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

A fair hurdler in Ireland, ARLO shaped encouragingly on his stable debut when third at this C&D on his reappearance, so he is taken to leave his subsequent efforts over fences behind and open his account. Trailblazer stepped forward from his hurdles debut when runner-up at Kelso last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Paris Lights.

RACE SUMMARY A very shallow contest in which SCHMILSSON is preferred to interesting hurdles newcomer Reach For The Moon, Olly Murphy’s gelding is clearly inferior to his market rival on the Flat but having improved with each run over hurdles so far, he perhaps possesses a more solid profile to one who clearly hasn’t been the easiest to get to the track. Badlands Boy is a very modest pick for third.

RACE SUMMARY

Claims can be made for most here, including previous C&D winner YOU SAY NOTHING. He ran a cracker when runner-up at Chepstow over Christmas and, given some time to get over those exertions, it would come as no surprise to see him firmly in the mix with his yard boasting a particularly good record here. Easy Leicester winner Galice Macalo and Harel du Marais head up the dangers.

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT SEDGEFIELD RACECOURSE 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 highspecification 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. To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website: www.sedgefield-racecourse.co.uk

RACE SPONSORSHIP Have you thought about sponsoring a race for company promotion, a product launch, celebration, birthday or anniversary?

RACE SUMMARY

MIDNIGHT SHUFFLE was steadily progressive last season and perhaps still needed the run when third to a big improver at Doncaster 4 weeks ago, so she’s given the tentative vote.

Taunton scorer Sawpit Sienna is respected up 6lb, while Purple Gown’s Flat form provides hope for better still now handicapping and she also needs considering.
