Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse on Greene King Day, sponsored by Paddy Power. This annual event always has a wonderful atmosphere and with top-class racing throughout the afternoon, it promises to be a fantastic day. The action begins at 2.20pm with a nursery for two-year-olds, featuring some likely improving types. This is followed by another race for two-year-olds, none of whom have won yet and all are pretty lightly raced; John Gosden runs an eye-catching Godolphinowned, Blue Point colt that cost 340,000 gns as a yearling, who must be worth watching if he is fancied in the betting. This is followed by two competitive handicaps at 3.20 and 3.50pm before we have a very open-looking maiden at 4.20pm with Estmrar, running for the Simon and Ed Crisford stable, looking the likely favourite. The day ends with a really competitive classiﬁed stakes race with 15 declared runners, in which Foinix must have every chance of continuing his recent run of good form. Good luck with ﬁnding a winner or two and have a great afternoon.

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

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!

2015 The racecourse opened its doors to the public, with the ﬁrst race being won by the Godolphin owned Tryster, trained by Charlie Appleby and ridden by Adam Kirby. First major music concert, when Madness played after racing to a crowd of more than 10,000. The racecourse quickly established a reputation for some of the most generous prize money in British racing and an attendance of more than 80,000.

2016 World-class entertainment with concerts from Simply Red, Rick Astley and Jools Holland among others. Staged the prestigious rearranged Greenham meeting following the decision to abandon the original Newbury ﬁxture. This card featured three Group races and was incredibly well-received by the racing community.

2017 A trailblazing year with quality racing and great entertainment such as Boyzone. Chelmsford City’s annual Ladies Day was a sell out, becoming a focal part of the Essex social calendar.

2018 Staged 63 ﬁxtures with a massive £5.2 million in prize money, this included the UK’s most valuable evening meeting in history and Chelmsford City Racecourse’s ﬁrst ever Listed race, the Queen Charlotte Stakes. Chelmsford City quickly broke this record just two months later with an even more valuable meeting which featured the inaugural running of the Chelmsford City Cup worth an astonishing £100,000.

2019 Addition of another Listed race, the Chelmer Stakes. Co-hosted our ﬁrst music festival, Clockstock, in partnership with the legendary Clockwork Orange. This sell-out festival saw 60 of dance music’s most iconic DJs and acts including Erick Morillo, Roger Sanchez, and Todd Terry come to the racecourse and deliver undoubtedly the biggest party in Essex.

2020 What looked to be a sensational sixth year at Chelmsford City Racecourse, like most the racecourse found itself disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. The racecourse prevailed becoming one of the ﬁrst to return with ‘behind closed doors’ racing, managing to successfully stage the majority of its calendar as well as preparing to open as one of the South East’s largest vaccination centres in the new year.

2021 The Chelmer Stakes headlined the racing calendar, with course specialist Sean Levey and Happy Romance claiming victory in the thrilling six-furlong sprint. The racecourse also brought world-class music to Essex, hosting Example’s ﬁrst UK performance since the pandemic in September.

2022 The Cardinal Stakes, the racecourse’s premier event, featured a prestigious Conditions race with a remarkable £100,000 prize fund. Additionally, to commemorate Racing Together Community Day, the racecourse proudly supported the Eden Project’s Carers Week, raising awareness of unpaid carers and the challenges they face.

2023 Chelmsford City Racecourse hosted its inaugural Remembrance Raceday on Armistice Day, honouring the Armed Forces in partnership with the Royal British Legion. Over £4,000 was raised for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, marking a memorable day of tribute and racing.

2024  Present Chelmsford City Racecourse reached new heights with enhanced races, increased prize money, and record-breaking success. Good Friday racing in 2024 set a new benchmark, achieving the highest ticket sales for any racing event that year. The racecourse revealed its biggest music event yet for 2025, announcing a threeday festival with a daily capacity of 25,000 people. The event will feature major headliners, including Justin Timberlake, Duran Duran, and Olly Murs.

With a career spanning decades and hits like “U Don’t Know Me,” “My My My,” and “Bonkers”, Armand Van Helden has solidiﬁed his place as a pioneer in the electronic and house music scenes. CHELMSFORDCITYRACECOURSE.COM

CITY SELECTIONS Plenty of these have the potential to improve now pitched into nurseries, including Walk On Walk On, who arrives with his head held high following a creditable third at Windsor. Demetrius merits respect under a 6lb penalty, having won at Catterick latest, while Princess Billyboy does not look overburdened by an opening mark of 61. However, preference is for TOO HOT TO LOVE. Tom Clover has his string in ﬁne form and given that his charge is related to a number of all-weather winners, she could step forward. Demetrius

CITY SELECTIONS Armstrong sets the form standard following a couple of promising runs in defeat but although George Boughey’s colt is unlikely to be far away, it is ARCHER ROYAL that shades preference. The son of Blue Point fetched 340,000gns as a yearling whilst being related to a host of useful individuals, so it would come as no great surprise were he good enough to land the spoils. Warning Symbol won’t ﬁnd this as taxing as the Goodwood maiden he contested latest and ﬁrst-time cheekpieces could spark some improvement. Armstrong

CAARE

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 Vibrato appreciated the return to the all-weather when victorious at Southwell on his most recent outing and holds an obvious chance off just 3lb higher. However, MC LOVEN wasn’t disgraced in third in a stronger contest at Lingﬁeld earlier in the month and has been dropped 1lb. The son of Harry Angel lurks on an appealing rating and looks the way to go. General Assembly is another to keep an eye on. Vibrato

CITY SELECTIONS ESTMRAR finished second on his debut over 7f here last November prior to running with credit in both starts at Meydan. The Crisfords’ three-year-old, who has been gelded and undergone a wind operation since, sets a fair standard with an official rating of 87. Lordsbridge Grey took a step forward when fourth at Lingfield last time and may have more to offer in a first-time tongue-tie. Any market confidence behind newcomer Pulsar Star would be interesting.

CITY SELECTIONS FOINIX made his way through the ﬁeld to score in a class 6 handicap at Brighton earlier in the month and arguably brings the best recent form to the table. As long as the ﬁve-year-old can back that performance up, he will prove tough to beat. Madrigal Moment ran a career-best when hitting the crossbar at Ripon last month and the booking of Luke Morris catches the eye. Of the remainder, Star Of St Louis makes the most appeal.
