BETTING

Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number

Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.

EXPERT VIEW

How the experts rate the horse’s chances:

2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse

3. Timeform view and TFR rating

4. HORSE’S TRAINER & THEIR LOCATION

Look out for the summary of leading course trainers before each race

Listen out for any jockeys who are having a successful day.

S TART BAYIN N

The Start Bay Inn is a stunning thatched pub dating back to the 14th century when it was used by local fishermen who worked from the beach on which the pub was built.

The pub has a delightful and varied menu specialising in locally caught fish with a cracking selection of real ales, ciders and fine wines. The pub is run by former landlord Paul’s two daughters, Clair and Gail, but Paul can still be seen taking his boat out several times a week to source the freshest fish for the pub (tomorrow’s fish is probably still in the sea).

Outside seating overlooks the majestic bay and there is ample car parking with a customer car park adjacent to the pub and a public car park across the road.

TFRHHHHI BHA98

FORM 0404-52

TFRHHHII BHA97

FORM 6P6-444

TFRHHIII BHA93

FORM 014330

FORM 45-054

TIMEFORM VIEW Signs of ability in bumper/novice hurdles and prominent in the betting for handicap debut upped to 20.5f, only to shape like a non-stayer. Back in trip with cheekpieces on.

ANY BISCUITS landed a few bets fitted with a tongue tie when making his second handicap start a winning one at Market Rasen last month, and while this is a deeper race, he may well be up to the job. Callisto’s King and Blue Anchor are a couple of potential improvers for successful yards.

Emergency Evacuation

Whilst we always endeavour to take appropriate steps to ensure your safety, comfort and enjoyment, an incident may occur which is beyond our control and it is, therefore, important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency. We employ Safety Officials whose job it is to ensure your safety In the event of a situation which requires a partial or full evacuation of the Stands, announcements will be broadcast and the Officials will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your belongings with you and proceed out of the enclosure quickly and quietly under their guidance.

The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area. It may give you peace of mind if you pre-plan and agree a meeting place with your party, just in case you become separated. If we are unable to re-occupy the Stands for any reason, you will be advised immediately, and, if it is considered safe to do so, you will be invited to return to your car or coach.

These are precautionary arrangements which we trust will not be required.

However, in the event of an emergency please remember; Take your belongings with you and under direction of the officials proceed quickly and quietly to the safe area then to your agreed rendezvous point or to your car or coach.

Racehorse and Jockey Welfare

The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation. The British Horseracing Authority similarly 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 ensure that racecourses deliver these standards. In addition Exeter Racecourse employs three 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 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 nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.
