WELCOME TO AYR RACECOURSE

Welcome to the On Course Bookmakers Raceday, our first major meeting of the 2023-2024 Jumps season and which ultimately culminates with the Coral Scottish Grand National Festival on 19/20 April 2024.

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.

Racing and Bookmaking have always had a symbiotic relationship going back to the very earliest days of horse racing, the story goes that Harry Ogden in the 1790’s was the first proper bookmaker offering odds on every horse in the race and to this day that practice has endured. I’d like to thank our collaboration with our Oncourse Bookmakers for their generous support this afternoon but of course will be delighted if you take a few pounds from them!

We have an exciting day’s racing in prospect with some real quality on show with three Class 3 races and four Class 4’s what a way to start the season. The top jockeys are here and we start the day off with 85 runners and an added bonus 8 races!

We welcome Invades who have organised a student experience extravaganza at Ayr, there will be more students here today than a 9am Monday Economics 101 lecture, and we hope they enjoy their day and pick a few winners.

A huge thank you to SK & B Inns who are also sponsoring today and bringing a number of their guests for a great days racing.

Burton Roofing are sponsoring for the first time and the local depot is based at Auchengate, Irvine head there for all your roofing needs.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the team here at Ayr for their dedication and hard work which go a long way to ensuring the success of days like these. In particular I’d like to highlight our Groundstaff team who have just been awarded the 2023 RCA Groundstaff Awards best Dual Purpose racecourse team for the UK and are now vying for overall champions. Without a shadow of doubt they will win that!

Some people have a flutter according to the form and going conditions, whilst some use jockeys silk colours but for those that like the names… for the red wine drinkers definitely Not the Chablis in the 1.42 or perhaps what about Vintage Fizz in the 2.15 but wouldn’t life be good if Everyday Champagne was the order of the day in the 1.42.

Finally after the final race we have entertainment with Chart Society in the Princess Royal stand for three hours and I hope everyone has an enjoyable and successful day at 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.

MIGHTY THUNDER WAS THE WINNER OF THE SCOTTISH GRAND NATIONAL ON SUNDAY, APRIL 18TH, 2021.

HOW TO BET 1.

Pick your Racehorse, look around for the best odds on course, try to proffer the correct stake money for your wager.

2.

Ask the Bookmaker for your bet by naming the horse. The bookmaker will repeat your bet to his clerk, correct bookmaker if he makes a mistake and receive your Betting Ticket as a receipt for your bet.

3.

If your horse wins, give your Betting Ticket to the bookmaker, check your winnings.

4.

Check with the bookmaker when placing a bet, the Place Terms. Place Betting, not all on course bookmakers accept each way bets, ie. for a win or a place.

5.

EACH WAY BETTING

In the unlikely event of a dispute after adhering to this procedure, the bookmaker

In conjunction with The RCA, the bookmakers have introduced standard each-way terms. Bookmakers will provide these terms, or better, when offering each-way betting.

• Fewer than 3 runners - all on to win • 3 or 4 runners – 1/5 odds a place 1,2 • 5 – 7 runners (inclusive) – 1/4 odds a place 1,2 • 8 or more runners – 1/5 odds a place 1,2,3 • Handicaps with 12 to 15 runners (inclusive) – 1/4 odds a place 1,2,3 • Handicaps with 16 to 21 runners (inclusive) – 1/5 odds a place 1,2,3,4 • Handicaps with 22 or more runners – 1/4 odds a place 1,2,3,4

will tell the punter to approach the Ring Official, who will advise you as to your rights.

6.

Some course bookmakers have minimum stakes.e.g. £1, £5, £10 but small backers are catered for in the racecourse Betting Shops.

All bookmakers must display on their boards whether they are betting each way or to win only.

The British EBF will allocate £2 million to prize money in 2023, thanks to the contributions of our British Stallion studs:

FLORIDA DREAMS confirmed the promise of his debut success at Musselburgh when taking the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree and Nicky Richards appears to have another bright prospect on his hands. That said, the five-year-old is unlikely to have things his own way on his hurdling debut with impressive Wetherby scorer Indeevar Bleu in opposition. Olly Murphy’s charge bounded clear on his racecourse bow and has to be considered a strong threat. Primoz and I Love My Baie are others capable of a decent showing.

JOSHUA DES FLOS has made an encouraging start to his career, making the frame in two good bumpers, as well as chasing home a couple of smart types in a Punchestown maiden hurdle.

The form of his most recent performance, when third at Kilbeggan, has worked out well, with the first and second both subsequently winning. Little Miss Dante is feared most after a good NH Flat race campaign, with Marty McFly and Prontoanita heading the remainder.

THUNDER IN MILAN created a big impression when winning easily on his return to action at Perth in September and he is hard to oppose on the back of that effort, despite a 9lb rise in the ratings.

Aviewtosea was not beaten far at all when third at Stratford on his first appearance following wind surgery and he is likely to be in the mix once again, while Everyday Champagne and I Am Gonna Be are others to note.

SIR IAN GOOD We were saddened to hear of the passing of Hamilton Park Racecourse Chairman Sir Ian Good, 80 who passed away peacefully after a short period of illness.

Sir Ian had been on the Board at Hamilton Park for more than 30 years and he made an immeasurable contribution not only to Hamilton Park but also to Scottish Racing and the racing industry as a whole. Our thoughts are with his family.

DISTANCES

Glinger Flame won with plenty in hand at Kelso last time and must be respected off 6lb higher, along with Wakool, who bids to retain his crown having won the corresponding event off an 8lb lower mark last year. Preference, however, is for the Rebecca Menzies-trained SCHALKE. The son of Malinas posted an excellent fourth in a premier handicap at Sandown in February and is able to compete from an unchanged mark today. Conditions ought to favour the eight-year-old, and a winning return might be on the cards.

Now 37, Hughes rides principally for Donald McCain and Nicky Richards and in 2022, became only the 4th jockey in National Hunt history to ride 200 winners in a season when he clocked 204 as he joined now fellow double-century makers, Peter Scudamore, Richard Johnson and AP McCoy.

Russell is also plotting bigrace campaigns for Aintree specialist Ahoy Senor and another Grade One winner Apple’s Away with rising star Giovinco tipped for big things too despite a recent fall on his chasing debut at Carlisle.

A chance can be taken on TRANSATLANTIC, who returns from a long absence and was last seen going in by over six lengths in a novice event at Huntingdon. The son of Le Havre now makes his first start for the Olly Murphy stable and he could be up to defying his mark of 115.

Park Annonciade was beaten into third when failing to justify favouritism at Perth last time, but he should go well off the same rating. Of the remainder, Sleeping Satellite makes the most appeal on his handicap bow.

A Listed winner over hurdles last season, Marble Sands must be of interest, while course winner Traprain Law is another to consider for a stable in excellent form.
