Chelmsford Racecard - Thursday 12th January

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse

We have a seven race card for you this evening with an apprentice handicap to start proceedings. In this race, the apprentice jockeys are not allowed the use of the whip but, instead, they must only use their hands and their heels to guide and to encourage their horse. The reasoning behind not allowing them to use the whip is to teach them how to keep their horse balanced and to ride their horse without recourse to artificial aids. These races provide invaluable lessons to inexperienced jockeys, teaching them to think, first and foremost, how to ride the race and their horse.

As we are at the start of the year, I must mention that we have various membership packages for 2023, starting at £495 + VAT for the year, which represent fantastic value when we are racing most weeks throughout the year.

If you are interested, please give us a call or ask a member of the team for more details.

Have a great evening.

Neil Graham Racing Director

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.

CITY SELECTIONS

HURT YOU NEVER has been knocking on the door of late and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to regain the winning thread. The daughter of Dandy Man is back down to the last mark she won off and could have too much for the veteran Shamshon, who rarely runs a bad race around here. Dark Design is a player based on the pick of his form as well.

A weak maiden that can go the way of LETS FLY AWAY, who offered something to work on when fourth at Newcastle 10 days ago. Market support for newcomers Arctic Blast and Vaudevillian would look significant.

CITY SELECTIONS

Last seen finishing down the field in a valuable two-year-old contest at the Ebor

this represents a step drop in grade for Kempton winner MATCHING SOX, who can take advantage for his in-form stable. Bluff ran a promising race on his debut here in November and the form of that contest has worked out a treat since, whereas Erosion Risk is reliable but remains a maiden through seven starts.

BLUFF split a pair of next-time-out winners when a promising third starting out over 6f here in November, and in the expectation he has enough speed for 5f, he looks an appealing proposition. Matching Sox and Erosion Risk have achieved the most to date and head the opposition.

Having won three of her last four starts with determined efforts from the front, MISS NAY NEVER is hard to oppose judged on the progress she made towards the end of last year She can continue to flourish despite a 5lb higher mark imposed for her latest C&D success. Impeach rates as the best alternative, while the enigmatic Atiyah is dangerous to underestimate despite recent finishing positions suggesting she has a lot to prove on face value.

A 6lb penalty makes things tougher for Comedian Leader after her

of REBEL ANGEL over 7f at Southwell last Friday and, while she is respected, the revised terms hand the latter a good chance of reversing that form. The selection’s task is helped by the booking of 5lb apprentice Aidan Keeley and, as she is unexposed at the trip, Mark Usher’s filly edges preference. James Bradley has more to offer in handicaps.

WINKLEVI was said to have benefitted from the application of a first-time visor (retained) when making all over C&D earlier this month. David Evans’ eight-year-old might dictate matters again and that could see the gelded son of Maxios repeat the dose. Estrela Star recorded a narrow success over 1m6f last month and, with the step up in trip unlikely to inconvenience him, he demands respect. Bascinet boasts a largely consistent profile and he’s another to consider

A race featuring a handful of in-form types, with WINKLEVI fancied to follow up last week’s C&D success. It’s easy enough to see David Evans’ gelding getting an easy enough lead here once again, and that could swing the balance in his favour ahead of the interesting Got Bright, who ran his best race in this country last time.
