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.

RACE STATS
LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): G L Moore (80 wins from 376 runners, 21%) runs FIFTY BALL TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): G L Moore (8 wins from 36 runners, 22%) runs FIFTY BALL WEIGHTWATCHER: FIFTY BALL won off a handicap mark of 127, his rating is now down 7lb to 120.
LONGEST TRAVELLER: ASTROMACHIA trained by Dr R Newland, Droitwich, 143 miles.
Quite a few to consider, with ASTROMACHIA just about the most persuasive option with his Flat form suggesting he can improve the return to this longer trip Mullinaree has struck up a good partnership with Bradley Harris here in recent weeks and he’s a threat, along with Mothill.

All horses must parade in the Parade Ring except by permission of the Stewards, but in all cases must pass through the Ring on the way to the Post
Commitment To Horse Welfare
We are committed to minimising risks, dealing quickly and humanely with injuries and maintaining the highest level of care At every meeting there are three specially qualified Equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action
A British Horseracing Authority Veterinary Officer is also in attendance working closely with the racecourse veterinary team. This is to ensure that any injury to a horse is recorded, so that it can be monitored when it returns to racing.
It is now a standard practice for screens to be erected around any horse receiving veterinary attention on the course This does not reflect the severity of an injury, but allows the vet some privacy in which to administer treatment and provides the horse with a calmer environment Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse.
To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website: www.fontwellpark.co.uk
