FACILITIES FOR DISABLED RACEGOERS
Facilities for Disabled Racegoers – Viewing ramps for wheelchair users only are situated next to the parade ring and in front of the grandstand. Disabled toilet facilities are available in the Gods Solution bar, next to the Luncheon Suite, next to the disabled car park and in the Course Enclosure facilities.
HORSERACE BETTING LEVY BOARD
The Horserace Betting Levy Board prize fund schemes provide for the estimated inclusion of £147,745 in ratecard and incremental prize money at this racecourse from 23rd March to 23rd June 2024.
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
BF = Beaten Favourite
d = disqualified
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
With her reappearance run behind her, MORAL STANDARDS proved a different proposition when second at Pontefract 22 days ago and she can build on that to go one better The main danger could be Northerner, who made an encouraging debut at Wetherby last summer (the winner scored again next time), with Obligatory the pick of the remainder
