Cheltenham Racecard - Friday 21st October

Every year the whole team look forward to welcoming you back to the Home of Jump Racing after the summer break and today is no exception We have fourteen talent-packed races to look forward to over the next two days, seven of which will take place this afternoon, kicking off at 1.35pm with the Showcasing Sustainability Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle Race

Trainers on both sides of the Irish sea will be plotting their routes to the Cheltenham Festival in March and a lot of them will start their journey right now at The Showcase Meeting.

Last year’s renewal saw Guard Your Dreams win for local trainer Nigel Twiston Davies, before he went on to win the Unibet Champion Hurdle trial at the International Meeting in December The Dan Skelton-trained Third Time Lucki also won at last year’s Showcase before going on to score at the November meeting. If it is clues for the season ahead you’re looking for, here is very much the place to start.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who are supporting racing today including Squareintheair.com, Ballymore, 888 Sport, The Abu Dhabi Digital Exchange and Foundation Development Ltd. We wish them all a wonderful day with us here at Cheltenham.

While we’re all very much looking forward to the racing, there are a number of other exciting things to look forward to, including our very first sustainable race day.

The Jockey Club is always striving to deliver a sustainable racing experience to both our customers and participants, and it continues to be our vision to be leaders in sustainability across the sporting sector constantly reviewing the effect we have on the environment and identifying opportunities to minimise negative impact The Showcase Sustainable Race Day will trial a variety of new initiatives all with the aim of reducing our impact on the environment.

Throughout the day we will also be celebrating and showcasing the wonderful world of racehorse ownership by providing a fascinating insight into what it is like to be the proud owner of an equine star. There will be a showcase of syndicate horses in the parade ring at 12.30, while in The Hall of Fame a syndicate village has been set-up, with racing clubs and syndicates on hand to talk to you about the fun and thrill of being involved in owning a racehorse.

Thank you so much for joining us as we get the jump racing campaign of 2022/23 underway here at Cheltenham Racecourse, and we hope you have a fabulous day.

PLAY SMARTER

A good quality novice with the vote in favour of ASH TREE MEADOW. Already a 3-time winner over fences this year, he’s fared well in defeat more recently, not least when fourth in the Galway Plate on his penultimate start. This drop back in trip will hold no fears and he can put his greater experience to good use Jetoile in receipt of 5lb from his Uttoxeter conqueror Aucunrisque is feared, as is Chris Gordon’s charge Sole Pretender completes the shortlist.

EACH-WAY BETTING TERMS

Working alongside the Racecourse Association (RCA), bookmakers have introduced standard each-way betting terms across Jockey Club Racecourses. Bookmakers will provide these terms, or better, when offering each-way betting. Fewer than 3 runners: win bets only, no places offered 3 or 4 runners: all to win. Where a bookmaker wishes to depart from this default position he may offer place terms for 3 or 4 runners, this must be at 1/5 odds a place 1-2 5 to 7 runners (inclusive): 1/4 (one quarter) odds for finishing 1st or 2nd

8 or more runners: 1/5 odds for finishing 1st, 2nd or 3rd

Handicap races with 12 to 15 runners (inclusive): 1/4 odds for finishing 1st, 2nd or 3rd Handicap races with 16 to 21 runners (inclusive): 1/5 odds for finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th Handicap races with 22 or more runners: 1/4 odds for finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th

FAREWELL TO CHRIS BELL

Around the time of The Showcase meeting, the Cheltenham Racecourse Membership team will bid farewell to its most loyal and long-serving team member.

Chris Bell, who joined The Jockey Club in August 1988 has decided to draw to a conclusion what has been an outstanding innings tirelessly servicing our customers.

Chris has been the “go-to” man for so many of our members and his name is forever being highlighted in correspondence for delivery of excellent, conscientious and quality service.

The legendary Desert Orchid was the winner of the first Gold Cup during Chris’s time in the office. This win, along with the success of Norton’s Coin who famously won our big race at 100-1, are his most cherished racing memories despite witnessing hundreds of races at the home of jump racing. It goes without saying that Chris has built not just rapport but incredible friendships with many of our members and his knowledge of what they “have” and what they “need” will be something that our team will be working hard to replicate.

Chris did not just look after members, he also delivered the requirements of many ticketing agents, both in England and Ireland who could rely on him to provide exactly what they needed, when they needed it.

His departure will leave a big void and when he leaves the grandstand for the final time today, we will be saying farewell to one of thegreat characters of our team.

A man with a brilliant dry sense of humour, a kind heart and outstanding work ethic. He will be missed massively by his colleagues, and I don’t doubt by hundreds of our members as well.

If the BERMEO who landed this race in 2020 turns up, rather than one who failed to fire when bidding for a repeat 12 months ago, he will have every chance. The 11-y-o looked good when making a winning start for this yard at Newbury in April and connections have secured the services of a very capable amateur Go On Chez is feared most but cases can also be readily made for the Ben Pauling-trained duo, Anightinlambourn and On Springs, while Powerful Position is also shortlisted.

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.
