WELCOME & MEET THE TEAM

Welcome to Sedgefield Racecourse for our 14th January Race Day. Welcome back to Sedgefield to our first race meeting of 2022.

We are looking forward to a fantastic year of racing here at Sedgefield, we are thrilled you could join us today.

I am very sad to say this is my final welcome in a Sedgefield racecard, I have loved being here and will always hold a special place in my heart for this amazing little track. I will be watching on from Limerick in Ireland from Monday.

Today we have a cracking 8 race card as we have a division, the Cazoo Handicap Hurdle.

We have two Irish raiders today, both have runners in the 1st, John McConnell with Mahler Mission and Sean Doyle with The Deise Man. I would like to thank our sponsors this afternoon, thank you for returning to support us in what has been a crazy time for all.

Our next race meeting is on 30th Jan. Gates open 11am, 1st race 1pm.

As always, I wish you all the very best in picking a few winners and hope that you will continue to support the best little NH track in the UK! Emma White GENERAL MANAGER

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.

Runswick Days won The Santander In Memory of Robert Forster Handicap Steeple Chase at Sedgefield on Tuesday 11th November 2014.

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

ANNIES PRAYER has a bigger performance in him on this, just his second start in handicaps. The step up in trip not expected to be an issue, he looks the way to go. Fightfortheroses is a long-standing maiden but figures on a good mark back hurdling, with Three Castles another to consider.

The safety of horse and rider is of paramount importance to Sedgefield Racecourse. We have a team of highly qualified vets and doctors following the action at all times and a top of the range horse ambulance in attendance at every meeting. It is policy at this racecourse for screens to be erected when a horse requires veterinary treatment on the track. This is to offer some privacy and calm for both horse and vet and does not automatically imply that a fatality has occurred.

RACE SUMMARY

LIME DROP had plenty in hand again when scoring at Taunton 36 days ago and, despite going up a further 8lb, she’s an obvious choice to complete the four-timer in a race where the majority have a bit to prove. Fleeting Blue is a notable handicap debutante and Durragh still has few miles on the clock, so they’re the pick of the opposition.

RACE SUMMARY

ICEMAN DENNIS made a pleasing start when second at Newcastle on debut last month and probably won’t need to improve to open his account in what looks a weak race on paper.

Newcomers Ontherouge and Chase A Fortune both have reasonable pedigrees with this discipline in mind.
