HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT SOUTHWELL

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

KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor Star Ratings Explained

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: S Br

Selected to win the race

Good chance of being placed

By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims.

Unlikely to win but not totally without hope Can be given little or no chance.

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.

It could be worth chancing the veteran JIMMY THE DIGGER, who returned to form last time and a reproduction of his fine second in a competitive Cheltenham amateurs’handicap during the autumn would give him every chance. Though not a habitual front-runner, it’s a role that he has performed in the past and he could prove hard to peg back round here, if allowed to stride on. Chase debutant Bective Abbey could be the main danger

DELGANY BOBBY BLUE shaped well on more than one occasion over hurdles in 2023/24 and, with fitness unlikely to be an issue given the stable he represents, he makes a fair amount of appeal with the drop back to 2 1/2m looking in his favour Built By Rossies has shown a fair level of form in Ireland and is an interesting recruit for her new yard having won a point earlier in the year. DonVirginia ought to make his presence felt once more.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: AAZZA trained by Paul Robson, Alnwick, 196 miles.

A number of these arrive with a question mark against them and the thriving AAZZA is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of a very good recent Bangor second The reliable Champetre is feared most if, as expected, building on his Ffos Las fourth after an absence, while Zarhanya, Rubies Or Gold and Fantomas need factoring in too.
