WELCOME TO AYR RACECOURSE Welcome to Ayr Racecourse for the final flat meeting of 2023.

Whether you are a first-time racegoer or a seasoned racing enthusiast, I hope you have an enjoyable experience with us today.

I’d like to thank our owners and trainers for choosing to run their horses here today and I wish all connections the very best of luck and sincerely hope you have a successful day and return again in the future.

The recent Virgin Bet Ayr Gold Cup meeting was a great success, and we are delighted to welcome Virgin Bet as sponsors of this race meeting too, many thanks to them.

We crown our champion trainer, jockey and owner of the flat season today and whilst its certain that Jim Goldie will once again be our champion trainer and congratulations to Jim, it’s still all to play for in the other categories.

I would also like to thank our racegoers for attending today and hope you enjoy your day.

Also please feel free to visit Western House Hotel after racing where Scott Nicol plays his live acoustic set from 6pm till 9pm.

The next meeting on Saturday 4 November is a great way to start the Jumps season and we look forward to welcoming you then.

I wish you a safe journey home and hope to see you back at Ayr soon.

LEADERBOARDS

Today’s card sees the 20th and final Flat racing card of the year here at Ayr and our 2023 champions will be crowned this afternoon after another tremendous year’s racing at the home of the Virgin Bet Ayr Gold Cup. Joe Fanning landed his first Gold Cup on Julie Camacho’s Significantly last month and the rider has put himself in a great position to wrest the Ayr Champion Jockey title from Paul Mulrennan with an 11 points lead ahead of the track’s final 8 races of the year.

It also says plenty for Joe and Paul that Andrew Mullen has had a fantastic season at Ayr and is only third in the current standings.

Jim Goldie has been making the pace in the race for the Trainers’ Title right from the start of the season back in May and the reigning champion will be crowned again today with his current 124 points giving him an unassailable lead over Iain Jardine, with David O’Meara back in third.

The Owners’ championship went to the final day last year and will do so again with 5 possible winners still in contention and both Summerstorm Bloodstock and the Reluctant Suitors tied on 15 points.

Jim’s training career has been intertwined with Ayr Racecourse and the Uplawmoor handler will be presented with the track’s Champion Trainer prize today after running away with this year’s contest during a fantastic Flat season for the yard. Monday past marked 30 years since Jim sent out his first ever winner as a licensed trainer at Ayr with Dawadar under Fraser Perratt and he also saddled his 1000th career winner when Call Me Ginger won here at the track last June. The Goldie team will be as busy as usual today with 12 runners declared across the card.

Last year’s Ayr champion jockey is all set for another busy afternoon at one of his favourite tracks but it looks a tall order to catch our current leading pilot Joe Fanning (11 points ahead), despite the fact that Joe’s name is absent from today’s list of riders.

Paul has his usual level of support from leading trainer Jim Goldie and we congratulate Paul on another fantastic season at Ayr whatever the outcome of today’s final card in the race for the Ayr Jockeys’ Championship.

RECORD LAST 5 YEARS 15% AYR 40 WINS FROM 270 RIDES

Charlie’s first season as sole licensed trainer at Johnston Racing in Middleham has seen the yard send out its usual high quota of winners, especially here at Ayr, and success for the 2 year-old Curran under Joe Fanning at Pontefract on Monday was the Johnston team’s 152nd success of the year. The Johnstons were also busy at the sales the same day with several purchases at Newmarket’s October Yearling Sale with their Book 2 buys ranging from 12,000 to 100,000 guineas and two of this year’s juveniles contest our 2 year-old Novice Stakes today in the shape of Peace Walk and Grey Nyle.

Local jockey Danny is having another excellent year as number one rider to his retaining owners Clipper Logistics and his long-standing partnership with trainer David O’Meara continues to bring success to both parties. Danny’s had a break since riding a winner at Hamilton last Monday and served his 2-day suspension on Tuesday and Wednesday this week meaning our 2022 Virgin Bet Ayr Gold Cup winning jockey on Summerghand is back, raring to go, for Ayr’s final Flat raceday of the year.

Iain was back amongst the jumping winners at Kelso on Monday when 16/1 chance Slugger upset the favourite backers of Lucinda Russell’s dual Ayr bumper winner Esprit Du Potier and the yard’s Flat team seems to have been in top form all season. Popular sprint handicapper Kats Bob was another winner for the yard at Newcastle on Friday after Never Dark had won a valuable sprint handicap at Haydock the previous weekend and the Jardine team is well represented once again here today with stable jockey Andrew Mullen on some key runners.

PJ arrives at Ayr fresh from winning a £150,000 Sales race at Newmarket last Saturday on Woodhay Wonder and the jockey finished second on another juvenile at Ayr last Tuesday when debutant Firebird finished second at 25/1 for trainer Rebecca Menzies. McDonald is one of the senior Flat riders these days but he’ll long be remembered for his big-race wins as a jump-jockey which included success in the Scottish Grand National here at Ayr in 2007 on Hot Weld for the late Ferdy Murphy.

Jim Goldie has two good chances but five-time course winner AYR POET looks the best hope based on his proven effectiveness on this circuit. Amie Waugh’s 3lb claim is a boost for the eightyear-old and further success could be imminent. There are dangers aplenty, though, and the likes of Kentucky Bluegrass, recent Beverley winner Frankendael and the first-time visored Tilsitt are all capable of making sure this is a typically competitive apprentice riders contest. The selection’s stablemate, Sophiesticate, is dangerous to underestimate, too.

PEACE WALK showed major improvement from first to second start when scoring comfortably at Beverley last month, and the slight rise in distance should not inconvenience as he looks to overcome a 7lb penalty. Lava Stream seemed to be getting the hang of things late on when fifth at Thirsk and he must enter calculations, along with Deimos, who wasn’t disgraced on his racecourse bow for a stable in excellent form.

DARBUCKS was only narrowly beaten into second in a similar event over course and distance last week and he is hard to oppose off the same mark. That said, The Gay Blade has a similar profile and is actually 1lb lower then when a neck second at Hamilton 10 days ago. With that in mind, the four-year-old cannot be discounted, while Global Humor and Rogue Force are others to note.

ADMIRAL D bounced back to form when running a big race in third over C&D last time, and this looks a good opportunity to get his head in front. Richard Fahey’s runner was only beaten one and a half lengths that day and he looks primed to go close off the same mark. Ascot Adventure rates as the biggest danger to the selection after scoring in the Bronze Cup last time, but it won’t be easy to defy a 6lb rise, while Abduction also warrants respect.

Hills Of Gold and Agnes Grey are open to improvement at this stage of their development and are serious competitors. However, TREMENDOUS TIMES has dropped to a highly attractive rating and, off 2lb lower than his latest start when fourth here, he has a live chance of reversing the form with the runner-up from that contest, Jkr Cobbler, to break his maiden at the 11th time of asking in the process. The veteran Muntadab is also feared.

Last year’s winner Zumaaty returns in fine form and should go well again off a 5lb higher mark than 12 months ago, while Temper Trap won a division of this race in 2021 and sneaks in off top weight after a 1lb drop for placing at Hamilton recently. First Greyed is interesting stepping up in trip but preference is for BANNER ROAD, whose sole victory came over this C&D and Jim Goldie’s filly hinted her turn was near again when a neck second at Hamilton.

DISTANCES

JAMINOZ arrives here in fine form, seeking a hat-trick after consecutive wins at Hamilton, and he gets the nod for Jim Goldie. The four-year-old seemed to get better the further he went over 1m4f last time and he appears likely to mound a bold bid in attempting to defy a 5lb penalty for that three and a half-length success. Kittykarma makes most appeal of the rest after shaping as if this extra yardage would suit when just held over the extended 1m4f at Newcastle last time, while Clansman is also respected in his bid to follow up a victory over 1m7f here last week.
