IMPORTANT INFORMATION

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT HEREFORD

ABANDONMENT POLICY

In the event of racing being abandoned, the following rules apply:

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.

• Abandonment before completion of the 1st race – badge valid for the next race meeting or full refund • Abandonment prior to completion of the 3rd race – 50% refund • Abandonment thereafter – no refund No refunds will be made on the day of racing. All refunds should be claimed in writing within 14 days of the abandoned meeting. Please enclose your badge/s as proof of admission and send them to: Racecourse Office, Hereford Racecourse, Roman Road, Hereford HR4 9QU. Please PRINT your name clearly and send with the returned badges.

ADMISSION BADGES

Racegoers are politely requested to ensure their badges are worn and to be clearly visible at all times. If you have purchased an E-ticket, please ensure you have this with you at all times.

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.hereford-racecourse.co.uk.

BABY CHANGING FACILITIES

Baby changing facilities can be found in the main toilet block next to the raceday office to the left of the main entrance and in the Rusty Bridge Restaurant toilets. Please ask a member of staff for details of a private breast feeding area, if required.

DISABLED VISITORS

Forward parking is available for blue badge holders, stewards will direct you. For disabled visitors requiring a carer, the carer is admitted free of change. There is a disabled viewing area accessible through Rusty Bridge for wheelchair users, and disabled toilets on site.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Amateur photographers are only permitted to take photographs in the areas normally open to the public and should not encroach upon areas specifically designated for or used by professional photographers.

Hereford Racecourse employs safety stewards. In the event of an emergency which requires evacuation a public announcement will be made and the stewards will direct you to a safe area.

SAFETY

FEEDBACK

In the interests of public safety all visitors to the Racecourse should follow directions of the Safety Stewards on the Stands and the Raceday Staff throughout the racecourse.

Star Ratings Explained Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: Selected to win the race. Good chance of being placed. By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims

hope.

Unlikely to win but not totally without 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.

Better than ever in 2 starts this season, supported when third at Chepstow (2m) latest. High on the shortlist back up in trip (has form on soft ground). TFRHHHHI BHA104

TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful on the Flat. Justified support to land a Market Rasen juvenile in December. Ran to a similar level when no match for an improver on first start for Dan Skelton at Newton Abbot (17f) and can have his subsequent run overlooked. Likely type provided he settles for his 3lb claimer. TFRHHHHI BHA104

TIMEFORMVIEW Once-useful on the Flat. Made the most of a good opportunity to open his hurdles account at Newton Abbot (2 1/4m) on comeback in July. Some mitigation for a couple of lesser efforts recently (forced the pace at Stratford latest). Respected in calmer waters, though ideally wouldn’t want extreme ground. TFRHHHHI BHA98

Roisin Leech (3) Sophie Leech, Westbury-on-Severn

TIMEFORM VIEW Low-mileage 8-y-o. Confirmed the promise of his stable debut in hugely impressive style at Huntingdon (2 1/2m, good to firm) earlier this month, travelling strongly/winning easily in first-time tongue strap. Probably still ahead of the handicapper off 9lb higher, though untested on soft/heavy ground. TFRHHHHH BHA80

Billy Marshall (3) Barry Murphy, Caerfyrddin

TIMEFORM VIEW Quirky sort who didn’t get competitive in 7 starts over hurdles for Pat Phelan. Has given his running in a couple of low-grade handicaps on Flat recently. At least worth noting for each-way support on first start hurdling for present yard (2lb out of the handicap).

TIMEFORM VIEW Standout effort this season when 2 1/2-length second of 4 at Huntingdon (25f) in May. Doesn’t do anything quickly and more severe headgear/testing ground can presumably only benefit. TFRHHHII BHA93

David Bass Henry Daly, Ludlow Humphrey Butler Ltd S

TIMEFORM VIEW Ground-versatile maiden. Didn’t kick on after splitting a pair of next-time-out winners on reappearance in Market Rasen handicap hurdle last season. Now back hurdling on a tempting mark, and this could be the time to catch him following a break. TFRHHHHH BHA90

Ciaran Gethings Ian Chanin, Thorverton

TIMEFORM VIEW Point winner. Allowed the run of things when just edged out on handicap debut at Taunton (3m, good) in April. That remains a standout effort, though, not getting very far in first-time headgear (now removed) second time up this season. TFRHHHII BHA85

TIMEFORM VIEW All-or-nothing maiden who finished 8-length third in a C&D handicap (good to soft) on latest hurdle start in March. Now 7lb lower in the weights, stepping back up in trip (with cheekpieces refitted) following a laboured return over fences at Worcester (2 1/2m, soft). TFRHHHII BHA84 24

TIMEFORM VIEW Lightly-raced mare. Resumed progress back up in trip when off the mark under a good-value amateur at Newton Abbot (3 1/4m, good) last time. Still relatively unexposed as a stayer but contrasting conditions would be an unknown. TFRHHHHI BHA81 2025: NO CORRESPONDING RACE LAST YEAR DECLARED RUNNERS 8 Blinkers worn first time by No. 4.
