PLAY SMARTER
Race Summary: OCTOBER HILL is in better form than recent form figures suggest, and this represents an excellent opportunity back in a maiden. The main danger looks to be Queen Maeve, who remains capable of better making only her second start for Dan Skelton.

Race Summary:
BATWOMEN failed to build on earlier promise when third at Huntingdon last time but could still prove the way to go given she looked to find the step up to 3m beyond her and now reverts to her optimum trip on the back of a breathing operation. Gris Majeur goes well fresh so this C&D scorer could emerge as the main danger ahead of The Winslow Boy and Bond Broker

Race Summary: GABORIOT didn’t get very far on his return to hunter chase company at Catterick earlier in the month but is worth another chance given his form in good-quality handicaps. Killer Clown was useful at his peak and clearly retains some ability based on his form in points, so is interesting on hunter debut, whilst the similarly once-useful Frere d’Armes may find this more suitable than the stamina test he faced at Fakenham last time

HORSE WELFARE
“Racing’s top priority is the safety and welfare of horse and rider” At Ludlow Racecourse we are committed to minimising risks as far as possible We aim to deal quickly and humanely with injured horses and to maintain the highest quality of veterinary care We have three Equine Veterinary Surgeons in attendance at all meetings who are responsible for the welfare of all horses in action One Veterinary Surgeon follows the race in the centre of the course and can attend a horse with the same response time as the Paramedic teams responsible for the jockeys. It is our policy to erect screens around any injured horse requiring Veterinary attention on the racecourse. This is designed to provide privacy for the Veterinary Surgeons, the patient and connections. Please do not assume the worst
LUDLOW CLUB ROOM
The Ludlow Club Room on the ground floor of the Plymouth Stand is for the Exclusive use of the holders of Ludlow Annual Members Metal Badges and Ludlow Annual Members Guest Badges only.
COURSE CROSSINGS
In the interests of Safety would members of the public please note that when the order “Jockey Mount” is given they must clear the course ready for the horses leaving the paddock and going to the start.
VIEWING ON COURSE
Would all patrons please note that while any race is in progress no person is allowed on the course except Racecourse Ground Staff and First Aid Attendants. All other persons must stay behind the running rails. THIS INCLUDES OWNERS, TRAINERS, JOCKEYS, PRESS and PHOTOGRAPHERS.
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-handicap 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.
For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.
