Floodlit Racing Thursday 11th January 2024
Official Programme £3.50
Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse for our first meeting of 2024. We are looking forward to another busy year at the racecourse with some exciting new ventures. On Sunday, 21st January, we will be hosting the second-ever Sunday evening fixture as part of a six-fixture trial by the BHA, which we hope will be very popular. There will be fantastic prize money on offer, and it will be the perfect way for you to end your weekends – enjoying fine food in our restaurant whilst watching great racing. We have a family day planned for you on Good Friday, Ladies’ Day on 20th June with Beverley Knight on stage after racing, and our first Premier Raceday on Sunday, 7th July. This meeting will feature the Listed Queen Charlotte Stakes, which was won by the magnificent Highfield Princess in 2021. Other feature days include The Cardinal Stakes on Saturday, 6th April, which is the final chance for European horses to qualify for the Kentucky Derby, and on Thursday, 2nd May, the Listed Chelmer Stakes will take centre stage. We look forward to sharing this journey with you in 2024. Neil Graham Racing Director

Timeform Rating
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS
The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.
You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

CITY SELECTIONS Sirius White’s effort at Wolverhampton last time can easily be forgiven, as he was reported to be lame after the race, and he could get involved if reproducing his effort when victorious here on his penultimate start. However, preference is for REVERBERATION, who failed to justify favouritism over 1m4f on his most recent outing but this big drop in distance could help him to bounce back to form. Martini Lodge completes the shortlist in a first-time hood. REVERBERATION

TIMEFORM VIEW Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 11 in novice at Newbury (7f, good, 100/1) when last seen in May. Much less exposed than the rest of these now handicapping after 7 months off. Would come into it if the betting suggests he’s fancied. TFRHHHHI BHA39

Hellavapace is PLAY SMARTER respected on the back of her latest Wolverhampton third. A market move for David Simcock handicap newcomer Charlatan would also bring him firmly into the reckoning.

CITY SELECTIONS NEW YORK BAY won impressively over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last week and only has to carry a 5lb penalty here. The son of New Bay could have plenty more to offer on only his third handicap start and looks difficult to oppose. Good Time Ahead finished a fair fourth over an extended 2m at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and can fight it out for second off a 1lb lower mark, while Taxiing is another to note. NEW YORK BAY

CITY SELECTIONS ROTHAY PARK produced his best effort to date when runner-up at Lingfield in November and he sets a fair standard in this contest with a rating of 72. The three-year-old looks well placed to go one better and shed his maiden tag. Different Breed has been a model of consistency, as he hasn’t finished out of the top three on each of his last four starts, and is likely to be in contention once again. Any market confidence behind Dyrholaey would also be of interest. ROTHAY PARK

CITY SELECTIONS DUE DATE could be the answer at this level having outrun huge odds to finish fourth in a handicap over C&D last month. The selection has dropped markedly in the handicap in recent months and this appears a good opportunity for Charlie Wallis’ charge. Hard Solution (fifth) and Monsieur Fantaisie (eighth) are contenders based on last week’s encounter at Lingfield DUE DATE

CITY SELECTIONS SUNSET IN PARIS has posted some good efforts at this venue and has been found a good opportunity to follow up last month’s comfortable success over this trip at Lingfield.

CITY SELECTIONS REMARKABLE FORCE went close to making it a perfect start for new trainer Brian Toomey when narrowly denied over C&D by Riot last month and the four-year-old, who was only raised 1lb for that effort, is more than capable of going one better. The aforementioned Riot backed that effort up by finishing third here subsequently and is likely to enter calculations once again, while Love De Vega and Ultramarine are others worth noting.

CITY SELECTIONS THE GAY BLADE returned to winning ways with a vengeance at Newcastle last Thursday when making every yard of the running. Connections opt to take advantage of him running under a 5lb penalty, as he would carry 5lb more in future contests, and a repeat of that performance would make him tough to beat. Sparkling Spirit is capable of being in the mix following her third at Newcastle on Monday, while any market support for Wee Geordie would make him of interest. THE GAY BLADE
