★★✩✩✩ Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. ★✩✩✩✩ can be given little or no chance.

GU I D E TO R AC I N G at c h e l m s fo R d c i t y Racing at chelmsford city takes place on the flat over distances from five furlongs to two miles – there are eight furlongs in a mile.

Whilst most flat races take place on turf, racing here takes place on a synthetic surface. as the surface tends to have better drainage than turf it is easier to produce consistent racing ground whilst during cold weather it is also far less prone to freezing – hence the generic term all Weather racing.

Races over five, six and seven furlongs tend to be a pure test of speed, with races over a mile and further better suited to horses with stamina. there are many different types of races but all are based on the sex, age or ability of the horse. the most common is a handicap – a race where each horse is allocated a weight, according to its ability. the best horse in the race will carry the biggest weight; theoretically giving each horse an equal chance. the skill is trying to work out which horses are better than the handicapper thinks they are! maiden races are for horses which have yet to win a race. often aimed at two-year-olds, but also open to older horses, the skill here is to decipher what can sometimes be very limited form. claiming and selling races allow the connections to offer their horse for sale. after the race the runners are offered for sale at the price printed next to their name in the racecard. other types of races include Group and listed races which are aimed at the very best horses in training and the classics – the 1000 and 2000 Guineas, the derby, the oaks and the st leger. if you have any questions about today’s racing please feel free to speak to any member of the raceday team.

CITY SELECTIONS An interesting novice event with the narrow vote in favour of a debutant in the shapeof TAMBORRADA. He makes plenty of appeal on paper for a yard more than capable of readying a newcomer and earns the vote under James Doyle. Kondo Isami ran well when third at Newcastle latest and, along with Louis Armstrong, heads up the dangers in a race where the market will likely unearth plenty of clues.

DECLARED RUNNERS 8 Running for the first time since Gelding No. 1, 7.

2019:NO CORRESPONDING RACE LAST YEAR

Probable S.P’s: 3-1 Kondo Isami (IRE), 7-2 Louis Armstrong (GB), 4-1 Tamborrada (GB), 8-1 Stiletto (GB), Vasilakos (GB), 10-1 Law of The Sea (GB), 16-1 Strictly Spicy (GB), 40-1 Beautiful Crown (GB) An interesting novice event with the narrow vote in favour of a debutant in the shape of TAMBORRADA. He makes plenty of appeal on paper for a yard more than capable of readying a newcomer and earns the PLAY SMARTER vote under James Doyle. Kondo Isami ran well when third at Newcastle latest and, along with Louis Armstrong, heads up the dangers in a race where the market will likely unearth plenty of clues.

PLAY SMARTER

AZETS is going through a good spell and found only one too good under this rider at Kempton 17 days ago, so he gets the marginal vote in a wide-open handicap. Poetry And Art is unexposed and open to improvement if she gets the longer trip, so she’s also considered along with James Park Woods.
