NOTE: All statistics are up to and including 20th August.
We are delighted to welcome the Lanark Lord Cornet 2025, Edward Pringle to Hamilton Park this evening, as well as other members of the Lord Cornets’ Club.
The Lanimer Celebrations consist of nearly a week-long series of events. Lanimer Day itself usually falls on the Thursday between the 6th and 12th June each year.
In the past these celebrations have been referred to under several names - Landemuir day, Landemuris, Landmarches, Ryding of the Merches, etc. All are versions or corruptions of Land Marches. When the Crown established Royal Burghs, as part of the contract, the burgesses of the town had to examine the march stones every year and report that all was well or ill according to what they found. The checking of Lanark’s March Stones is the source of today’s much expanded celebrations. Lanark is one of the oldest Royal Burghs in Scotland, its Charter being granted by King David I (1124-1153). Lanark may be unique in being the only Burgh that has checked its boundaries each year since it was established c.1140. In 1588 the Burgh records describe the Lanimers as being ‘ancient and yearly’. The checking of such bounds was taken seriously by the Crown.
Today there are 17 march stones situated at various points around the burgh lands, a few of which are relatively new being replacements for those “lost” over the years. Most of the replacements were installed to mark the Millennium, with the latest replacement march stones installed in 2015.
What started as a simple duty soon turned into an annual festival, “The Lanimers”. Originally all the events were packed into Lanimer Day but gradually during the late 19th and early 20th Century the celebrations began to expand to fill the whole week What started as a “business practice” carried out by paid officials of the Town Council, had by the 17th century evolved into a more enjoyable affair with the burgesses vying with each other for the honour of carrying the Burgh Standard on Lanimer Day. The person appointed for the year became known at first as the Standard Bearer, then as the Cornet and is nowadays most often referred to as the ‘Lord Cornet’.
One of the highlights of the festivities is undoubtedly the Evening Ride Out by the Lord Cornet, Ex-Lord Cornets and friends to examine the March stones on the west, east and south sides of the town. As part of the evening’s proceedings horse chases are held for participants of the ride out. A range of chases takes place from those on ponies to one for Ex-Lord Cornets and for one of the oldest horse chases anywhere - The Burgh Spurs. After covering further countryside the groupstopsatnearbyNewLanarkforrestandrefreshments.Prizesforthewinnersofthechases are distributed and the Lanimer Queen Elect is presented with a Loving Cup by New Lanark Village Group. The group then reforms and returns cross country to Lanark.
Lanimer Day is the main day of the celebrations and is packed with activity and is also the longest of the week. The official day starts with the uplifting of the Lord Cornet from his house by members of the Lord Cornets’ Club led by Police Scotland Mounted Branch. This cavalcade then proceeds to the Lanark Memorial Hall where the Lord Cornet and his entourage greet the many visiting Principals and other guests. This is followed by the “Safe Oot, Safe In” toast given by the ProvostofSouthLanarkshire.TheLordCornetandhispartythenformaprocessionandproceed to Hope Street and Bloomgate where they are met by massed bands and make their way via theCross to St. Leonard Street where the rest of the participants in the Morning Procession have assembled. The Lord Cornet then leads the procession of mounted Cornets, walking dignitaries, decorated lorries and Queen’s pageantry around the streets in the town before the Crowning of The Lanimer Queen.
We do hope the Lord Cornet Edward and his guests enjoy their evening at Hamilton Park.

This race is a one mile and 68 yards maiden stakes for two-year-olds. Maiden races provide a starting point for young horses that are yet to record a victory and most will be very lightly-raced or be making their racecourse debuts. Previous experience can count for a lot when searching for the winner but well-bred or precocious juveniles are more than capable of landing the prize at the first time of asking.

RACE SUMMARY: AUGUST GEORGE belied his odds when a close runner-up on debut at Newmarket 2 weeks ago That’s usually a race worth following and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to get off the mark.

This is a one mile, one furlong and 35 yards handicap race for fillies and mares aged three-years-old and upwards which have been rated from 61 to 80. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than a lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.

RACE SUMMARY: None of the quartet can be discounted, but ready preference is for the well-bred SEREN STAR who got off the mark at Chepstow last month and could be open to plenty of improvement now handicapping under a good value apprentice. Hackey Diamonds is back in a more realistic grade and has been given a chance by the handicapper if a change of headgear does the trick, while Storm On Jura looks to have been campaigned with handicaps in mind and could have more to offer on her handicap bow.

RACE DESCRIPTION
This contest is a Novice Stakes run over a distance of one mile and three furlongs. There are a variety of reasons why the three-year-olds in this race are still light on experience. Stoutly bred horses are unlikely to be seen at their best over the shorter distances of their juvenile season whilst a setback or injury can curtail even the most precociously bred horse’s two-year-old career

Tonight will see the near 1,000 year old Lanark Silver Bell trophy being contested for the sixteenth time in 46 years having been run at Lanark Racecourse until 1977 and being reinstated at Hamilton Park in 2008. 2022 saw the race upgraded to a prestigious Heritage Handicap and with prize money of £100,000 on offer, making it the richest race ever to be staged at Hamilton Park.
Ashley Moon, Racecourse Managing Director at Hamilton Park said: “It’s fantastic to be able to continue to invest in the Lanark Silver Bell fixture including the Lanark Silver Bell Heritage Handicap worth £100,000 as well as the £40,000 Darley EBF Novice Stakes. We are delighted to have attracted quality fields across this evening’s races. We have always aimed to continue the development of this historic fixture and I can’t wait to see who’s name will be added to the history of the Bell.”
Unfortunately the original Lanark Silver Bell is not on display with us this evening. It is in the permanent collection of South Lanarkshire Council’s Museums department, along with 150,000 other objects in the highly accredited Low Parks Museum.
The Lanark Silver Bell is one of the most ancient Racing Trophies in Britain, yet its origins are disputed. The Bell disappeared without trace for many years. It was rediscovered in 1836 in Lanark Town Council’s vaults when they were in the process of moving to their new offices in Hope Street.
Many believed the Bell to have been gifted from King William ‘The Lion’ of Scotland in approximately 1165. If this were the case, the trophy would be the oldest in the world!
The Silver Bell was a highly acclaimed race competed for annually at Lanark Racecourse. The old inscriptions on the trophy suggest that Sir Johne Hamilton of Trabovn was one of the first winners, in 1628, to have their name engraved on such a prestigious prize.
The last ever running of the Lanark Silver Bell at Lanark Racecourse was in 1977. The winner, Border River was owned and trained by Clifford Watts and ridden by David Nicholls.
In 2008, the race was reinstated at Hamilton Park, with the William Haggas trained Tifernati becoming the first winner of the Silver Bell for thirty-one years. This was followed by the aptly named Record Breaker, trained by Mark Johnston, who broke the course record in 2009, giving Johnston Racing their first of five wins under the races previous conditions.
William Haggas took the win last year with La Yakel, under jockey Cieren Fallon.
Tonight riders in the Ecosave Installations Lanark Silver Bell Handicap are competing for one of the oldest sporting prizes in existence. Legend has it that the original trophy was presented as a gift to the people of Lanark by King William ‘The Lion’ in 1165.
In 2012, the racecourse unveiled a new Silver Bell Trophy to complement the original piece, handcrafted by Edinburgh jewelers and warrant holders to His Majesty the King, Hamilton & Inches.
Completed after a detailed six month design process, the 100% sterling silver trophy reflects many of the hallmarks of the original artifact, which has now become too valuable to be presented to winners. With that in mind, the Hamilton Park team decided to make a new trophy with a refreshed contemporary feel, to sit alongside the ancient relic.
Ashley Moon, Racecourse Managing Director said: “We are immensely proud to have been able to commission the new Silver Bell Trophy and present it to the winner of this historic race.
The original trophy is steeped in history, representing such a great part of Lanarkshire’s rich and vibrant heritage, which was the main motivation behind working to preserve its legacy for many generations to come. The trophy’s creation process was an intensive one, ensuring we paid particular attention to many of the trophy’s original features while adding some contemporary flair.”
Frank Gunning, Former Chair of the Royal Burgh of Lanark Community Council said: “Everyone in Lanark is hugely pleased at the continued success of the meeting and the Lanark Silver Bell Handicap.
We are grateful to Hamilton Park Racecourse for investing towards the future of the trophy, enshrining its legacy for many years.
It’s a great idea to allow owners to celebrate with the new trophy after winning the race, as well as becoming an eternal part of the Silver Bell’s story when their name is scribed into a winning shield.”
This race is a one mile and four furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards. The majority of handicaps are designed for horses from with a specific ratings band but this particular race has no rating restrictions attached to it which allows horses with a higher rating to take part. Despite having no rating restrictions attached to it the higher rated horses must still concede weight to their lower rated rivals, which tend to make open handicaps very competitive races.

This is a five furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 71 to 90. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap In simple terms a horse rated 90 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 85.

Top-rated on adjusted figures, she looks primed for another big run. Naana’s Sparkle arrives in red-hot form after an impressive Goodwood victory and is feared most ahead of Brummell, who bounced back with a career-best win at Pontefract.

RACE DESCRIPTION
This is a six furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 61 to 80. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb

This is a five furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 65. Like most handicaps on the flat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is. This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is considered a disadvantage
