Chelmsford City Racecard - Thursday 19th October

Evening Racing Thursday 19th October 2023

Official Programme £3.50

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse I am keen to share with you the importance of the welfare of the horses, that race here, to all of us at the racecourse. From the moment, each horse arrives at the stables, we strive to ensure that the horse has the very best of care and attention.

We have a team of vets in attendance, who will check any horses over whom there may be concerns before they leave the stables, they will then be monitored in the paddock, down at the start and, after the race, back in the paddock area and at the stables.

Having spent a large part of my life caring for these beautiful animals, I can testify to the love that stable staff have for their horses.

They work incredibly long hours, developing a bond of trust that is hard to create and easily broken with these highly strung animals. It is truly wonderful to witness the strength and closeness of that bond and should never be underestimated.

Have a wonderful evening.

Neil Graham Racing Director

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 WHIP CRACKER sets a decent standard based on his debut performance when runner-up at Newmarket and that experience ought to stand him in good stead in his attempt to go one better. Silvaplana comes from an excellent family, with her dam a full-sister to Galiway, who has had a solid beginning to life as a stallion, and she warrants a considerable amount of respect on her first start, with 75,000gns purchase Wide Margin and Deep Havana also noted.

CITY SELECTIONS Bluebells Boy has to be high on the shortlist following his second here over a furlong shorter last week. That said, the four-year-old has been running well enough in recent months without getting his head in front and a chance is taken on LAST DATE instead. He produced his best effort for a while when third at this course last month and the six-year-old gets the vote to gain a fourth career victory.

Nemorum also boasts claims.

PLAY SMARTER Bluebells Boy is an obvious threat on the back of a solid effort here last week, while Golden Moon and Last Date are others to consider.

CITY SELECTIONS MAID IN KENTUCKY wasn’t disgraced on her first run since June when beaten six lengths into seventh at Kempton earlier in the month. The application of cheekpieces for the first time, along with a 2lb drop from the handicapper, may provide her with the chance to get back to winning ways. Gulmarg has been knocking on the door recently and is likely to go well, along with Riot, who caught the eye here on Saturday.

Riot is now 1lb lower than for his latest success at Doncaster during the summer and he rates the main PLAY SMARTER danger. Perhaps the first-time visor will help Get Stuck In to rediscover some form and, if so, he will also be a threat.

CITY SELECTIONS MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO posted his best effort of the season when filling the frame in third at Wolverhampton last time out, and a similar level of performance may be enough for the three-year-old to get his head in front here. Adace is now 6lb higher than her Windsor triumph in August, but rates as a more solid proposition than most, while Cap D’Antibes warrants respect as a dual C&D winner.

CITY SELECTIONS ALMATY STAR finished a respectable fourth when appearing outpaced over 5f at Leicester recently and Roger Varian’s gelding is fancied to regain the winning thread on the return to 6f. C&D winner Musical Tribute posted a below-par effort at Yarmouth last month, but she shouldn’t be underestimated now reverting to the all-weather. The daughter of Acclamation is feared most ahead of Cuban Breeze and Batal Dubai.

CITY SELECTIONS The three last-time-out winners may dominate proceedings, with TRADESMAN shading the vote. The gelded son of Mastercraftsman has won on his last two appearances at this venue and triumphed with enough in hand here a fortnight ago to suggest that he can defy a 4lb rise in the ratings. Grand Duchess Olga recorded a C&D victory last month and she is likely to be in the mix off only 1lb higher, with the returning Ray’s The One next best.

TRADESMAN made it two wins at this course from his last 3 starts when scoring cosily here a fortnight ago and he is taken to add to his tally. The 4-y-o can see off the challenge of Grand PLAY SMARTER Duchess Olga, who opened her account at this C&D on her latest outing, while Louaizeh could still have more to offer and also merits consideration.

CITY SELECTIONS UNIVERSAL GRACE scored cheekily over C&D last month and, considering she was rated as high as 62 last autumn, a 3lb higher mark might be nowhere near enough to prevent her following up. David Probert retaining the ride is another positive and the filly is taken to reverse recent Wolverhampton form with Suanni. Rewilding and Tilsworth Ony Ta are others to consider.

CITY SELECTIONS The booking of Oisin Murphy for Marmara Star catches the eye and, with her match-fitness topped up after a respectable fourth-placed finish at Wolverhampton 10 days ago, a big run is expected. Meadram also rates as a player off an attractive mark. However, it is hard to get away from the hat-trick seeking LUNAR SPACE, who is back up in trip and 2lb well-in under a penalty for Saturday’s 1m success here.
