HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT SOUTHWELL
Although alcohol is not permitted to be brought onto the Racecourse, and in some cases bags will be searched at the entrances, picnics are permitted on the lawn adjacent to the track itself but not in any other areas. You are requested not to take glass bottles and glasses outside of the bars, hospitality and restaurant areas.
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 high-specification 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.southwell-racecourse.co.uk.

Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: Selected to win the race. Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. Good chance of being placed. Can be given little or no chance. By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims.
O FFI CIA L B H A R AT I N GS E XPL AI N ED D 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.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): C Johnston (32 wins from 226 runners, 14%) runs LE GRAND ETOILE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): C Johnston (6 wins from 54 runners, 11%) runs LE GRAND ETOILE LONGEST TRAVELLER: COURAGE BEST trained by R Millman, Cullompton, 216 miles. RACE SUMMARY Cases can be made for any number of these but the most persuasive is for COURAGE BEST, who ran easily her best race when finishing runner-up at Brighton recently and Rod Millman’s filly can go one better on her all-weather debut. Casablanca Dream upped her game tackling her first nursery at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago, so she looks an obvious threat, with Thunda Struck and Kaito both warranting plenty of respect, too. 1-2-3: 1.COURAGE BEST (IRE) 2.CASABLANCA DREAM (IRE) 3.THUNDA STRUCK (IRE) KEY colours

RACE SUMMARY NOT THAT GUY built on his exploits as a juvenile and made light of an 11-month absence in the process when successful in a 12-runner Wolverhampton novice 23 days ago. That form is already working out well and from what looks a handy opening mark on handicap debut, he makes plenty of appeal with the step up to 7f looking likely to suit.
