Br TIMEFORMVIEWGalileo colt who was a wide-margin winner of a 10-runner maiden at the Curragh on debut and overcame the rise in class/greenness to follow up in 10f Group 3 there. Toughed it out well to maintain his unbeaten record in Gordon Stakes at Goodwood and extra distance promises to suit. Big shout.
TFRHHHHI BHA114
KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor Br
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.
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.
Allowance The weight concession the horse is given to compensate for its rider’s inexperience
Amateur (Rider) on racecards, their names are usually prefixed by Mr, Mrs, etc. to indicate their amateur license-holder status.
Apprentice A trainee Flat jockey connected to the stable of a licensed trainer. Apprentices have a weight allowance when they ride in races against professional jockeys and can compete for the annual Apprentice title, given to the winner of the most races during the season.
Bar Term used when describing bookmakers’ prices. e.g. ‘4-1 bar two’ means that you can obtain at least 4-1 about any horse except for the first two in betting.
Bit Metal part of the bridle that sits in a horse’s mouth. The reins are then attached to the bit and used by the jockey to control the horse
Blinkers A form of headgear worn by the horse, consisting of a hood with cups around the eyes They are used to limit a horse’s vision and reduce distractions, with the aim of making it concentrate.
Cheekpieces Strips of sheepskin that are attached to the side of a horse’s bridle They partially obscure a horse’s rear vision, with the aim of getting the horse to concentrate on racing.
Clerk of the Course Racecourse official responsible for the overall racecourse management, including the preparation of the racing surface.
Clerk of the Scales Racecourse official whose chief duty is to weigh the riders before and after a race to ensure proper weight is carried.
Colours Jacket (‘silks’) worn by jockey to identify a horse A horse runs in its owner’s colours which are registered with Weatherbys The colours to be worn by each jockey are shown on racecards.
Colt Male, ungelded horse, up to four years old
Conditions race A race in which horses are allotted extra weight according to factors including sex, age, whether they are a previous winner etc. This is a better-class race for horses just below Group or Listed level.
Connections The owner and trainer of a racehorse
Distance The length of a race
Dam Mother of a horse.
Draw A horse’s starting position in the stalls allotted in races on the Flat. Stall numbers are drawn at random by Weatherbys (except in a handful of top races that allow each horse’s connections, having been randomly selected, to choose the stall number for their horse). A horse with a seemingly advantageous draw is said to be “well drawn”. Stalls are used for Flat racing only.
Filly Female horse four-years-old or younger.
Foal Horse of either sex from its birth until 1 January the following year
Furlong 220 yards (one eighth of a mile). The numbered posts on British racecourses count the furlongs back from the winning post.
Gelding Castrated horse
Going Description of the course conditions under foot.
Hand Unit of four inches in which a horse’s height is measured at the shoulder
Judge Official responsible for declaring the finishing order and distances between horses.
Juvenile Two-year old horse
Maiden Horse which has not yet won a race
Handicap A race where each horse is allotted a different weight to carry, according to the official handicap ratings determined by the BHA Handicappers. The theory is that all horses run on a fair and equal basis - the ‘perfect’ handicap being one where all the runners finish in a dead-heat.
Mare Female horse aged five years old or above
Middle Distances On the Flat, races beyond a mile and up to 1m6f are the middle distances. A middledistance horse is one that runs mainly over such distances or is regarded as being suitable for those distances.
Penalty Weight added to the handicap weight of a horse which has won since the weights were published.
Photo Finish Electronic photo device which determines minimal distance in a close finish.
Racecard The runners and riders of the day within this raceday programme.
Rating A measure of the ability of a horse on a scale starting at zero and going into three figures Flat and Jump racing use different scales; the highest-rated Flat horse is usually in the 130s and the top-rated jumper in the 180s.
Schooled Trained to jump.
Sire Father of a horse.
Sprint races Flat races run over a distance of five or six furlongs.
Stewards Enquiry Enquiry by a panel of men and women responsible for seeing rules are adhered to into a race’s running.
Tongue Tie Strip of material tied around a horse’s tongue and lower jaw to keep it from swallowing its tongue, which can clog its air passage. A horse wearing a tongue tie is denoted on a racecard by a small t next to the horse’s weight (t1 indicates that the horse is wearing a tongue tie in a race for the first time)
Under Starter’s Orders Occurs when the race is about to start
Visor Similar to blinkers, but with a slit in each eye cup to allow some lateral vision. A horse wearing a visor is denoted on a racecard by a small v next to the horse’s weight (v1 indicates that the horse is wearing a visor in a race for the first time).
Weighing In/Out Each jockey (wearing his racing kit and carrying his saddle) must stand on official weighing scales before and after the race, so that the Clerk of the Scales can check that the jockey is carrying the correct weight allotted to his horse If a jockey is above the allotted weight before the race, his horse can still compete but must carry overweight. When the weights carried by the winner and placed horses have been verified after the race, there will be an announcement that they have ‘weighed in’. This confirms the race result and at this point bookmakers will pay out on successful bets.
Yearling Horse of either sex from 1 January to 31 December of the year following its birth.

WHAT’S YOUR JOB TITLE, AND WHAT DOES YOUR ROLE INVOLVE AT THE RACECOURSE?
AS A Tipster’ I help enhance the raceday experience for sponsors and hospitality guests, visiting them before racing to share my tips. I also take part in the Punters Panel to give advice and insights to all racegoers.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PART OF THE DONCASTER RACECOURSE TEAM?
Over 20 years, I had a full head of hair when I started.
WHAT DID YOU DO FOR WORK BEFORE JOINING DONCASTER RACECOURSE?
Trained as a Lawyer, then went into Financial Services before starting my own companies over 30 years ago. I work with racecourses, providing the above services, and provide a full range of commercial services for trainers and owners around the country.
HOW MANY ST LEGER FESTIVALS HAVE YOU BEEN INVOLVED IN?
Around 25 in total, and I’ve seen some great performances!
WHICH DAY OF THE ST LEGER FESTIVAL IS YOUR FAVOURITE, AND WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL FOR YOU?
Every day is special, but the Betfred St Leger Stakes is the highlight. The final classic of the season!
WHAT’S A TYPICAL ST LEGER WEEK LIKE FOR YOU?
Hectic! I’m on course from the preview dinner on Wednesday through each raceday. With my team alongside, we cover the guest schedule and keep everything running – and yes, I do a lot of talking!
DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE ST LEGER MEMORY OR A STORY YOU LOVE TO TELL?
Desert Hero’s Royal win in 2023 created an incredible atmosphere, and my role was to look after Frankie Dettori on his final Classic ride in the UK.
WHAT’S THE BEST THING ABOUT WORKING AT DONCASTER RACECOURSE?
Every day is different, but it’s rewarding knowing guests value the service I’m a big fan of the Tote ‘Lucky Pick’ wallets, which open up exotic bets with selections already made One Doncaster guest this year even turned a £20 wallet into over £6,000!
WHICH PART OF THE RACECOURSE IS YOUR PERSONAL FAVOURITE?
Anywhere there’s a big winner – it’s so satisfying. I love joining winning owners in the celebrations, and helping sponsors choose Best Turned Out.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE COLOUR WHEN IT COMES TO JOCKEYS’ SILKS?
I’m more focused on the horse than the silks. Having owned winners over the years, my favourite would be The Golden Anorak partnership colours, mainly blue
WHAT’S YOUR ALL-TIME FAVOURITE FILM?
Probably The Italian Job – fun fact, the iconic sewer tunnel scene was filmed in the Midlands.

At every race meeting at Doncaster our top priority is the safety and welfare of both horse and rider We have a dedicated team of highly qualified vets and doctors following the action at all times and a horse ambulance in attendance at every meeting.
Use of Screens
It is our policy to erect green screens around any horse requiring veterinary attention. This does NOT reflect the severity of any injury, but does help to provide a calm environment, in which the vet is better able to treat the horse.
Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse!

LONGEST TRAVELLER: EL MATADOR trained by R Beckett, Kimpton Down, 212 miles.
This is wide open but it could be worth siding with Charlie Appleby’s improving INDIAN SPRINGS to continue on the up on his handicap bow and go 3-4 at the chief expense of the handilyweighted Back In Black who should be all the sharper for his recent Goodwood fifth after an absence. Rogue Diplomat, Andesite, Morte Point and Pietro all need factoring into this cracking handicap too.

POCKLINGTON has gone with plenty of promise on all his three starts this season and can gain a deserved victory to thwart last year’s winner Baldomero who is fancied to bounce back from a lesser showing at Haydock when getting upset in the stalls. Purest Time also commands plenty of respect granted this stiffer test of stamina, while Royal Velvet, Commanche Falls and Purosangue can all have a say too in this cracking sprint.

Now in its 16th year, the annual Leger Legends Race is the only British charity race for former professional jockeys.
The race raises money for both the National Horseracing College and the Injured Jockeys Fund Jack Berry House. This year’s Leger Legends Race will be sponsored by IPM Group.
Some of the best former jockeys will be taking part in this year’s contest. The line-up for 2025 includes: Adam Kirby, Sammy Jo Bell, Franny Norton, Jimmy Quinn and Alan Johns.
Previous winners include horse racing industry legends AP McCoy, Joseph O’Brien, Brian Harding, and Julie Krone. The race is a great opportunity to see some retired jockeys back in the saddle
ONE MILE, STRAIGHT COURSE (8F) FOR THREE YRS OLD AND UPWARDS
Total prize fund £22000 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £9084, 2nd £4543, 3rd £2270, 4th £1135, 5th £568. (Penalty Value £11514.80) SS

The Adam Kirby-ridden MOONJID gets the nod to build on his promising first outing for the Mick Appleby stable at Carlisle earlier in the month. Beaming Light has had a good year and is second choice ahead of Finn Ironside. The fact Richard Fahey and Sammy Jo Bell have combined to this win 3 times since 2019 also earns Quiet Resolve a place on the shortlist

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ARNHEM trained by J Goldie, Glasgow, 245 miles.
Highly competitive but ARNHEM still looks well-treated on old form, having made a winning start for Jim Goldie (who excels with this type) at Haydock 9 days ago Marching Mac has shaped promisingly in recent starts and would be interesting if the rain arrives, while Roach Power has mixed it in higher grades this season and arrives in top form. Of the rest, Trilby is well-handicapped if a tongue strap has the desired effect, while there could still be more to come from 3-y-o sprinter Acrisius
