Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse Welcome to the third of our October floodlit fixtures with another nine-race card. The evening begins with a two year old maiden, in which Charlie Appleby runs Noble Journey, who is by Frankel out of a Dubawi mare, called Kitesurf, who won the Group 1 Prix Vermeille at Longchamp; he ran a rather ordinary fourth at Newmarket on his first run but with that run under his belt and an extra two furlongs tonight, he should go close. Our Timeform Sprint Series continues tonight with two divisions of this series at 5.10pm and 5.45pm; with twenty horses declared over the two races, there is obviously a strong appetite to be part of the £40,000 final on Thursday, 18th December, so come along to share the excitement on our last meeting of 2025. I hope you have a great evening.

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.

Celebrating a decade of thrilling racing and world-class events As we celebrate a decade of Chelmsford City Racecourse, it is humbling to reflect on how far the racecourse has come. Over the past 10 years, the racecourse has established itself as an increasingly important venue in British racing, earning recognition both nationally and globally. Our journey has been filled with remarkable achievements, with great racing and tremendous entertainment. Looking ahead, 2025 promises to be our most exciting year yet. With an enhanced racing programme, including our own dedicated raceday on ITV, and the launch of Essex’s biggest music festival Chelmsford City Live, we continue to elevate Chelmsford City Racecourse as the region’s premier sport and leisure destination. Beyond racing, we’ve built strong connections with our community and forged partnerships with leading international sponsors, all while maintaining a steadfast commitment to innovation. This year, we aim to raise £100,000 for local and industry causes and inspire the next generation of racegoers. To all who have supported us on this incredible journey, including horsemen, racegoers, members, sponsors and of course our brilliant team, a huge thank you. Your belief in our vision has been the foundation of our success and future plans. On behalf of myself and the entire team, I hope you have a wonderful night. Here’s to another decade of memories at Chelmsford City Racecourse!
Our Commitment to Horse Welfare At Chelmsford City Racecourse, the welfare of our horses is our highest priority, and this commitment is most visible in the continuous improvements made to our All-Weather racing surface. The surface has been expertly rewaxed and enhanced with added fibre to reduce kickback and improve safety. Additionally, the pedestrian crossing over the track was replaced early on with an underpass from the ticket office to the concourse, ensuring a safer experience for both horses and racegoers. Every raceday, three qualified equine vets are on duty, closely monitoring the action and ready to respond within moments should an incident occur. We always maintain two equine ambulances and three for jockeys on-site, supported by permanent veterinary boxes and, during major fixtures, on-site X-ray facilities for swift diagnosis and care. Hydration and recovery are also carefully managed, with ample water and multiple washdown stations available to help horses cool down immediately after racing. Chelmsford City Racecourse works with the British Horseracing Authority, Great British Racing, RSPCA, World Horse Welfare, and the Horse Welfare Board to champion world-class equine care. British Racing has invested over £56 million since 2000 in veterinary research and education, improving safety for all horses—not just racehorses. We remain committed to the highest standards of welfare, both on and off the track. At Chelmsford City, the horses come first—always.

CITY SELECTIONS NOBLE JOURNEY just about sets the standard with his debut fourth over 1m at Newmarket and, bred to appreciate this step up in trip (dam Group 1 winner over 1m4f), he rates the one to beat. Arouse and Devil’s Brigade probably ran to a similar level first time out and both could step forward to land a blow. However, newcomer Sea And Sun might prove the biggest threat making the trip down from North Yorkshire. NOBLE JOURNEY

CITY SELECTIONS MAD UNICORN edged out Redditizio on just her second handicap start at Wolverhampton five days ago and, with the promise of more to come, she is fancied to follow up under a 6lb penalty. The latter is officially 2lb well-in and looks the main danger, although neither American Flight or Go Lockers Go should be underestimated as they step into handicap company for the first time.

Don Pacifico returns after a gelding operation and has every chance on the form of his narrow Wolverhampton defeat two starts ago, while Artagnan might improve for a first-time tongue-tie.

CITY SELECTIONS Not seen since August 2024 when runner-up at Newmarket, EVENING SAIGON has been gelded in the interim and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to strike on his handicap debut. A mark of 85 could prove lenient and it may be the experienced The Thames Boatman who gives him the most to think about following a creditable runner-up effort over shorter at Lingfield last month. Inishfallen and Mesaafi may also have a say. EVENING SAIGON

CITY SELECTIONS A winner here over 1m in August, GIANT looked to be finding his way back to that form when runner-up over C&D last week, and he is taken to go one better off an unchanged mark. Mister Mojito has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate effort over track and trip when third, while Revolutionise had been in consistent form before a mediocre run at Kempton most recently.

CITY SELECTIONS Runner-up on two of her last three starts since scoring at Lingfield in June, EDERGOLE’S GIFT narrowly sets the standard on form and she can strike from a good draw with jockey Connor Planas taking off a valuable 3lb. Valadero had been in consistent form before being hampered at Wolverhampton last time out and he must enter calculations, along with Newcastle second My Mate Beattie.

CITY SELECTIONS A confident vote goes to MORTE POINT, whose Newbury triumph is sandwiched in between two fine runner-up efforts. The son of Due Diligence undoubtedly has much less to prove than some of his rivals and the progressive gelding is preferred to Arctic Grey, who receives a welcome ease in class having failed to land a blow in a class 2 at Ayr latest. The Quiet Gent is already proven on Polytrack and he didn’t run too badly at Kempton last time. MORTE POINT

CITY SELECTIONS The application of a first-time visor (retained) appeared to work the oracle for MY BOY HARRY, who struck at Kempton last Friday. Ashley Lewis negates much of the 6lb penalty courtesy of his 5lb claim and, although a wide draw is far from ideal, the three-year-old is unexposed over a mile and should have more to offer. Iftikhaar won at odds of 40/1 over C&D last month but disappointed latest and the blinkers will need to have a positive effect. Kessaar Power could be a bigger threat. MY BOY HARRY

CITY SELECTIONS WYLD BILL has two wins from five since switching to handicaps, the latest of those over C&D. He almost added a third win to his tally at Newcastle latest but ultimately weakened into second late on having been a little keen. He’s thriving at present, though, and from a handy draw he is taken to regain the winning thread. Masqool hit the frame at Wolverhampton last time and is likely to be thereabouts, while Voix De Bocelli appeals most of the remainder. WYLD BILL
