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.

WEIGHTWATCHER: FARASI LANE won off a handicap mark of 89, his rating is now down 9lb to 80. LONGEST TRAVELLER: OVIEDO trained by A Dunn, Wellington, 211 miles.
An interesting handicap to kick off the card. There was plenty to like about the way TRIBAL WISDOM overcame a pace bias over C&D last month, so he’s taken to account for the lightly-raced 3-y-o’s Bin Ajwad and Bella Perla, who are progressing well.
