Ayr Racecard - Thursday 19th September by Weatherbys

Virgin Bet

Raceday Preview

1.42pm - Bowen Island should go better here than his last run out at York and looks a promising candidate to take his first win fourth time out. Catalyse looked impressive and finished strongly to win by 2 lengths on debut in Hamilton back at the start of June but found it tough against a stronger field at Ascot in a Group 2 second time out, both over 6 furlongs, so a step up here to 7 furlongs should suit.

2.12pm - Methgal ran well on debut at Haydock, the form of that race looks solid. He was then upped in class last time at Goodwood and shaped with promise after being slowly away. He looks sure to improve again and run a big race here.

2.42pm - Frank The Spark looks the main player here, going for a third win in a row at this distance, and only narrowly beaten by a short head the last time out at Ayr in July, also at 5 furlongs. Water of Leith also comes into this in decent form and could be a real danger to the selection.

3.12pm - Eternal Sunshine will be the one to beat, looking for his ﬁfth win since returning from a 214 break on June 1st. Wee Fat Mac will be the fan favourite for accomplished trainer Iain Jardine, with an impressive record on the Scottish racing scene and is certainly one to consider.

3.42pm - Dark Moon Rising will be looking to go one better on his Ayr return after a narrow defeat to Sea King in July, and a step down in distance is a positive. Aviemore will be looking to make it 2 wins in a row with Franny Norton on board.

4.15pm - Queen Of Soldiers makes her handicap debut under the guidance James Doyle, who could produce the best from this Filly in his current form, a hat-trick looks to be on the cards for the Michael Bell trained Dancingwithmyself, who should be the popular bet here.

4.58pm - Never Better for James Doyle and Roger Varian is an unexposed three-year-old off a very workable mark of 74. He was sent off favourite for a Newbury Handicap where he ran very well. With this drop in grade and further improvement to come he is a strong fancy.

5.23pm - Half Moon Rising is on a hat-trick and respected, but preference is for Haworth Star who got off the mark last time in the ﬁrst-time hood. The switch back to turf shouldn’t be an issue and the extra furlong here will really suit.

WELCOME to the opening day of the Virgin Bet Ayr Gold Cup Festival and what promises to be an excellent afternoon’s racing and an appetiser for the action that follows on Friday and Saturday.

I am delighted to welcome Virgin Bet as sponsors of the Festival for the fourth year and everyone at Ayr Racecourse is looking forward to working with such a prestigious brand once again.

Sponsors are vitally important and we thank Virgin Bet for their support over the three days of what is Scotland’s biggest and richest Flat Racing Festival. Once again Virgin Bet is offering an enhanced ‘Best Turned Out’ award prize on all of their sponsored races across the festival and as a unique further prize all winning racing grooms will be entered into a draw to win an exclusive ‘voucher’ worth £500

Our thanks also go to today’s other sponsorsAyrshire Cancer Support the European Breeders Fund, Western House Hotel and the Branding Hub.

The feature race today is the Livescore Bet Kilkerran Cup in which there is a ﬁeld of 12 runners including the highly rated Oviedo which heads the cast.

I’d like to thank the team at Ayr for their sterling work and dedication to ensure this Festival runs smoothly and is a great success.

There are eight races to savour today and live entertainment follows the last race. I hope you all have an enjoyable and successful Virgin Bet Ayr Gold Cup Festival.

CATALYSE scored with the minimum of fuss over 6f at Hamilton on debut before finishing mid-division in the Coventry at Royal Ascot. Now with his sights lowered stepping up to 7f for the first time, the Wathnan-owned colt looks the one to side with. Jorge Alvares was doing his best work late on when finishing fourth in a valuable sales race at York last month and might be the main danger to the selection now upped in trip. Of the newcomers, Magellan Cloud appeals most. totewin: Catalyse toteeachway: Jorge Alvares

TODAY’S JOCKEY TO WATCH - FRANNY NORTON

The 53 year-old Ayr Gold Cup winning rider is to call it a day by retiring from the saddle after Saturday’s meeting at Chester and the rider takes a bow here this afternoon with 4 rides, including 2 for Charlie Johnston. Norton has ridden more than 500 winners for the Johnston team over the years and takes the mounts on Mystical Sky and Aviemore for the Middleham yard today at 1.42 and 3.42. The jockey’s Ayr highlight has to have been his Ayr Gold Cup success on Our Jonathan for Kevin Ryan in 2011 but he also won Saturday’s Doonside Cup in 2008 and 2014 on Lady Deauville and Sennockian, as well as winning a Group 3 Firth Of Clyde Stakes on Princess Iris in 2006

BAMBALAM caught the eye with the way he travelled into contention before fading into seventh on his debut in the Convivial over 7f at York last month and, easing in grade with the promise of more to come, this 600,000gns breeze-up purchase gets the vote to score. Methgal wasn’t disgraced when sixth in a competitive maiden at Glorious Goodwood and he looks the main danger to the selection, although any market support for Elsass may prove significant.

TODAY’S TRAINER TO WATCH - JIM GOLDIE

The track’s leading trainer for this year with just 5 days of Flat racing remaining, Goldie will be double handed in the Virgin Bet Ayr Gold Cup on Saturday with his multiple-winning 8 year-old Jordan Electrics and last Saturday’s Portland Handicap winner at Doncaster, American Affair Both horses are amongst the favourites to win the £180,000 highlight and success would mean Goldie would become the ﬁrst Scottish based trainer to win the race since Roman Warrior landed the Cup for local handler Nigel Angus in 1975 Goldie can concentrate on bridging that 49-years gap on Saturday but, in the meantime, he has 7 runners on today’s card and rarely leaves the track without a winner

WATER OF LEITH was an unlucky third in a competitive handicap at Doncaster last week, taking up the running a furlong from home before being run down by two rivals who raced on the opposite side of the track. Off an unchanged mark and with his sights lowered slightly, he can gain compensation. Canon’s House has shown enough in his qualifying runs to suggest that he warrants respect on his handicap debut, while a 4lb rise for a recent Beverley success doesn’t discount the hat-trick seeking Frank The Spark totewin: Water Of Leith

RACE DESCRIPTION

This one mile, two-furlong contest is a handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 81 to 100 To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 75 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 70 This particular handicap is also open to horses rated 101 and 102 as well as horses rated 80 and below

Summary: The Kevin Ryan trained gelding had struggled coming into this contest, last at Ripon and York in his previous two starts. He looked rejuvenated here however, apparently beneﬁtting from a different style of ride and keeping on very well to win.

RACE RESULT DISTANCES 1ST

The hat-trick seeking DANCINGWITHMYSELF supplemented her Ripon victory in June with another authoritative display at the same venue two months later. A 6lb higher mark is unlikely to be the ceiling of the three-year-old’s ability and she rates as the one to beat. Hamilton winner Tafsir warrants respect in her current heart, but this distance may prove on the sharp side. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from the reliable Reyaadah Star. totewin: Dancingwithmyself toteeachway: Reyaadah Star

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.

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 reﬂect on 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!
