Welcome to Worcester Racecourse for a thrilling evening of jump racing.
We are proud to welcome the return of Jennings Bet who are our headline sponsors for tonight.
On the track we have a total of 68 horses declared, across 7 races. A warm welcome to the 4 Irish horses and multiple long distant travellers; it makes us very proud that we are supported by so many trainers here at every fixture. As a team we would like to wish each and everyone today, the very best of luck and hope you have a very enjoyable evening with us.
Today we are also hosting the Richard Davies Award at 18:40, of which is a long standing award here at Worcester Racecourse. We welcome all family members and friends in memory of the late Richard Davies, who was taken too soon. The final score board can be found within this racecard.
Now that our Season is fully up and running, we are looking ahead to our next upcoming fixtures and events. Follow us on our social media platforms for an update on what is going on, but we really cannot wait for our brand new Friday night fixture on 5th September, which is Race Back to the 80s; which will be a fantastic evening.
Off the track, the Balloon Festival is back here next weekend (20th – 21st June), with tickets still available to buy. A great day out for all the family.
This summer we have some fantastic opportunities to really make your day with us extra special. We have race sponsorship available, of which involves a VIP experience to gain exclusive access to the parade ring, race card and on track advertising, and celebrations with all winning connections. Not only this, we are about to launch a Summer Special Hospitality offer for just £99pp. More of both these opportunities can be found online, or within this racecard.
For any enquiries, or feedback, please do not hesitate to get in touch with one of our team members via email at info@worcester-racecourse.co.uk
Thank you all for supporting Worcester Racecourse and have a great evening with us and good luck!
We hope to see you again for our next race day on Wednesday 19th June for a great afternoon of racing.
Michael Thomas - General Manager

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.
Please help us keep Worcester Racecourse tidy by disposing of your litter and old betting slips in the bins provided.
There is a No Smoking policy at Worcester Racecourse. Would racegoers please note that smoking is not allowed in any enclosed or substantially enclosed areas - this includes e-cigarettes. Please respect the No Smoking signs.
Flash photography is not permitted at any time. Press and commercial photographers may pre-arrange the necessary permission with the Racecourse Office at least 7 days before the race meeting. Press and official photographers’ attention is drawn to the current BHA Instructions. Amateur photographers are only permitted to take photographs in the areas normally open to the public and should not encroach upon areas specifically designated for or used by professional photographers. Professional filming and photography takes place here at Worcester Racecourse for various publications and broadcasting, and racegoers (including families) consent to being filmed, photographed and otherwise recorded by Worcester Racecourse or any third party authorised by Worcester Racecourse, and therefore you grant Worcester Racecourse and any third party authorised by Worcester Racecourse the right to broadcast, publish, licence and use any photographs, film, recordings or images of you without payment or other compensation in any promotional literature produced by Worcester Racecourse.

It is an offence to be drunk at a sporting event and for this reason people clearly under the influence of alcohol will be asked to leave the racecourse. Racegoers are requested to be particularly aware of their personal safety in all areas where they come into close contact with the horses, such as the parade ring and the horse walks.
Racegoers are requested not to stand in the marked gangways on the Grandstand Steppings as this will compromise safety

KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor Br
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.
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.

Irish challenger PORTETTA possesses much the best form on show so is taken to build on her promising Tipperary debut second and open her account. Both Soul Limbo and The Great Escape have better days ahead of them too though so can both go well, while Olly Murphy’s newcomer Wester Clouds can’t be discounted, especially if the market vibes are positive.
