WELCOME TO AYR

WELCOME to Ayr Racecourse for our Scottish Sun Ladies Night and what promises to be an exciting evening with lots happening on and off the track to hopefully ensure everyone has an enjoyable and unforgettable night.

I’d like to welcome back the Scottish Sun as sponsors this evening. We have a long association with the Scottish Sun dating back to 2007 and for many years they sponsored our June Saturday and they also supported our last pre-covid Ladies Night in 2019.

In these difficult times sponsors are vitally important and I’d like to thank each and everyone one of the companies who are sponsoring tonight – the Scottish Sun, Tennent’s Lager, Made Brave, EBF, Specsavers and Midburn Construction Ltd. The racing action begins this evening with the Tennent’s Lager Lady Riders’ Handicap where all the horses ridden by professional or amateur female jockeys and this race has become an integral part of Ladies Night at Ayr Racecourse.

We have six more races on the card with the final contest the Midburn Construction Ltd Classified Stakes at 8.45pm.

After that race we have some quality entertainment with Drag Queen DJ and performer Crystal taking to the stage in the PR Suite followed by Radio One DJ Jordan North who will take to the decks.

Our fabulous Style Awards have some amazing prizes to be won in the various categories – Most Stylish Lady, Most Stylish Gent, Most Stylish Hat and Most Stylish Couple.

My thanks to everyone who has provided prizes for these awards. Details of all the prizes and how you can enter can be found in this racecard on pages 8 and 9 and I’d also like to thank the team here at Ayr Racecourse for their hard work and dedication which helps make nights like tonight that bit more special.

Last but not least thank you for your attendance tonight and I hope you all have an enjoyable evening.

David Brown Managing Director, Ayr Racecourse

FORM RATINGS Included in the form guide below each horse is a form rating, calculated from the horse’s previous performances, taking into account a number of variables such as finishing position, distance won/beaten by, horses beaten/beaten by, weight carried, race time (compared with the standard time), going allowance, number of days since that performance, etc.

Horses which have not raced will not have a form rating, as may some horses which have raced but not recently in Britain or their performances to-date have not yet merited a rating.

Brando was the winner of the Ayr Gold Cup on Saturday, 17th September, 2016.

VIVA VOCE was a cosy winner over 7f at Redcar last time and this looks like a nice opportunity to follow up that success with another victory. David and Nicola Barron’s five-year-old has been raised 3lb for that one-length success and it may not be enough to stop him. Iron Sheriff is a danger following a good second over 1m at Newcastle last time, while Chinese Spirit will appreciate the return to this track.

ELZAAL has been knocking on the door of late and kept on well to get second over this trip at Pontefract on his latest outing. He has to be respected while in this sort of form and, given he is only 3lb higher than his last winning mark, should surely have a say in proceedings. Eternal Halo, third here on Monday, shades the danger vote ahead of recent C&D winner Wrecked It Ralph.

This can go the way of AYR POET, who relished the return to this trip when winning here on Monday. Jim Goldie’s charge is turned out quickly under a 4lb penalty but that looks manageable, and with similar conditions likely, the seven-year-old can follow up. Highwaygrey finished a good third over C&D on his latest outing and commands the utmost respect, along with Goodwood Glen, who ought to appreciate a drop in class.

GEORGE’S 30 YEARS AT AYR RACECOURSE

This is a very special night for Ayr Racecourse Bars Manager George Tait who celebrates 30 years working at the course this year.

George has literally served hundreds of thousands of racegoers over the years and now manages the Bars team who cater for up to 18,000 people at the Coral Scottish Grand National. He is also Manager of the popular Ayr Racecourse Sunday Market.

Asked to name the year he started working at the course he said: “It was definitely 1992 because Lochsong won the Ayr Gold Cup that year and he went on to become European Horse Of The Year in 1993.”

His sheer love of racing first attracted him to apply for a job on race days at the track and he became a porter and part of that role was to work in the bars during racing.

George said: “My main hobby is racing so over the years I associate winners of big races at Ayr with special things in my life. For example Our Jonathan won the Ayr Gold Cup in 2011 and my son’s name is Jonathan so that was a special day.”

His knowledge of racing is only surpassed by his expertise at managing the Bars at Scotland’s premier racecourse.

He added: “Things have changed so much over the years as the course has gone from a Members’ Club to privately owned but I still enjoy every minute.

“The racing crowd are a good bunch of people and I’ve got to know many of the regular visitors over the years.”

In this competitive contest, marginal preference is for MERRICOURT, who hit the line with plenty of conviction when second at this venue last time out. The six-year-old can capitalise in these calmer waters and gets the nod off an unchanged mark. First Greyed gave a good account when second at Haydock and must be respected, while St Andrew’s Castle completes the shortlist.

The John Quinn stable is in good form at present and this could be the day that FORESHADOW finally gets his head in front, having run second at Beverley last week. City Vaults must be of interest on the step up in trip, while Decoding showed at Carlisle in May that she is well capable of landing a race of this nature. Braes Of Doune is not to be underestimated either.

HORSE CARE AT AYR At every race meeting at Ayr there are three specially qualified equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action.

During a race two vets follow the action from the centre of the course and can attend a casualty in the same response time as the Medical Teams responsible for the welfare of the Jockeys.

The third vet is based at the Stable Yard where a close check is kept on all horses especially those returning after a race.

MEDIA COVERAGE & RECORDING FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES All Attendees (which for the purposes of this clause also includes horses and for the avoidance of any doubt includes families with children) are reminded that many races and fixtures are given coverage on television, radio and in print and various other forms of media. By entering the Racecourse Attendees are accepting they may appear in such coverage which may also include printed or electronic material used for the promotion of the Racecourse.

Accordingly, Attendees shall have no right to object to their inclusion in any much coverage whether produced by the Racecourse or by third parties authorised by the Racecourse. Furthermore by entering the Racecourse each Attendee consents to the passing of still or moving images of them to third parties authorised by the Racecourse for the purposes of the production of printed or electronic material to be used solely for the Promotion of the Racecourse.

Each Attendee will give any additional consents or waivers required for the unrestricted lawful use of any coverage (if any) without request for payment or imposing any other conditions.

MOBILE TELEPHONES & RADIOS The use of mobile telephones is not permitted except by permission of the Clerk of the Course. Bookmakers who have paid the appropriate fee may also use mobile telephones.

USE OF SCREENS It is now standard practice for screens to be erected around any horse receiving veterinary attention on the ground. This does not reflecton the severity of an injury, but allows the vet some privacy and the horse the opportunity in a calm environment, in which to make a recovery. Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse!

For equine care provided at Ayr see under officials at the back of this card.
