Horses can be attended to in the same time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating injured jockeys. The second vet follows the action from the stands and coordinates the required response to any incidents In addition, throughout the meeting a close check is kept on all horses, especially those returning after a race It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected around the horse It is designed to afford the vet and the patient some privacy Please do not assume the worst

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS

THE SOUTHWELL RACECOURSE EXECUTIVE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR SPONSORS AND WISH THEM AN ENJOYABLE AND PROSPEROUS DAY’S RACING.

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.

FAERIE CUTLASS left her previous efforts well behind upped to this trip in a first-time tongue strap at Worcester where she reeled Mrs Kinsella in close home A 3lb rise for that looks very fair indeed and, with the strong possibility of better to come, she is taken to get the better of the latter once again. Recent C&D scorer Malina Ocarina and Midnight Gold, who arguably posted her best effort yet at Fontwell last time, are others with claims
