Welcome to Kelso Racecourse for today’s fixture which, for the second consecutive year, has an unusually early start time.

As part of the British Horseracing Authority’s Premier racing trial, the final race at Kelso has been scheduled to conclude just before 2.00pm. The Cunningham Room Bar and selected Tote windows will remain open until after 4.00pm and we hope that you may consider staying on to enjoy the action from Doncaster, Wincanton and Aintree.

Today’s feature race is the £20,000 Belhaven Brewery Wishing Well Handicap Steeplechase. The race celebrates the discovery of an old well while we were redeveloping the parade ring in 2018. Having reinstated the top of the well, we inserted a large circular wire basket on a lengthy chain – so any coins tossed into the well for luck can be collected for the benefit of the Injured Jockeys’ Fund.

Irrespective of whether they toss any coins into the well, we’d like to wish the connections of all the runners on today’s card the very best of luck Thank you for choosing to run at Kelso – we hope that you have an enjoyable day

We are grateful for the generous financial contributions made towards the prize money for today’s races by our sponsors who, in addition to Belhaven Brewery, include: Racing TV, William Hill bookmakers, the friends and family of the late Ian Anderson and the friends of Graeme Todd. We wish each of today’s race sponsors, and all of their guests, a fabulous time.

The equivalent fixture next year, on Saturday 7th November, will return its normal afternoon timing. Please spread the word to any absent friends and we shall look forward to welcoming them back to Kelso in 2026.

How to Bet

1. Select your horse and note its name and racecard number

2. Choose your bet – ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are the two most common types:

• ‘To win’ is for your horse to come first

• ‘Each-way’ is when you place two bets in one: one for your horse to come first, the other for it to be placed. Therefore £2 each-way = £4 total bet.

• What qualifies as a ‘place’ depends on the number of runners: between two and four runners - first place only; between five and seven runners - first and second place; eight runners and over - first three places; 16 runners and over (handicaps only) - first four places

• The place part of the bet will be paid out at a fraction of the odds, usually a quarter or a fifth - this varies depending on the bookmaker, so check if you are unsure!

3. Decide the amount, also known as the stake that you are comfortable to bet

4. Choose your outlet and place your bet e.g. “£2 win on number three” or “£2 each-way on number six”.

5. If your horse has won, wait to hear “weighed in” over the public address system and then go and collect any winnings!

6. Got so swept up you forgot to collect your cash? There are details of how to collect winning slips after the raceday on our terms and conditions page near the back of the racecard.

OUR NEXT MEETING Autumn Raceday

Tuesday 18th November

As a new addition to Kelso’s fixture list for 2025, this is a great opportunity for customers to secure a table or private box in the hospitality stands.

The traditional jump racing season will be in full swing for this midweek fixture, so we’d generally expect competitive fields and some exciting finishes.

Kelso offers a single public enclosure so that all racegoers can get close to the horses in the Parade Ring and Winners Enclosure, as well as get a great view of the track.

Hospitality bookings must be made in advance and are subject to availability

Tongue Strap worn first time by No 9. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn first time by No 9. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 5, 8.

Probable S.P’s: 2-1 Sir Carnegie (IRE), 11-4 Wearelongterm (IRE), 9-1 Twp Stori (GB), Auchinlek (GB), 11-1 Joie More (IRE), Boolamore Classic (IRE), 25-1 Jirko (FR), 40-1 Knightphase (IRE), 100-1 Jo Arengeot Bey Aa (FR)

A number of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks an excellent opportunity for SIR CARNEGIE to follow up his emphatic Newcastle success and concede weight all round. Wearelongterm remains without a victory but could emerge as the main danger to Mickey Bowen’s five-year-old ahead of the lightly-raced Auchinlek

SAFETY INFORMATION

A day at Kelso Racecourse should be great fun for everyone; nobody wants an injury or an incident to spoil their day. So, when push comes to shove, we need to make sure that there isn’t any pushing or shoving.

The racecourse team prepares carefully for each event and we take every precaution to ensure that the site is as safe as is practical. However, we also need some help from you – to take responsibility for your own safety and to respect the safety and comfort of those around you. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a brief list of precautions that we’d like all visitors to consider:

Alcohol & Substance Abuse

Fortunately very few accidents occur at Kelso Racecourse, but those that do are most likely to be relatively minor incidents involving someone who has had too much to drink Quite simply: you’ll be safer if you drink less alcohol. On the rare occasion that we receive a customer complaint, it’s quite likely to be linked to the behaviour of someone who’s had one too many So please drink responsibly and encourage your friends to stay within their limits

Any incident involving substance abuse will be dealt with by Police Scotland.

Slips, Trips, Falls

We’ve commenced a series of developments at the racecourse and we’re gradually making the site more accessible for all, with smoother surfaces and ramps where we have differences in gradient

Please note that the site is not flat and there may be differences in levels, particularly between old surfaces, and surfaces which have recently been renewed. Please take care of yourselves and mind where you walk Don’t try to run faster than your legs can go, even if you think your bookmaker might be packing away for the day

Fences, Walls & Barriers

The fences, walls and temporary barriers located on the racecourse are intended to segregate people into specific areas This may include segregating people from horses or people from sensitive or hazardous equipment

Please do not attempt to climb over, sit on or stand on any barriers – regardless of whether they appear to be permanent or temporary features – they are not designed to take a person’s weight

Horses

Horses are big and run very fast; hopefully yours will run fastest of all. Please pay attention when in close proximity to the horses: stay on the public side of any barriers (close to the track or horse walk areas) and do not sit on or lean over barriers near to the horses The running rails are designed to encourage the horses to stay on the track –but they will not withstand a horse’s weight if they hit them, nor a jockey’s if he is thrown over them – so be prepared to move if a horse is behaving erratically

Fires

We’re proud of Kelso’s reputation for providing a warm welcome and the unique feature provided by the real fires that we light in the listed Grandstand and in the log-burning braziers surrounding the Parade Ring.

Our Fires have no brains – so please use your own. Fires are hot and there is a danger of burning yourself if you touch the fire or the surrounding metalwork Please do not put anything in the fires or fireplaces

Children

We welcome many children to Kelso races Although we don’t consider them to be particularly dangerous, we do ask that all children are appropriately supervised by a responsible adult – who should be particularly mindful of all the considerations above
