Happy 80th Birthday John Whitehead !

The Whitehead’s 80th ‘Gonna Be Hot Tomorrow’ Novices’ Steeple Chase

in honour of John Whitehead, a great friend not only to Nicky Richards and everyone at Greystoke but many others too.

John is a larger than life character with an infectious personality that will always go above and beyond to help anyone out. He has been known to drive many a jockey to the races over the year, even going back to the days of Ron Barry for who he also used to house sit for.

John, like many of us, is not only an avid racing fan but a man very fond of a pint. So when last orders are called and the question is asked, the response is quote often…..

“WE BETTER HAD, IT MIGHT BE HOT TOMORROW”

Worth another chance.

TFRHHHHH BHA150 FORM 12253-2

TIMEFORM VIEW Smart chaser who won her first 3 outings over fences last season. However she failed to meet expectations on her first start outside of novice company returning in a Grade 2 at Navan earlier this month but this 5-y-o may well have too much class for her rivals today.

There was a lot to like about SILVER FLYER’s handicap debut second and he’s taken to go one better with further progress a distinct possibility given his lightly-raced profile Captain Zebo has been cut some slack by the handicapper and rates a possible threat returned to a venue which has regularly brought out the best in him. Storm Nelson is also respected on his return from wind surgery

RACEHORSE & JOCKEY WELFARE

The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority. The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials are here to ensure that the racecourse delivers those standards. In addition Carlisle Racecourse employs two veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse. In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team Qualified paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.
