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.

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.

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.

This summer, 19-year-old Tom Dunlop, eldest son of Harry Dunlop, will embark on an extraordinary challenge for his gap year. Setting off from Newton Abbot Racecourse on Sunday 27th July, Tom will cycle over 2,600 miles solo, visiting all 60 Great British racecourses, finishing at Newbury on Thursday 28th August.

DUBLIN BAY looked ahead of his mark when opening his account at Ffos Las onTuesday and he’s taken to follow up under a penalty. Maasai Mata has solid claims in first time cheekpieces having finished runner-up at Thirsk last week, while White Ladder is one to note for market support now tried in headgear on nursery debut. Of the rest, Supreme Dancer has disappointed in handicap company so far but could be more competitive down in grade

What is a trade union?
A trade union is a group of employees who join together to maintain and improve their conditions of employment.
The typical activities of trade unions include providing assistance and services to their members, collectively bargaining for better pay and conditions for all workers, working to improve the quality of public services, political campaigning and industrial action.
Nearly seven million people in the UK belong to a trade union.
Unions have brought significant changes to society, including:
• a national minimum wage;
• the abolition of child labour;
• improved worker safety;
• improving living standards by reducing the number of hours in the working week and encouraging a healthy work/ life balance;
• improved parental leave;
• equality legislation;
• better protection of migrant workers and a reduction in exploitation;
• minimum holiday and sickness entitlements.
