Evacuation Procedures

If an incident occurs which is beyond our control, it is important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency. As part of our Safety management, we have employed professionally trained and experienced stewards and you will see them at various points throughout the racecourse. In the event of a situation, which requires partial or full evacuation of the stands or racecourse, announcements will be broadcast and stewards will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your immediate belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and calmly with the guidance of the stewards

The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area Should it be necessary to evacuate the course itself, there will be two main options; firstly to return to your vehicles if safe to do so and leave via the main entrance

Secondly, should it not be safe to return to your vehicles, you will be requested to leave via emergency evacuation gates, onto the racecourse itself, where you will receive further instructions. It may give you peace of mind if you pre plan and agree a meeting place, just in case you become separated from your party. The above is precautionary only and we trust that the procedures will never be required. However, in the event of an emergency, remember;

• Take your belongings with you.

• Under the directions of the stewards, proceed quickly and calmly to the safe area

Glasses & Bottles

Broken glasses and bottles are dangerous. In the interests of safety and the comfort of others please do not carry drinks or food on to the steppings of the stand, or the areas adjacent to the parade ring or unsaddling enclosure. Our catering team can transfer your drink into a plastic glass if you wish

Horse & Jockey Welfare at Ffos Las

Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface 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 highspecification 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. To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website www.ffoslasracecourse.com

KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor Star Ratings Explained

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: S Br

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.

THANK YOU

Good afternoon all……..

And a warm welcome to this afternoons spring racing at Ffos Las Racecourse.

It was such a great feeling to have thousands of spectators in enjoying the day’s racing on our “Superheroes and Princesses Family Fun Day” on Easter Sunday after what has proved to be a challenging start to the year for West Wales’s local racecourse

As we all know the weather has been relentless with very heavy rain fall since mid-December, and I have to thank our Clerk of the Course Tracey O’Meara, Head Groundsman Martyn David and our superb grounds team for all the hard work they have put in over the last couple of months They have shown their commitment and hard work , over and above the call of duty to get our track ready for racing

On the racing front , our Welsh Jockeys and trainers continue to lead the way across the UK, with the brave Kitty’s Light who ran a stormer in the Grand National for the Christian Williams yard As we all watched while holding our breath, at two fences from home, the dream was very much alive with Kitty’s Light travelling well under Jack Tudor. He was still in contention jumping the last fence, but could not keep tabs with his Irish counterparts, fading to finish a gallant fifth and best of the British runners.

There was also a first Aintree Festival success for Connor Brace, aboard the Fergal O’Brien trained Horaces Pearl in the Grade 2 bumper

It was great to see Sean Bowen riding his 145th winner of the season aboard Fiston De Becon on the weekend, as his battle with Harry Cobden for the Jockeys Championship heads towards a very exciting climax

I am very proud to welcome the Team Wales Commonwealth Games Business Club to Ffos Las today. This amazing organisation which puts Wales on the sporting map on a global scale will be joining us in hospitality for the race day , and who knows you may see some very proud medallists in the Parade ring during the course of the day.

Finally I have to say a big thank you to you, our racegoers for staying by us and supporting us, and here’s to a great rest of the year at Ffos Las Racecourse

FOLLOWANGO looked promising before a respectable handicap debut at Chepstow last time and she looks feasibly treated based on her bumper form, so she gets the nod over last-time-out C&D winner Wonderweasle. Hermes Le Gris is a potential player if back on track.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: THE LION DANCER trained by A Hales, Edgecote, 202 miles.

A lesser effort over hurdles last time needs forgiving but FRANKIE FAULKNER has dipped to a good mark judged on the form he was showing over fences in the autumn and might prove the answer for last year’s winning yard. Wide to West has been runner-up the last twice and should figure promisingly again, while Grizzly James could also have a say if bouncing back from his latest Hereford no show.
