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.

Michael Slevin Novae Management Limited Br TIMEFORM VIEW Still capable of smart form over fences last season and made most of 2 good opportunities back over hurdles in May. This a lot harder but still the one to beat.
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:
HHHHH Selected to win the race.
HHHHI Good chance of being placed.
HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.
HIIII 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 nonhandicaps 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.

A cracking maiden chase to open the card. Jamie Snowden has his team in tremendous form so WENDIGO, who was runner-up in a Grade 1 novice hurdle last season, gets the nod to make a winning start over fences. Pic Roc is 0-6 over the larger obstacles but does have useful form and might provide the main threat ahead of Wade Out.

FRED &MERCY RIMELL
At1.35pm this afternoonWorcester Racecourse recognisesthe trainingachievementsofFredandMercyRimell.Fredwascrowned ChampionNational Hunt Trainer on five occasions spanning 25 years from his first title in 1951 to his fifth in 1976.
Amongst his many highlights as atrainer were his four winners of the GrandNational,namelyRagTradein1976,GayTripin1970,NicolausSilver in 1961 andESBin1956 who benefited from Devon Loch’s inexplicable collapse on the run-in. Moreover, an unprecedented fifth success looked likely when Andy Pandyled the field amerrydance inRed Rum’shistoric third win in 1977, only for him to become another victim of Becher’s Brook on the secondcircuit when clear of the field.AndyPandy was to bounce back at Sandown Park afew weeks later giving Fred his only success in the Whitbread Gold Cup.
Winners at the CheltenhamFestival were commonplace for Fred and two victoriesinthe Gold Cup with Woodland Venture in 1967 and Royal Frolic nine years later confirmed his place amongst the greats of National Hunt trainers. As well as the Gold Cup, the other two major races at the Festival have also headed his way with Comedy Of Errors winning the Champion Hurdle in 1973 and then regaining his title two years later and AnotherDolly who was awarded the Champion Chase in 1980. Another major training feat was to saddle three winners of the fiercely competitive Triumph Hurdle between 1969 and 1978.
In wasn’t just with staying chasers that Fred could weave his magicas his Mackeson Gold Cup record proves, having prepared the winner on four occasions. Remarkably those victories followed in consecutive years form 1968 to 1971 with Gay Trip taking home the prize on two of those occasions inbetween his Grand National victory in 1970. Indeed it was Gay Trip’s Aintree success that started off aplethora of two-and-ahalf milechasers attempting to win the Grand National and as not one of themhas succeededinthe following 29 years,itputs into perspective that training feat.
Gaye Brief was another Championshipwinner for the Rimell team when Fred’swife, Mercy, who took overher husband’slicence following his passing prepared him to power away with the 1983 Champion Hurdle.
Fittingly the quality of the winners adorningthe Roll of Honour for the Fred Rimell Memorial Chase is worthy of the great trainer’s name. Recent winners of this race include the 1999 Queen Mother Champion Chase winner, Call Equiname, the 1993 King George VI Chase winner, Barton Bank, the 1998 Tripleprint Gold Cup winner, Northern Starlight and the Grade IFeltham Novices’Chase winner of 1994,See More Indians.

WEIGHTWATCHER: SUN JOY won off a handicap mark of 107, his rating is now down 8lb to 99.
LONGEST TRAVELLER: BREAD AND BUTTER trained by C Woods, Crowborough, 182 miles.
PERTEMPS DIAMOND was much improved on his handicap debut for Olly Murphy when going in at Fontwell and can make light of an 8lb weights rise with few miles still on the clock. Plantaroma proved a reliable sort last term and could emerge as the chief threat on her seasonal return ahead of My Cullen and Icaque De L’Isle
