Star Ratings Explained Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: 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.

RACE SUMMARY

CALL ME HARRY showed good speed when making a winning start at Musselburgh just before Christmas, going clear in good style off a steady pace, so should be suited by this test. He’s taken to defy a penalty at the main expense of the other penalised-winner Ri Na Farraige, who also displayed a decent turn of foot when beating Boot ‘n’ Shoe over C&D 2 weeks ago.

RACE SUMMARY

It could be worth chancing BEST PAL, who hasn’t shown much under Rules to this point, but he was successful between the flags in 2021 and it’s possible that he’ll be seen in a better light now upped in trip for this handicap debut with headgear applied. Goodtimes Badtimes did the job well at Ayr and is an obvious threat, while Freethinker and Holme Abbey are others to consider.

RACE SUMMARY

SOUNDS RUSSIAN has only had 6 career starts so it’s unlikely he’s reached his limit and he’s fancied to make light of a further 11lb rise and complete a hat-trick. The returning Marown is another chaser with potential and could be the one to give Ruth Jefferson’s charge most to think about.

RACE SUMMARY

ROLLERRULER has disappointed since making a winning debut for this yard at Hexham on return but is worth one more chance back down in class. Six One Nine has now dipped below his winning mark and wasn’t disgraced at Ayr last time, so rates the main threat ahead of Edmond Dantes, who may do better now chasing.

HORSE WELFARE Here at Newcastle Racecourse nothing matters more to us than looking after the horses that make us the North East’s Premier Racecourse. We do everything in our power to ensure that we provide a racing surface of the highest quality and we take every conceivable care to minimise the chances of horses incurring any injury whilst here.

Regrettably, as in any highly competitive sport, there are occasions when something goes wrong and horses have to be given the very best veterinary care.

There are three Veterinary Surgeons here today to ensure that should any horse need help they will be attended to within seconds of any incident occurring. Their first priority is to make a rapid diagnosis and to help them do this our groundstaff team will erect screens around any horse that needs attention. Once the diagnosis is made, one of our horse ambulances will attend the scene and will transport the horse back to the stables where further treatment and assessment can be undertaken.

Occasionally, it may be that the nature of the injury is such that a horse is unable to make a recovery.

If this is the case the Veterinary team may take the decision to put the horse down straight away. In these circumstances we should remember that the horse’s welfare comes first and that this option is kindest for the horse.
