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 31.

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

A tight-knit handicap in which veteran ROCKLEY POINT edges the vote on the back of his good recent Newcastle second. Fellow C&D scorer Captain Corcoran could emerge as the main danger if, as expected, building on his reappearance seventh in the same race. Golden Gal is another who could have a say if back on her A-game.

TODAY’S TIP

WICHAHPI enjoyed a good first season and is taken to start 2024 in style with the form of her closing Newcastle second looking strong. Stash The Cash appeals as a likely improver now going handicapping so is next on the list ahead of the handily-weighted Ninety Nine.

TODAY’S TIP

SUGARPIEHONEYBUNCH revels under these underfoot conditions and is fancied to bounce back to form in style from a winning mark and follow up her success in this event a year ago. Newcastle runner-up Heatherdown Hero appeals as the one to give Simon West’s mare most to do, although a solid case can also be made for in-form pair Carlton and Lexington Hero.

TODAY’S TIP

EYE OF DUBAI shaped with a good deal of promise when finishing runner-up on each of his 2 starts as a juvenile during the autumn and, gelded ahead of his return, he looks a big player with further progress anticipated. Moon Solitaire makes plenty of appeal for a yard adept at readying a newcomer and is respected, with Elemental Eye completing the shortlist.

Longest Traveller: SHARK TWO ONE trained by J Macey, Doncaster, 83 miles.

TODAY’S TIP

A competitive contest and it could just be worth chancing bottom-weight LANGHOLM. Runner-up on his return over C&D 12 months ago, he comes here operating from a handy mark and conditions will hold no fears for Michael Dods’s 8-y-o. Camacho Star, back on turf, is one to consider, with Al Muqdad and Beauty Choice others entering the reckoning.

Shelbourne, with a reappearance run under his belt, is feared back on turf along with Knicks, who will have no issues with forecast conditions.
