Welcome to Chepstow Racecourse!
We’re delighted to welcome you to Chepstow Racecourse for our Rum & Reggae Caribbean Racenight. It promises to be an unforgettable summer evening featuring exciting flat racing, bold Caribbean flavours, and vibrant live reggae music!
Before racing begins, make sure you catch the Caribbean cooking demo with the legendary Levi Roots at 16:00, taking place at the swing grill behind the Lawn Marquee. The demo will be filmed and broadcast live on the big screen and across the TVs around the course, so you can enjoy it from wherever you are. It’s the perfect way to whet your appetite and set the tone for the evening.
After the racing, head over to the main stage for a 75-minute DJ set from Levi Roots, bringing the sounds and spirit of the Caribbean to life.

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.
