Lingfield Park Racecard - Friday 7th April by Arena Racing Company

PROUDLY SPONSORED BY Official Raceday Programme & Form Guide | £3.50

WELCOME TO LINGFIELD PARK

Where today we are proud to host the All-Weather Championships

Vase Day, in its second year, on this Good Friday.

Lingfield Park remains integral to the All-Weather Championships; hosting 35+ All-Weather fixtures including eight Fast-Track Qualifiers during Season 10 and showcasing the stars of the track who have remained on home soil over the winter months

The programme of the All-Weather Vase meeting will closely mirror that of Finals Day, which is now hosted at Newcastle, with six handicap races at either Class 3 or 4 joining the popular race over a mile-and-a-half for apprentice jockeys, which has been a feature of the Good Friday card for a number of years. All of the equine stars you will see here today have had to qualify by running three times on an all-weather surface in Great Britain, Ireland or France and once in Dubai, or in Saudi Arabia.

Many of you have supported this Championship series from day one – and for that we extend our grateful thanks Thanks must also go to the BHA for its continued support of both the Championship –and racing on Good Friday, as well as our sponsors, talkSPORT, BetUK and SpreadEx Sports as our official partners

As well as the Thoroughbred action on the track, we will be giving you a glimpse of the future stars of racing as we welcome the AWC Pony Racing Series Final, taking place at 12:30 over 1 mile This winter series was set up with the Pony Racing Authority and ARC, which allows young teenagers to compete on the centre stage and has included races at Wolverhampton, Southwell and Newcastle this year.

We have a variety of entertainment on offer around the course throughout the afternoon. Please enjoy the relaxed sounds upon entrance and throughout the afternoon from our roaming band Fully Funktional and two lively sets from our local band - Parallel Sky – in the courtyard. For our younger fans, there is plenty to keep you occupied from free pony rides, facepainting, funfair rides and an Easter Egg hunt Thank you once again for joining us and I wish you all a ‘Great Friday’.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Lingfield during the spring and summer, whether at our Derby Trial in May or at one of our exciting new Lingfield Summer Sounds fixtures over Saturday evenings throughout June and August, offering an action-packed afternoon of racing followed by live music on the lawn from a variety of artists and tribute acts.

TIMEFORM VIEW Has done well on the AW this winter, winning 2 of his 4 starts and runner-up to Utmost in Winter Derby Trial last time, not ideally placed. Looks competitive on form.

RATINGS EXPLAINED

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

Unlikely to win but not totally without hope

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).

WHAT DOES IT MEAN? COLOUR

Grey (Gr) - light to steel

Bay (B) – from light brown through to dark brown with black mane/tail

Chestnut (Ch) – reddish with a mane/tail to match

Roan (Ro) – white hairs mixed with another colour

Brown (Br) – darker than a bay with a black mane/tail

Black (Bl) – black and rare

White (Wh) – rare with pink skin.

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.

WHERE TO BET

There are a variety of places to bet at the course; The Tote has selling points throughout the racecourse – easily identiﬁed by the Tote Betting or Totepool signs

CHAMPION APPRENTICE JOCKEY

Billy Loughnane has dominated the All-Weather Champion Apprentice title, ﬁnishing well clear of his closest challengers Taylor Fisher and Ryan Sexton.

The 17-year-old notched his ﬁrst career success at Wolverhampton in November and has not looked back, with his tally

including a remarkable 23 winners in January alone.

Such a spell prompted Loughnane to take a break from the saddle in February to protect his claim for the turf season, during which time he travelled to America to ride track work.

Race Summary:

Plenty hold claims in a competitive opener and it may pay to side with VEGA SICILIA. Runner-up on each of his last 3 starts in handicaps, he pulled a long way clear with a thriving sort on the latest occasion at Newcastle 5 weeks ago and the application of ﬁrst-time cheekpieces may just put an extra edge on him here. Irish-raider Satono Chevalier, low-mileage 4-y-o Muzaffar and Idee Fixee head up the dangers, whilst Dream Harder isn’t underestimated either. 1-2-3:

Race Summary:

MR ESCOBAR has improved with each outing in maidens in Ireland, getting off the mark at the third attempt at Dundalk in January. Stepping up in trip on handicap debut, he’s joined a leading NH outﬁt and it would be no surprise to see him make a bold bid with Ryan Moore in the plate. Carzola is going the right way and she’s feared along with Ehteyat. Halic may also have more to offer now his stamina is drawn out further

Race Summary:

Lots with chances. WALKING ON CLOUDS is enjoying an excellent 2023 and can garner a fourth success on the back of his very good second here last time out. Epsom Faithfull will beneﬁt from stepping back up in trip and is next on the list, although recent Chelmsford City scorer Shalaa Asker and in-form pair Laheg and Adeb need factoring in too.
