Wetherby Racecard - Saturday 31st January

BEST TURNED OUT

Racing grooms work very hard looking after the horses in their care to ensure they come to the races looking immaculate. As a reward for their efforts, a cash prize is presented to the groom who is judged to have produced the 'Best Turned Out' horse in every race.

Condition & Coat - Racehorses are athletes and the way their coat looks and the way it moves easily over their muscles reflects the horses overall condition. The coat should look smooth, clean and have a glossy shine, but pay attention to Greys and lighter coloured Chestnuts, as they won't carry such a sheen to their coats, which is not for want of trying, they just have the equine equivalent of mousey hair and remember that Greys often require much more work and effort to get clean. Quarter marks are the patterns put onto the coat on the horse's hindquarters or shoulder. They are made using a damp brush, wiped against the natural lie of the coat. Much like brushing velvet the wrong way.

To Plait or not to Plait - to win Best Turned Out a horse does not have to be plaited. Some horses do not like having their heads touched and get over-excited when being plaited as it indicates they could be off to the races. If a horse is not plaited it should not go against them, providing their loose mane is short, tangle-free and even, and lying on the right hand side of the horse's neck. Plaits should be small, neat and uniform with an odd number of plaits along the neck and one at the front.

Tails you win! - Doubtless at some point you will have heard that you should not stand behind a horse! For racing grooms the trust they build with their horses means you may see some in the Parade Ring with a plaited tail. If tails are loose they must be tangle-free, not too long, and there should be no wisps of bedding or hay in the tail.

No foot no Horse - Horse's legs, particularly white markings, known as socks or stockings, must be clean. Sometimes chalk is used to brighten these marks. Feet should be well shod and hooves oiled.

Best Dressed - All items of clothing (tack) the horse wears should be in good condition and clean.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW This looks an excellent opportunity for improving JUST GOLDEN to get off the mark over hurdles. It’s unlikely we’ve seen the best of imposing 8-y-o Solid Performer, but he may come into his own over fences, while Nosy Neighbour is entitled to take a step forward from his hurdle debut form.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW PRINCE ZALTAR has already mixed it in better company this season and the return to softer conditions can see him resume winning ways. Big City Roller (first-time cheekpieces) is very lightly-raced for his age and would be interesting if building on a creditable comeback at Exeter, while Twoshotsoftequila is worth noting if the betting suggests he’s ready to roll for his belated hat-trick bid.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW It could be worth chancing JERICOACOARA, who produced his best effort yet on these shores when fifth here on his latest start in November The 7-y-o would’ve finished closer but for a final-flight mistake and he has dipped to an attractive mark. Baratablet misfired last time but remains of interest in view of his earlier promise and rates the main danger, while John Barbour and top-weight Junker d’Allier also merit respect.
