HORSE WELFARE AT CATTERICK

At all Catterick race meetings we has a minimum of two fully qualified equine vets who are employed to look after the welfare of all horses in action. They work closely with a British Horseracing Authority Veterinary Officer who is also always in attendance. In the unfortunate event of an accident or a horse becoming hurt or injured, the racecourse vets are on hand to act swiftly and treat a horse without delay. It is now standard procedure that all racecourses have modern, fully equipped horse ambulances so that horses can be moved and treated in more comfort. If a horse is injured out on the course, the vets and their assistants will erect screens enabling them to work in private - the use of screens will not automatically mean the horse has been seriously injured. Serious injuries at Catterick Racecourse are thankfully very rare, but we regard any injury, however slight it may be, an absolute priority and we would like to assure all racegoers that we have the right people, the right equipment and right procedures to deal with them efficiently

FIRST AID

Will all racegoers please note the location of the first aid post which is at the entrance to the Disabled car Park.

RACE CONDITIONS

For today’s race conditions, please see page 27.

SHUTTLE BUS

Catterick are pleased to announce that they are now providing a shuttle bus service between the racecourse and Richmond town centre. Today the shuttle bus will leave the main entrance approximately 10 minutes after the last race. For further details please contact the Racecourse Office.

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED

Bold form figures = All-Weather form

The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

TODAY’S TIP

GLENTRUAN needs to dispel a lesser effort at Ayr but he had previously shaped well when runner-up at this venue in February and could be worth siding with to get back on track eased in class. Fellow class dropper Al jaraqaan with blinkers refitted may emerge as the chief threat.

TODAY’S TIP

Useful dual-bumper winner MISS LAMB presumably isn’t the easiest to train but she shaped encouragingly on just her second start over hurdles after a year off at Wetherby in January and this looks a good opportunity to open her account in this sphere. Golden Glance is an interesting hurdling debutante for a stable having a fine season and is feared most ahead of the penalised Western Safire.

In 1975 he beat Flashy Boy and Tingle Creek in the Benson and Hedges Gold Cup at Sandown and carried 11st 10lb to victory in the Massey Ferguson Gold Cup at Cheltenham, giving 18lb and a ten length drubbing to third placed Royal Frolic, who later the same season won the CheltenhamGoldCup. Sadly,injuryruled EasbyAbbey out of the Gold Cup and led tohisretirement.

TODAY’S TIP

FINGAL’S HILL shaped as if needing his return after a year off at Carlisle recently and, having proved steadily progressive as a novice last term, he could just be worth siding with to leave that effort in his wake, with this sort of test promising to suit. Plumpton scorer Crossing The Bar can emerge as the lead threat, ahead of Hajey

The interesting one here is THE WHISTLE BLOWER, who will find this a lot easier than the hunter he contested at Cheltenham last spring and his point record is a very good one.
