Howdy and welcome to our Cowboys & Country Race Night!
We’re thrilled to welcome you to Town Moor tonight; it’s shaping up to be a fantastic evening of racing with eight exciting races lined up on tonight’s card “Giddy-up” and join our raceday presenter Bobby Beavers and our resident tipster Roger Hart in the parade ring at around 4:45pm, where they’ll guide you through the racecard and hopefully help you pick out a few winners along the way.
Fancy a laugh? Keep an eye out for comedy legend and Benidorm star Crissy Rock who will be mingling and meeting guests this evening! With her hilarious one-woman stand-up shows, not to mention her range of fantastic roles and her exploits on ITV’s “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here” in 2012, Crissy is a household name who has had us laughing from our sofas for years!
We would like to thank our sponsors for their very generous support of tonight’s fixture – Go Racing in Yorkshire, European Breeders Fund, Skill Step Group and Grace and Dotty!

On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital.
It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.

Toughed it out well to maintain his unbeaten record in Gordon Stakes at Goodwood and extra distance promises to suit. Big shout.
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.
