We’re delighted to have you with us for what promises to be an exciting afternoon of flat turf racing. Kicking things off at 13:10, we’re thrilled to be supporting the Pony Racing Authority’s Racecourse Series by hosting a pony race to start the day off. This series gives rising stars in the saddle and their ponies a great opportunity to showcase their skills in front of a racecourse crowd, something we are proud to be a part of. This is then followed by 7 races all on the flat turf course, with some competitive handicaps and an exciting novice stake on the card.

A big thank you to our fantastic sponsor, DragonBet, for your continued support and partnership. You’ll find the team from Dragonbet in the betting ring at Chepstow on all of our fixtures.

We’d also like to express our sincere appreciation to the owners and trainers who’ve brought their runners to today’s meeting. Whether you’re a local trainer/owner continually supporting the course, or a first-time owner enjoying watching your horse run with us for the first time, we are very grateful for choosing Chepstow for your runner(s). Best of luck to you all for today’s action.

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.

If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

The Chepstow Racecourse Executive would like to thank our sponsors and wish them an enjoyable and prosperous day’s racing.

The vote goes to RUN OF LUCK, who finished nearer last than first on the all-weather last time but his form figures in turf handicaps read 2131 and he still has low mileage Curtiz is likely to emerge as the main danger, but if the first-time blinkers have a positive effect Gallant Lion could also be a threat.
