HOW TO PLACE A BET
PLACE YOUR BETS....
Betting is quite straightforward and can be fun - for as little as £2 There is no fool proof way of picking a winner; the odds and the racecard can give you a good guide but you can also have as much luck picking your horse by the name or colour of the silks.
BET IN TWO WAYS -
1. Betting with the tote - a quick, easy and friendly service You’ll find tote betting points all around the racecourse and it will give you a better choice of bets with the lower minimum stake of £2. Look at the counters for the tote how to bet guides
HOW TO READ
2. Bookies - these are all in front of the Grandstand and take only two bets TO WIN and EACH-WAY The bookies offer ‘odds’ on all the horses and you are best to shop around for the best odds. These are given in fractions, such as 8/1.

Cartmel Racecourse
ENJOY THE RACES IN SAFETY
A day at Cartmel Racecourse should be great fun for everyone; nobody wants an injury or an incident to spoil their day. So, when push comes to shove, we need to make sure that there isn’t any pushing or shoving
The racecourse team prepares carefully for each event and we take every precaution to ensure that the site is as safe as is practical. However, we also need some help from you – to take responsibility for your own safety and to respect the safety and comfort of those around you. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a brief list of precautions that we’d like all visitors to consider:
ALCOHOL & SUBSTANCE ABUSE
Fortunately very few accidents occur at Cartmel Racecourse, but those that do are most likely to be relatively minor incidents involving someone who has had too much to drink Quite simply: you’ll be safer if you drink less alcohol
On the rare occasion that we receive a customer complaint, it’s quite likely to be linked to the behaviour of someone who’s had one too many So please drink responsibly and encourage your friends to stay within their limits
Any incident involving substance abuse will be dealt with by Cumbria Police.
SLIPS, TRIPS, FALLS
parkland, that forms the racecourse, includes many uneven surfaces which may become slippery in wet conditions. Please take care of yourselves and mind where you walk. Don’t try to run faster than your legs can go, even if you think your bookmaker might be packing away for the day.
The most common cause for a visit to our medical tent is sunstroke… Okay, that’s only on hot days The most common cause, on a normal day, is a grazed knee Many of these incidents involve children aged under five years old or adults that have had one drink too many (see previous point about alcohol). Customers are reminded that the natural
FENCES, WALLS & BARRIERS
The fences, walls and temporary barriers located on the racecourse are intended to segregate people into specific areas. This may include segregating people from horses or people from sensitive or hazardous equipment Please do not attempt to climb over, sit on or stand on any barriers – regardless of whether they appear to be permanent or temporary features – they are not designed to take a person’s weight.
ENCLOSURES
We remain very happy that our visitors can travel between enclosures to experience all that Cartmel Racecourse has to offer However, these routes use the racing surface and we must always make sure that the
horses have fully left the track, before we open the gates to humans. Whilst we are sorry you may need to wait – please understand that any delays are due to us keeping you safe
RECYCLING
All of our waste is recycled at the waste depot so please feel free to use any bin.
TREES
The scenery at the racecourse is enhanced by beautiful trees, including some very old oaks However, despite clichés such as ‘strong as an oak’ it should be noted that all trees are capable of shedding branches with little warning While we inspect all the trees on the racecourse annually, we recommend that you do not sit beneath the branches. We especially ask that neither children, nor adults, swing or climb on the branches of trees within the parkland
PARKING
areas) and do not sit on or lean over barriers near to the horses. The running rails are designed to encourage the horses to stay on the track – but they will not withstand a horse’s weight if they hit them, nor a jockey’s if he is thrown over them – so be prepared to move if a horse is behaving erratically
VEHICLE MOVEMENT
Be aware of moving vehicles at all times. If you are driving a vehicle, please pay special attention to pedestrians.
BARBECUES
Every year the first aid team will treat at least one person with burnt fingers and we will be required to extinguish at least one fire in a wheelie bin. If you intend to bring a barbecue, please ensure that you handle it safely, take care not to scorch the grass and dispose of it in a metal bin – only when it is fully extinguished
Why do I need to pre-book parking now? This is a decision taken by the authorities out-with our control and what they are looking for is a record in advance of everyone who is driving a car on-site. Why is there less car parking on site now? Again, this has been mandated by the external authorities in order to maintain a safe distance between vehicles and pedestrians.
WATER
No gas barbecues or gas canisters are permitted on the racecourse
Please extinguish all BBQs 20 minutes before racing starts
CHILDREN
Children are naturally attracted by the water in the beck that meanders through the Paddock Enclosure For reasons that should be obvious, we recommend that children are supervised at all times. We also recommend that anyone paddling in the beck wears shoes or boots to protect their feet Animals use the beck upstream (and downstream), so please do not use the beck for washing up your picnic utensils, for drinking or for cleaning your hands.
HORSES
Whilst its brilliant to be up close to the racing action, we would appreciate you not allowing children to sit on the racetrack perimeter fence. Also – if you see any damage to racecourse fences, temporary structures or furniture we would appreciate you reporting this damage as soon as possible to a member of our stewarding team
ABANDONMENT
Horses are big and run very fast; hopefully yours will run fastest of all. Please pay attention when in close proximity to the horses: stay on the public side of any barriers (close to the track or horse walk
Abandonment refunds: Full refunds for general admission tickets will be given if racing is abandoned before the first race A 50% refund will be given if racing is abandoned before the third or featured race No cash refunds will be given on the day, but will be administered by post after the meeting Please retain your tickets as they will be required for your refund application Applications for refunds should be sent within one month of the fixture.

BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE
Race Description Novice races tend to be for younger horses that are still learning their way over hurdles or fences and allow them to race against each other before graduating up the ranks Horses are classed as a novice if they have yet to win a race, under the respective code, prior to the official start of the season, towards the end of April although for wins between 1st March and the end of the season they may continue to contest novice races until the end of the following October This particular two miles, one furlong and 46 yards novices’ hurdle race is for horses aged four-years-old and upwards which have not won more than three hurdle races.

Race Description This is a two miles, six furlongs and 31 yards handicap hurdle race for novices aged four-years-old and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 95. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have won a race, been placed twice or raced at least three times in order for the handicapper to gauge the level of form shown. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap In simple terms a horse rated 95 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 90.

Race Description This is a two miles, six furlongs and 31 yards handicap hurdle race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 120. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170.

PLAY SMARTER
A well-backed winner last time, NAKASSAMA may still be ahead of his mark based on his fairly useful Flat form and is fancied to follow up on a track that should suit. Sea The Clouds and Evenwood Sonofagun bring solid course form to the table and are expected to be firmly in the mix for the home team, while the other Irish raiders, Miss Manzor and Butty O Brien, both need a close look in the betting

None of these can be ruled out but it could be worth siding with LIGHT N STRIKE who has slipped to a good mark for Mickey Bowen and hinted at a revival last time. Buy Some Time is unexposed over fences and rates a big threat on the back of a recent success at Perth, while Sean OG and Breizh River can also play a prominent role

Race Description This is a three miles, one furlong and 107 yards handicap steeple chase for five-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 100. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 7lb.

Race Description This two miles, one furlong and 61 yards handicap steeple chase has been designed for five-year-olds and upwards which are rated from 0 to 105. In most National Hunt handicaps, there is a minimum weight of 10st 2lb so any horse whose official rating would allocate them less than that still has to shoulder that burden. The horses that fall into this category are said to be racing from ‘out of the handicap’ – usually a distinct disadvantage.
