Chepstow - 2025-03-16 - O_FINAL PLAN by Arena Racing Company

Welcome to Chepstow Racecourse for our St Patrick’s Sunday Raceday ﬁxture. We’re thrilled to have you with us and will be bringing you 7 live competitive races this afternoon.

We kick off the action at 14:02 with a Mares’ Maiden Hurdle going right through to a National Hunt Flat Race to ﬁnish the day at 17:17.

We’re glad to be joined by a live Irish band, The Tin Monkeys, who will be playing live on entrance into the Premier Enclosure and will be playing during the day in the Premier Foyer

It’s wonderful to see so many students with us today, with over 5000 joining us for this St Patrick’s Day Sunday and we thank Invades for their continued support. It’s wonderful to see their terriﬁc work in bringing so many new faces into racing and we’re very pleased to be working with them on providing a great raceday experience for new customers, whom we hope will come back time and time again to visit us at Chepstow

Big thanks must go to our 2 sponsors today, Capital Windscreens and DragonBet. Both companies are huge sponsors of the racecourse not just today but across the year and for many years previous and we greatly appreciate their continued support.

We have a couple of big days coming up. Firstly the Grand National Party Raceday on Saturday 5th April, featuring a DJ set by Mathew Horne (from Gavin & Stacey) live after racing. This day is then soon followed by our popular Bank Holiday Monday ﬁxture on 21st April. This year we’ve partnered with Social Eats to host a Music Tribute Festival on this day. Please visit our website to see more information and purchase your tickets.

Finally, a big thank you to you all for attending today. We hope you have lots of fun, and ﬁnd a few winners along the way.

Star Ratings Explained

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are deﬁned below:

HHHHH Selected to win the race

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope 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 nonhandicaps 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.
