THE JOCKEY CLUB WELCOMES YOU

Welcome to the opening day of The April Meeting. This is our penultimate race meeting but the ﬁnal meeting of the season for the professional jockeys here at Cheltenham. Last month we were treated to four extraordinary days of racing, with Rachael Blackmore making history as she became the ﬁrst female jockey to win the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup aboard A Plus Tard, who made it back-to-back wins for trainer Henry de Bromhead. It was a brilliant race that topped off a fantastic week, which was made all the better for being able to welcome over 280,000 fans back to The Festival™. Today we have an exciting seven race card on offer, and we would like to thank our sponsors of the card; Kingston Stud, Matt Hampson Foundation, CITIPOST, Arkells Brewery, Weatherite, and Safran. We wish them and their guests a wonderful day with us. To celebrate the Easter Holidays, we have plenty of complimentary family fun entertainment in The Centaur. This includes; Sam's Funky Fun's Winning Post, Derby Hoppers and Bungee Run, Toddlers Play Park, Horse Shoe Bouncy Castle, Rosette Making and Colouring In. We encourage you all to head into The Centaur and make the most of the entertainment on offer. Enjoy today’s racing and we hope to welcome you back here tomorrow for the second day of The April Meeting which hosts an all-mare race card. MARTIN ST QUINTON

PLAY SMARTER

The way MONGOL EMPEROR rallied at Doncaster last month suggests he is well worth a try at this sort of trip and he could be the answer to a competitive handicap for the ﬁeld size. Bold Plan is back in excellent order and still retains handicap scope, with Whatsupwithyou also of interest given the form of his latest second has been boosted recently.

THE FOUNDATION IS BUSIER THAN EVER HELPING AN INCREASING NUMBER OF YOUNG PEOPLE SERIOUSLY INJURED THROUGH SPORT. It was mine and the Foundation’s big goal to build the Get Busy Living Centre, a place where our Beneficiaries can receive rehabilitation and meet others in a similar position. My dream is now a reality and the Centre opened in October 2018. The sharing of knowledge is a powerful tool in the rehabilitation process following a life changing injury. For many, waking up and facing another day is a battle in itself. The Foundation has created a unique environment at the Centre with the main aim being to provide our beneficiaries with the tools they need to Get Busy Living Again after a life altering injury and we are all immensely proud of the facility. We are changing peoples lives on a daily basis but do need your continued support to allow us to keep helping our ever increasing number of beneficiaries.

PLAY SMARTER

STOLEN SILVER was far from disgraced when fourth behind Coole Cody in the C&D Plate Handicap at the Festival last month and there’s a good chance he can get the better of the gallant winner this time now 8lb better off. That could well be enough to win this competitive handicap with Coole Cody a chief contender once again. It’s probably best to forgive Simply The Betts’s run in the Cotswold Chase and he is another serious player back from a break.

ROCK LEGEND didn’t need to match his previous best when landing cramped odds on return at Newcastle last month yet he’s just the type to step forward now handicapping from what rates an appealing opening mark and earns the vote to come out on top.

For your own enjoyment and to avoid disappointment please observe this restriction. Please respect our neighbours when leaving the racecourse. No alcohol is to be taken off site.

Health and Safety Notice

The Racecourse would be grateful if you would observe all Health & Safety requirements whilst you are at Cheltenham Racecourse. The emergency exits from the bars onto the grandstand steppings are painted yellow and we would request that you do not stop whilst in this area. We would also request that only those that are disabled use the disabled viewing ramp and that parents keep a close eye on all children and prevent them from climbing the running rails and getting on to the actual racecourse. We would also like to remind racegeors that the ﬁrst aid room is located above the parade ring behind the See You Then Bar

Notices

Weights, Pedigrees, Trainers’ Names, Descriptions, Performances and Values of races have been added for the convenience of the Public, but are subject to alteration. All horses must parade in the Parade Ring except by permission of the Stewards, but in all cases must pass through the Ring on the way to the Post. The Management reserves the right to refuse admission to anyone without assigning a reason for so doing.

Parade Ring Access

In the interests of safety, access to the parade ring is strictly limited to Owners and Trainers with runners in the race, British Horseracing Authority Officials and Racecourse Officials who are on duty at the meeting and Emergency Service Personnel. Those people holding badges or accreditation that allow access to the Parade Ring are asked to refrain from entering this area unless it is absolutely necessary in the course of their business.

Touts

JCR is taking strong action against touts. Touting is seen by some as a legitimate way of buying or selling last minute tickets but many tickets sold by touts are fraudulent or counterfeit. An injunction has been issued preventing touting at the Racecourse. You could yourself be breaking the law by dealing with a tout. Genuine tickets sales are available at all the entrances or in advance via the Racecourse website.

Terms and Conditions

All you do at the Racecourse including transactions as well as entry onto the Racecourse are subject to the Terms and Conditions. For details see the Racecourse Website www.cheltenham.co.uk. A copy is also available at the Racecourse Office.

Racehorse & Jockey Welfare

The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses trained in Britain are stabled at the premises licensed by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA). The standards demanded by BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation. Similarly, BHA licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials and Cheltenham Racecourse staff work in conjunction to ensure that the highest standards are met. In addition Cheltenham Racecourse employs eight veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse. In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate attention and treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team. Qualiﬁed paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey. If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the most appropriate equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.
