WELCOME Welcome to our 15th Annual Beer Festival Race Meeting in conjunction with Carlsberg Britvic Brewing Company, and a particularly warm welcome to our sponsors today, Carlsberg Britvic, QuinnBet, Eaton Hall Shooting Ground, Karina Muggleton & EBF. I would like to start by paying tribute to a true gentleman of the weighing room, Tom O’Brien who has sadly passed away aged just 39 from cancer. Riding over 1000 winners including two Coral Welsh Grand Nationals, after retirement he stayed within the sport working as a steward with the BHA. Today we remember Tom and send our condolences to his wife Hayley and children Archie and Toby. Today’s Beer Festival is more popular than ever, in collaboration with Carlsberg Britvic, we are offering a great selection of real ales and beers for you to choose from, head down to the “Beer Festival Marquee” at the end of the Grandstand to find the full selection on offer. The High Notes will be here to entertain you after the racing, playing a set for an hour after racing in the Premier Bar. All our racegoers will be able to access this area after the last race. Christmas is just around the corner, if you are still looking to celebrate with work colleagues, friends and family we have limited availability on select Christmas parties in December or why not try something a bit different with our Christmas at the Darts on Friday 27th November.

STAR RATINGS EXPLAINED Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: ##### 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.
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED 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 handicap 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.

TOM O’BRIEN 1986 - 2026
Today we are remembering jockey Tom O’Brien who sadly died earlier this week, aged just 39, from cancer. Tom was a much-admired and respected mainstay of the Jump jockeys’ changing room over nineteen seasons riding more than 1000 winners. Champion Amateur and Champion Conditional, Tom then turned Professional with a huge portfolio of winners including two Coral Welsh Grand Nationals. Following his retirement from the saddle in 2023 he became a BHA Stipendiary Steward. We send our condolences and very best wishes to his wife Hayley and their two children Archie and Toby, to the rest of Tom’s family and his many friends. The Jump racing community will always remember Tom.

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT UTTOXETER 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 https://www.uttoxeter-racecourse.co.uk/

RACE SUMMARY
Bumper/hurdles winner SPANISH DARLING didn’t look out of place when fourth pitched into a Grade 2 on just his second hurdles start at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago, within a length of the lead prior to fluffing his lines at the last. Firmly remaining with his best days ahead of him, he’s impossible to oppose returned to much calmer waters. Bumper winner Port Isaac and newcomers Made For Mary and Montevallo may emerge next best.

RACE SUMMARY
MALINA ROAD laid down solid foundations in a trio of bumper starts last winter, including success at listed level and with this increase in trip promising to suit now hurdling, she shades preference over Boombox who went agonisingly close to making a successful stable/hurdling debut at Worcester recently. Bumper scorer Kentford Legacy hails from a yard in form and also commands a second look, as does Port And Brandy.

The mightily impressive OLD PARK STAR looks the one to beat if reproducing the pick of his hurdling form, with the potential for even better to come over fences. Kabral Du Mathan’s only defeat since joining Dan Skelton came when a blatant non-stayer in the Stayers’ Hurdle.

RACE SUMMARY
CHAMBERS is well treated on his Flat form and having won his latest start in that sphere, he’s fancied to make a successful handicap hurdle debut. Arcon didn’t immediately improve on his handicap bow but looks capable of making an impact in this sort of company, whilst Prince Phil can improve handicapping.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): J Snowden (16 wins from 93 runners, 17%) runs LADY TADITA TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): J Snowden (11 wins from 27 runners, 41%) runs LADY TADITA LONGEST TRAVELLER: LAU AND SHAZ trained by K Woollacott, Crewkerne, 184 miles.
RACE SUMMARY
A trappy mares handicap which can go the way of the experienced IRISH CHORUS, who did well in this sphere last season and was unable to recover from a late blunder on her recent comeback. Lau And Shaz had a positive time of things over hurdles last campaign and should prove at least as good over fences, whilst Lady Tadita should also benefit from her initial experience chasing.

RACE SUMMARY
JIMMY GATZ is well worth another chance to build on his strong debut form having probably found testing conditions against him at Ffos Las when last seen (Flat bred). Bateleur went down fighting on his Rules debut at Sedgefield last month and his excellent attitude is sure to stand him in good stead again, while the selection’s stablemate, Hannah’s Kitchen, is the pick of the newcomers before market clues.
