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.

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.

Star Ratings Explained
Each horse is given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race HHHHI Good chance of being placed HHHII By no means without a chance
HHIII At least one or two hold stronger claims HIIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope IIIII 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-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.

FIRST RACE 4.30 SEVEN FURLONGS ABOUT 36 YARDS [7F ABT 36YDS] FOR THREE YRS OLD AND UPWARDS
THE AWC SEASON 14 HAS BEGUN HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) (DIV I) Total prize fund £6000 Owners Prize Money. 1st £2477, 2nd £1239, 3rd £619, 4th £310, 5th £155. (Penalty Value £3140.40) 7 Eliminated Under Rules (I)9 and (I)10. SS
RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): James Owen (55 wins from 284 runners, 19%) runs MINI MAC TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): James Owen (13 wins from 56 runners, 23%) runs MINI MAC WEIGHTWATCHER: KING DAVID won off a handicap mark of 68, his rating is now down 15lb to 53. LONGEST TRAVELLER: RAMON DI LORIA trained by Ewan Whillans, Hawick, 230 miles. RACE SUMMARY
MINI MAC has a less-than-ideal stall to overcome but James Owen’s 4-y-o probably has enough in hand under a double penalty to complete the hat-trick. He gets the vote over Rovinia, who has plenty of decent efforts to his name this season and quickly returns to his optimum trip. Course specialist Bungle Bay rounds off the shortlist. 1-2-3: 1.MINI MAC (IRE) 2.ROVINIA 3.BUNGLE BAY (IRE) KEY colours

LONGEST TRAVELLERS: SONBELIEVABLE trained by J Parr & OPPENHEIMER trained by J Owen - both Newmarket, 125 miles. RACE SUMMARY
OPPENHEIMER became an umpteenth winning stable-switcher for this yard at Southwell on Saturday and despite a tricky-looking stall, he’s fancied to follow up under a 6lb penalty at the expense of Sonbelievable, who has made a solid start to life in handicaps. Barry The Worm is a different beast around here, so he’s another expected to be in the shake-up. 1-2-3: 1.OPPENHEIMER (IRE) 2.SONBELIEVABLE 3.BARRY THE WORM KEY colours
