Star Ratings Explained Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race.
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.
HHHHI Good chance of being placed. HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
HIIII Can be given little or no chance.
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED 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-handicaps 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.

On behalf of everyone at Bath Racecourse, we would like to extend you a very warm welcome to our final raceday of the season, Beckford Stakes Day, kindly sponsored by European Breeders Fund, Vickers Bet and Bath Luxury Toilet Hire. We are set for a wonderful afternoon of racing, with 7 exciting flat races taking place throughout the day with the highlight being the Beckford Stakes at 4.00pm. This Listed race, has a prize pot of £65,000 and gave The King his first Listed winner when it was held at Great Yarmouth last season. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our Owners and Trainers who have chosen to run their horses here at Bath throughout this season. Your continued support is greatly appreciated, and we wish you an enjoyable time here with us today. Looking back on the season, we have had a great year and have loved welcoming you to experience it with ourselves. On reflection, particular highlights would include our opening fixture on Good Friday where we welcomed 10,000 guests to the richest meeting Bath has ever held. Moving into the summer, we saw the ever-popular Happy Romance win the Lansdown Stakes. The summer months saw some very competitive racing on track and great social meetings with Ladies Day, our Rum & Reggae Night and our Cider Raceday when The Wurzels played, being highlights. More recently, we have seen the John Flint trained Lusaka winning the ever-popular Bath Stayers Series Final and the Robyn Brisland trained Delagate This Lord winning the Sprint Series, both of which were performances that will live long in the memory. Today, I am excited to see who will land the Beckford Stakes and feel it is great to finish with such a highlight of our season. Billy Loughnane has proved the Bath master in his debut year and has racked up an incredible 11 wins which will make him Bath’s top jockey for the season. The top trainer accolade has been a tighter affair with Gary Moore, Richard Hannon and Adrian Wintle all ending as tied top trainers on 7 wins. Well done to all for their success here at Bath this season. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome today’s sponsors, The European Breeders Fund, Vickers Bet & Bath Luxury Toilet Hire. I would like to thank them for their generosity, and wish them an enjoyable afternoon. Our 2024 season has recently been finalised and published on our website and we are already looking forward to welcoming you back next year. Tickets & Hospitality can be purchased on our website over the winter months so head to www.bath-racecourse.co.uk to guarantee your place back with ourselves next year. As we move into the off season, we see our fireworks night event return on Friday 3rd November and a host of Christmas party nights in December. These events are fantastic opportunities to enjoy evenings with us with either your family or work colleagues so please do visit the website to book in. I hope you all have an enjoyable afternoon here at Bath, best of luck and we look forward to welcoming you back to Bath Racecourse again in 2024. Simon Tonge

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (18-23): C Cox (30 wins from 121 runners, 25%) runs DASHING HARRY TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): S & E Crisford (4 wins from 27 runners, 15%) runs RAWAASI LONGEST TRAVELLERS: BLUE STORM trained by J Tate, RAWAASI trained by S & E Crisford, both Newmarket, 155 miles. RACE SUMMARY
DASHING HARRY was much improved from debut despite still doing plenty wrong when fourth at Salisbury so this son of Harry Angel can improve again with the drop in trip likely to be in his favour. Rawaasi was a good second at Kempton 3 weeks ago so rates the main threat ahead of Blue Storm, who set the standard on his debut win at Newmarket but has been modest since.
