OFFICI A L BH A R ATINGS E X PL AINED

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 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

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.

Allen DavisFormer National Hunt Jockey

The son of a Rufford colliery miner, Allen Davis spent his entire career in racing working for farmer Walter Buxton, joining him at Coneygree Farm, Hoveringham, Nottinghamshire aged 17 in 1948. He rode his first winner, aged 19 for Buxton on the 6 year old mare Alciston at Market Rasen on Easter Monday, 10th April 1950, by when Davis was Buxton’s head lad (in the words of the Nottingham Evening Post ‘Alan Davis must be the youngest head lad in charge of a racing stable in Britain’). Buxton moved to Lowdham Lodge, Lowdham, Nottinghamshire in 1952. Allen Davis rode a total of 16 winners from 1950 to 1966. 8 of these winners were on a remarkable gelding, ‘Cheera’ who won 10 hurdle races, racing until he was 16 in 1971.

‘Cheera’ (nicknamed ‘Herbert’ in the yard) was bred by Lord Willoughby de Broke, owned by Mr. L E Rowson and trained by Walter Buxton. Davis first won on him at Wolverhampton in February 1960 and the last winner he rode was on ‘Cheera’ at Southwell in March 1966. His last ride was at Doncaster in January 1977, one month short of his 46th birthday.

Allen Davis also rode for permit trainer Frank Coton whose yard was nearby at Epperstone, Nottinghamshire. Davis finally left Walter Buxton in 1978 after working for him for 30 years.

Allen Richard Davis was born on 25th February 1931 and died peacefully on 16th January 2023.

In a light 2022/23 campaign, JOLY MAKER has recorded two wins at Stratford from 3 starts and this strong-travelling type can score again on his second run back following a 7-month absence.
