Cheltenham Racecard - Friday 29th April

THE JOCKEY CLUB WELCOMES YOU

Welcome to our final race meeting of the season, Race Night which features a card dedicated to Hunter Chasing. We have an exciting seven race card on offer giving the stars of the point-topoint field their chance to shine at the Home of Jump Racing. Point-to-points and Hunter Chases are the grassroots of our sport, and pivotal in finding the future stars both equine and non-equine, and we are pleased to be able to dedicate our season finale to a vital area of our sport. We would like to encourage racegoers this evening to head out onto the course between our second and third races and enjoy a parade by the Cotswold Hunt and their hounds. As ever, we would like to thank our sponsors for their support of today’s card, Visit Cheltenham, Racing TV, KTDA Racing, and Ineos Grenadier. We wish them and their guests an enjoyable evening with us. Today, we also have a race named in memory of Dominic Chapman. Dominic sadly passed away following a Charity boxing match on Saturday 9th April. Dominic loved racing, and Cheltenham in particular, and worked with many of the team here in his role for Low6. Our thoughts are with Dominic’s friends and family at this difficult time, and hope you will all join us in remembering Dominic today. After racing BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James will take to the stage in The Centaur for Race Night’s After Party. This is a ticketed event, and The Centaur will be closed throughout the evening unless you have a Centaur Party wristband. If you have a pre-purchased ticket, please head to the Information Point to collect your wristband to gain entry. There may be a limited number of tickets still available for Club ticket holders to purchase from the Information Point. We hope you all have a fantastic evening with us to celebrate what has been a wonderful season once again. We look forward to welcoming you back to Cheltenham for more first class Jump racing on Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd October for The Showcase, and the start of our new season.

ENVOYE SPECIAL hasn’t quite been at his best on both hunter starts this year, but he ran a cracker when runner-up in this corresponding event 12 months ago and can go one better if reproducing that sort of form. Envious Editor and Rewritetherules are considered the main threats, though a market move for Fan Club Aulmes would put a different slant on matters.

This race revolves around FAMOUS CLERMONT, who looked a good prospect on his first start over regulations fences at Exeter, winning pretty much as he liked, and there should be more to come from this 7-y-o.

PLAY SMARTER

TRIO FOR RIO doubled his tally in hunter chases when landing this corresponding event last year and while his exploits in points have been mixed since (pulled up when last seen a couple of months ago), he gets the verdict to maintain his unbeaten record in this discipline. Prolific winning pointer Moratorium heads up the opposition, with last year’s runner-up Fixe le Kap also fancied to feature.

DOMINIC CHAPMAN

Pictured (From L-R) Joseph Chapman, Kevin Keenan, Peter Keenan, John Chapman, Niamh Chapman, Dominic Chapman Dominic was so special. He was the kindest, friendliest, most genuine person you were likely to meet. At 26, he had the world at his feet; Dominic loved his family, on both sides of the Irish Sea, he enjoyed his job which involved plenty of writing around horse racing, he had a number of friendship groups who adored him and he’d just met a lovely girl with whom he was besotted. Cheltenham was like a second home to Dominic. Like many of his family, he had been a member for a number of years. We’re so glad that, after the behind closed doors Festival of 2021, he was able to return and attend all four days of this year’s showpiece and all of the meetings which preceded it. Dominic loved National Hunt. He loved Paisley Park and Altior, The Conditional and Mister Whitaker. He was adamant that Bardenstown Lad will win next year’s National Hunt Chase. Dominic loved the Centaur, the Cottage Rake and, on certain Festival days, the Best Mate. Such was his generosity, Dominic lost his life raising money for charity. Even after passing, he saved three lives through organ donation. We’re privileged as a family to have a race this evening in his name. Have a pint of Guinness on us, Domo.

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.
