WELCOME
TO DONCASTER RACECOURSE
Hello and welcome to Doncaster Racecourse for our final fixture of 2023 – the Chocolate Family Fun Raceday. We are delighted you’ve joined us here today and we would like to thank our sponsors KC Sofas, Ace Odds and Fitzdares for their generous support of today’s fixture. There are 7 races on the card and our raceday presenter Bobby Beevers and resident tipster Roger Hart will be in the Parade Ring at around 11:20 to run through the racecard with you and hopefully pick you out some winners! One to watch out for is Zambella, running in the KC Sofas Doncaster Yorkshire Silver Vase at 2:15 and hoping to make it a hat trick – having won this steeple chase in 2021 and 2022. There’s lots of free entertainment for the whole family to enjoy today including a kids disco, colouring station, mini-shows and character meet-and-greets. Make sure you pick up your Golden Ticket Treasure Hunt Map from the Guest Experience Desk. Find all five Golden Tickets hidden around the racecourse, collect the five letters to spell a word, fill in your contact details on the map along with the correct answer and hand your map in to the Guest Services desk to claim your free 2024 Sunday Family Pass. Our first fixture of 2024 is on Wednesday 10th January when you can enjoy some mid-week afternoon jumps racing. The Great Yorkshire Chase weekend is Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th January, featuring a Premier Handicap run over three miles with 18 fences. It’s roll of honour includes Ziga Boy - the most successful horse in this race having won on two occasions. The Grimthorpe Chase weekend takes place on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd March and is the final jumps fixture at Town Moor. Run at Doncaster each year, The Grimthorpe Chase is a National Hunt steeplechase that contains 19 jump fences. The distance has varied over time, but currently sits at a little over 3 miles and 2 furlongs. Considered the ultimate endurance test, this race is seen as a trial for the Aintree Grand National in April, as many winners (such as The Last Samuri and Definitely Red) have gone on to be favourites in the Merseyside race. 2024 Annual Memberships are now on sale. As well as our existing County Annual Membership, we have two new badges for 2024! Grandstand Annual Membership – available from the Early Bird price of £360 and for our existing Annual Members wishing to upgrade their membership – Premier Annual Membership for £995 (limited to 50 badges).

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 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.

It might be worth siding with THERAPIST to step up on her opening hurdle effort at Newbury. Ezmerellda wasn’t disgraced in a listed race there on her hurdle debut and is second choice. Love True and Brora Breeze are likely types among the hurdle newcomers.

ONEMOREFORTHEROAD got off to a flying start over fences when a C&D scorer earlier in the month and can make light of a 7lb rise in the weights with more to come now. Richhill also has better days ahead of him in this sphere so should ensure Neil King’s 8-y-o doesn’t have things all his own way. Ukantango and Parisiencore need factoring into this competitive handicap too.

ZAMBELLA was hugely impressive at Aintree on reappearance and the form has a strong look to it, so she can win this race for the third year running.

RACE SUMMARY
A few with potential but BHALOO looked a sure-fire future winner when third on his hurdling bow at Kempton so Nicky Henderson’s 5-y-o gets the vote here. Alan King’s Dancing In Brazil appeals as the one to chase him home now his stamina is drawn out more, although both Parade Away and Banteer warrant respect too. 1-2-3: 1.BHALOO (IRE) 2.DANCING IN BRAZIL 3.PARADE AWAY (IRE) KEY colours
