Chelmsford City Racecard - Thursday 19th May

Evening Racing Presented by Barconn Ltd Thursday 19th May 2022

Official Programme £3.00

Welcome

Here, at Chelmsford City Racecourse, we try to offer you more than a day’s racing: we try to offer you an experience. Obviously, you can come and wander over to the paddock to see these majestic thoroughbreds, both before and after the race; this gives you the chance to look at each horse, to assess its condition, to see if it looks ready to go out there and run for its life. In my opinion, you are missing out on a major part of the experience of coming racing if you don’t, as amongst the horses you are able to soak up the atmosphere and appreciate the love that the handlers have for these horses.

In addition to this, we want to offer you the option to choose how and where you spend the rest of your time. If you come to the Sportsman’s Bar, you can enjoy the racing in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the Fairwood Brasserie offers an informal dining experience right opposite the finishing line and upstairs there is a fine dining experience with panoramic views of the course.

We are in the process of expanding our hospitality with the Paddock marquee, the Summer marquee and the Queen Charlotte marquee all ready for our exciting events calendar coming up over the next few months.

I hope you have a lovely evening.

Timeform Rating

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS

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.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

CITY SELECTIONS This can go the way of MONSIEUR FANTAISIE, who has proved ultra-consistent since being fitted with blinkers last October. The step back up to seven furlongs looks a positive at a course he loves and the son of Make Believe can repel the challenge of Dark Design, who scored over 1m here in February. Michael Herrington’s charge Street Poet makes plenty of appeal turned out again quickly (second at this venue on Saturday), with the booking of Richard Kingscote catching the eye.

CITY SELECTIONS LIGHT UP OUR STARS completed a course double when winning twice over 7f in the month of April and he ought to remain competitive from a 1lb higher mark. Tony Carroll’s charge is equally as effective at eight furlongs and the gelding is taken to bring up the hat-trick. Jenson Benson remains relatively unexposed on the synthetics and is feared most after his facile success earlier this month, while the top-weighted Magnetised, who appears for the second time following wind surgery, can make his presence felt.

LIGHT UP OUR STARS should take all the beating in his bid to complete a Chelmsford hat-trick, with the furlong longer trip unlikely to pose a problem. Jenson Benson is another course specialist and looks by far the most serious danger after his recent win here, Dewey Road can finish third.

CITY SELECTIONS A chance is taken with ENZOS ANGEL, who displayed promise in what appears to be a strong novice race at Newmarket last October. The son of Dark Angel has been gelded over the winter and could take a significant step forward now upped in distance. Assessment is likely to be popular with punters after his Yarmouth success and rates the selection’s main danger. Apache Grey was forced extremely wide at this venue on his latest outing and he is not without a chance if gaining a trouble-free passage from stall six.

PLAY SMARTER

ASSESSMENT got off the mark at Yarmouth last time and his eye-catching debut at this track sticks in the mind, so he’s an obvious choice to double his tally. His stablemate Glory Nights is a likely improver and ranks the main danger, while Valley Mist is a notable newcomer for a stable that has been firing in winners lately.

CITY SELECTIONS GREATGADIAN made a winning return over C&D last month, having shown promise on a couple of occasions last season, and a 6lb rise for that success is unlikely to stop the four-year-old from progressing further. Peter The Great improved plenty from his Pontefract effort when runner-up at Newcastle and the application of cheekpieces is likely to aid his cause, while last season’s John Smith’s Cup hero Johnny Drama commands respect on his first start since having a wind operation.

Man Of Riddles was runner-up when searching for a hat-trick of victories here last month and he is expected to be in the mix once again, while a step up in trip may bring about further improvement from King Francis, who scored over 1m3f at Kempton on his penultimate start.
