Horse & Jockey Welfare at Worcester

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.worcester-racecourse.co.uk.

COCO MADEMOISELLE shaped as though still in good form in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter and with this drop in trip in his favour, he’ll take plenty of stopping back in a novice. Secret Trix has to be the forecast pick.

GREAT BRITISH BONUS

The Great British Bonus (GBB) incentivises and rewards with breeding, buying and racing of British-bred fillies by paying out bonuses of up to £100,000 per filly And now with GBBPlus to further incentivise staying fillies and chasing mares, there are more reasons than ever to breed, buy and race British.

ICE IN THE VEINS, a stylish course bumper winner, found only a late error his undoing on his hurdling debut at Warwick in June and, open to plenty of improvement over this longer trip, he’s strongly fancied to make amends Glance of Glory made a pleasing start to his career under a hands-and-heels ride at Chepstow in May and is a likely improver upped in distance, with Sir Hobnob another to consider on his first start over hurdles having struck at the second time of asking in bumpers
