PLAY SMARTER

Unsurprisingly claims can be made for plenty and it could just pay to side with ANIGHTINLAMBOURN. Ben Pauling’s mare has already enjoyed a fine season, impressively making it 3 wins from her last 4 starts at the November Meeting and an 8lb higher mark may not prevent another bold showing from this likeable 9-y-o. Irish-raiders Angels Dawn and Mr Incredible are others to consider, with Beauport and the progressive Stumptown also highly respected.

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 &
