Epsom Downs Racecard - Tuesday 19th April

THE SPRING MEETING

TUESDAY 19 APRIL 2022 OFFICIAL RACECARD £2

EPSOM DOWNS RACECOURSE WELCOMES YOU

Welcome to Epsom Downs Racecourse.

A very warm welcome to Epsom Downs for our 2022 curtain raiser, the Spring Meeting, which features six quality races for you to savour.

The highlight of this afternoon's action on track is the Listed Cazoo Blue Riband Trial, which is a valuable and sought after pot in its own right, but a race that also offers the winner an automatic entry into the Cazoo Derby, back here at Epsom Downs on Saturday 4th June.

Few horses have won the Blue Riband Derby Trial and then gone on to success in The Derby, but it still boasts a strong roll of honour, including subsequent Champion Stakes winner Storming Home and the 2018 joint highest rated racehorse in the world, Cracksman, who won the race in 2017.

This afternoon's card also features the Class Two City and Suburban Handicap, a £50,000 race for horses aged four years old and above, and the Class 3 Great Metropolitan Handicap, run over the Derby course and distance.

This is a hugely exciting year for everyone involved at Epsom Downs Racecourse and the surrounding community, with The Cazoo Derby forming part of Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

We are delighted that The Queen is intending to be here in person on 4th June to enjoy what will be a spectacular carnival.

I wish all the horses and their connections the very best of luck and I hope that you have a wonderful time with us here at Epsom Downs.

British and Irish racing will participate in 17 World Pool events in 2022 with racing fans from around the world betting on the sport’s most prestigious flat racing festivals. These racedays have record prize money available of £28.4 million and include Cazoo Oaks Day at Epsom Downs for the first time.

World Pool events in Britain and Ireland will be hosted on the following days in 2022: •

QIPCO 2000 Guineas Day – Newmarket Rowley Mile Racecourse, Saturday 30th April

As a collaboration of global Totes, World Pool enables racing fans from all over the globe to bet into a single pool. This creates huge liquidity and excellent value for racing fans. In 2021, £363 million was bet into the pools with a 15% higher return to a £1 bet compared to the industry Starting Price for online customers of the Tote. For example, the biggest World Pool in 2021 was on the Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes at York which was £3.99 million, with the winner Winter Power paying 14.46 with the Tote compared to 9/1 SP. Launch of World Pool “Moment of the Year” to celebrate the best performances For the first time, a World Pool “Moment of the Day” will be awarded by an industry representative at the 16 World Pool days in the lead up to British Champions Day, with the moment decided by a standout performance. This could include a wide-margin winner; a winner from an unlikely position; an extraordinary turn of foot at any point in the race; an above expectation performance by an outsider; or a human or equine interest story.

Racing staff who look after the winning horse for each World Pool “Moment of the Day” will receive £1,000 and a bottle of champagne.

At the end of the World Pool season, the 16 winners of “Moment of the Day” at World Pool events will compete for the overall World Pool “Moment of the Year”, which will be presented on British Champions Day. The overall winner will be determined by a combination of scores derived from a public vote and an industry panel. The winning yard who looks after the horse will be awarded the World Pool Moment of the Year and receive £34,000.

IGGEST EVER WORLD POOL SEASON New bet types for World Pool in 2022 There are seven bet types in World Pool for 2022, including the Exacta and Treble for the first time. These are set out below: •

Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, Chief Executive Officer of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, said: “Having been launched at Royal Ascot in 2019, in partnership with Ascot racecourse and UK Tote, we are delighted that World Pool is now in its fourth year and going from strength to strength. It provides a global wagering platform to improve the customer experience and generates additional income to our valued partners, contributing to the sustainability of racing and the funding of prize money. I have been advocating for international commingling since 2007 so the positive response from bettors and racing jurisdictions to this important innovation in pool betting has been incredibly beneficial for all involved, resulting in greater exposure for British and Irish racing and their major race meetings.”

John Williamson, Chairman of the UK Tote Group, said: “Led by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, the collaboration between British and Irish racecourses and many other parties to create World Pool and further internationalise the sport is a welcome and important achievement. We hope many more owners and trainers will support World Pool events.

Providing healthy field sizes of at least seven runners facilitates a full suite of bets for racing fans on each raceday and will surely increase the financial return from these meetings. We commend the vision shown by the Hong Kong Jockey Club and support the greater cooperation we are now seeing across the sport. Building on this momentum will ensure not only the greater success of World Pool, but also of our industry as a whole.”

Martin Stevenson, Chief Executive Officer of Racecourse Media Group, which represents the media interests of The Jockey Club, Goodwood, and York racecourses, said: “World Pool ensures the sport benefits from global betting activity, with participating racecourses able to use the additional income to fund increases in prize money in 2022 which in many cases already exceeds pre-Covid 19 levels for World Pool racedays. We look forward to broadcasting and showcasing World Pool days to audiences all around the world.”

Suzanne Eade, Chief Executive of Horseracing Ireland, said: “We are delighted Irish Champion Stakes Day at Leopardstown will be a World Pool event for the second year.

This clearly underlines the benefits of collaborating to grow pool betting to the benefit of racing fans and the whole sport. We look forward to continuing work with the Hong Kong Jockey Club and all involved in World Pool to ensure its continued success.”

George McGrath, Chief Executive of the National Association of Racing Staff: “The World Pool Moment of the Day is a very welcome initiative and it’s fantastic that racing staff will be recognised for their vital role in racing. I am delighted and proud that my members will be the beneficiaries of the £50,000 worth of prizes on offer for the top performances across the summer. It’s great that the public, along with industry representatives, will be involved in deciding The World Pool Moment of the Year which will add to the excitement around QIPCO British Champions Day as the finale of the flat season.”

PLAY SMARTER

ARENAS DEL TIEMPO arrives in form and did well at this venue at the end of last summer so she’s the suggestion in this competitive handicap. Andrew Balding has won this twice since 2015 and Achelois has the profile of one who could do better again as a 4-y-o. Soto Sizzler’s good course record also earns him a place on the shortlist.

Wins at all racecourses across the country count towards the trophy and Adam West leads the way with 8 winners so far. Simon Dow, Brett Johnson and Michael Attwater all follow closley behind with 7 winners.

Standings as of 14th April 2022.

PLAY SMARTER

An ordinary minor event, and the most likely winner is BLUEBERRY HILL, who ran better than ever on reappearance at Doncaster 3 weeks ago, and is sure to benefit from this longer trip. Later Darling has run to a slightly higher level form his 3 juvenile starts and is respected. Elena’s Gift went off 100/30 for her debut at Leicester 6 months ago and is presumably thought capable of better.
