Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race. HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HIIII Can be given little or no chance. HHHHI Good chance of being placed. HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
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.

HAPPY RETIREMENT GARY MOORE Veteran Sussex trainer Gary Moore announced his retirement last week. The 70-year-old began training in 1992 and has shared a licence with his son, Josh, since 2024. In all, Gary trained 320 winners at Fontwell Park, 29 of them in partnership with Josh. His most notable Fontwell winner came in the 2017 National Spirit Hurdle, when his middle son, Jamie, partnered Camping Ground to a 29-length victory. But Gary’s very first visit to the track gave him little indication that racing would become his life’s work. Aged just 12, he watched a horse take a fall and decided he never wanted to be a jockey. Fortunately, he changed his mind and began riding as an amateur as a teenager. One of the best horses he rode was Benny’s Boy, bought by his trainer father, Charlie, for just £600. Initially dismissed as “a useless nutcase”, he clearly had other ideas, going on to win three hurdle races and five chases at Fontwell despite battling bad legs.
National Spirit day in 1982 was particularly memorable for Gary as a jockey. His mount, Charjim, tried to duck out on the run-in after spotting the gate leading back to the paddock. Gary somehow managed to cling on, keeping his balance and a lead of a length and a half by the line. This was part of a treble for him and Charlie; it was the only treble of a riding career that comprised over 150 winners. Gary began training at Epsom and struck gold in only his second season with Karinga Bay, who won three German Group 3s and finished fourth in the Eclipse in between. His owner, Ken Higson, was a controversial character 14
THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES but a steadfast supporter of both Charlie and Gary, backing them with increasingly better-quality horses. In 1997, Gary took over the Ingleside stables close to Brighton racecourse from his father. It became a busy dual-purpose yard before he moved to larger premises at Cisswood Stables, near Horsham, in 2007. But it was over jumps where Gary really made his mark, winning nine National Hunt Grade 1s. The 2013/14 season was a red-letter one, with Sire De Grugy landing the Tingle Creek, Desert Orchid, Clarence House and Queen Mother Champion Chases. There were, inevitably, some painful days too. Few will forget Goshen’s final-flight unseating of Jamie Moore in the 2020 Triumph Hurdle, with victory seemingly at his mercy. There were far happier memories to come. On 27 December 2023, Gary saddled a remarkable treble in three big races at Kempton and Chepstow, courtesy of Salver, Editeur Du Gite and Nassalam, who stormed to a 34-length victory in the Welsh Grand National. Two final winners at Brighton last week brought Gary’s UK tally to 1,363 on the Flat and 1,295 over jumps – an extraordinary 2,658 winners in total, averaging 77 a year across 34 years. Now Jamie has joined Josh on the licence, and it seems only right that their first runners are at Fontwell today. From all of us at Fontwell, we hope they can get off the mark this afternoon. And to Gary: thank you for the memories, the winners and the stories along the way.

Raced closer to the pace than ideal (also a bit too keen) when fourth of 12 at Perth on final outing and remains with potential, though isn’t sure to be suited by the longer trip. TFRHHHII BHA118

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT FONTWELL PARK 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 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.

I LOVE YOU SIVOLA revived on first outing for Max Comley when scoring at Hereford last week and should cope with the return to a shorter trip, so he’s taken to follow up under a 7lb penalty.
