HORSE WELFARE

“Racing’s top priority is the safety and welfare of horse and rider”. Like most sports racing carries risks, however, we work to make sure that no death or injury occurs, which could have been prevented. Here at Stratford Racecourse we are committed to minimising risks, dealing quickly and humanely with injuries, and maintaining the highest possible quality of life for the animals in our care. At every meeting we have two specially qualified Equine Vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action There is also a British Horseracing Authority Vet in attendance. During the race two vets follow the action from the centre of the course and can attend to a horse in the same response time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating the injured jockeys. It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected round the horse It is designed to afford the vet and the patient some privacy Please do not assume the worst.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION

In the event of an emergency all persons on the racecourse will be alerted by the following message over the public address system. This is an emergency announcement. Due to circumstances beyond our control, racing has been temporarily suspended Would all patrons please evacuate ALL buildings and make your way across the racetrack to the Red post marker in the Centre of the Course. Police and Racecourse Officials will assist and direct you. Please do not go to any Car Park until you are cleared to do so, because you may hamper the movement of emergency vehicles The message will then be repeated

BROKEN GLASSES AND BOTTLES

Ben Pauling’s HORNICA has some fairly useful form to her name and looks to have been found a very good opportunity to gain a breakthrough victory returning from a break. Yeld To Call wasn’t seen to ideal effect when pulled up at Kelso last time and appeals as the one to give her most to do ahead of Merely A Detail and Lady Kara.

RACE SUMMARY:

A case can be made for a few of these but GRANNY HAWKINS looked to have something up her sleeve when a stylish scorer at Hereford last time and can defy a 6lb rise. Fromheretoeternity is weighted to go well and could prove the biggest danger to Alan King’s hat-trick-seeking mare ahead of in-form duo La Marquise and Borna Gem.

RACE SUMMARY:

KILLER CLOWN confirmed he retains a chunk of his old ability when making a successful hunter debut at Ludlow last month and has won again in the pointing field since, so he looks set to strike again. The main threat is surely Largy Pearl, who has the profile to suggest he can progress plenty in this code.
