1. FORM

EXPERT VIEW

A quick way to see a horse’s past performance. These are its recent finishing positions.

How the experts rate the horse’s chances:

Look out for Letters: C D CD BF

= Has won at this course = Has won over this distance = Has won over this distance at this course = Was a beaten favourite

MORE INFORMATION ON THE FORM / P F U R CO B S r

= New racing season = Missed racing season = Was pulled-up and didn’t finish the race = Horse fell = Rider unseated = Horse refused to race = The horse was forced out of a race by a loose horse = Horse was brought down = Horse slipped = The horse ran around a jump or took the wrong course in a flat race = Disqualified

d Bold form figures = performance in all-weather (Flat) or Point-to-Point (Jump) races

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.

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

OTHER USEFUL DETAILS 6. Owner’s colours worn by the Jockey 7. Saddlecloth number 8. Horse’s name 9. Days since the horse last run 10. Horse’s age 11. Jockey’s weight (stone and Ibs) 12. The horse’s breeding – father (sire) and mother (dam) 13. Horse’s owner 14. Horse’s breeder 15. Birthplace of horse (outside GB)

BETTING EXPLAINED Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number.

Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.

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

Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online. Each option offers a different experience.

‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.

‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.

Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.

COPPERHEAD

Raceday preview from Weatherbys We are treated to a real competitive renewal of the Paul Ferguson’s Jumpers To Follow Best Mate Chase Handicap Chase, a Class 3 event staged over three miles, and the weights are headed by Back On The Lash.

Martin Keighley’s nine-year-old has become better known for his exploits over the banks on the Cheltenham cross country track in the past couple of years, with both of his last victories coming in that sphere; it would be no surprise if this is treated as a pipe opener for those other targets later in the season.

Up another 6lbs for that success, Snipe has always looked the type to develop into a nice staying chaser.

Emma Lavelle won this contest in both 2014 and 2015 and sends Sam Barton in search of another success in the race here. The eightyear-old must bounce back from a belowpar effort to close last season at Haydock but did win on seasonal return in 2022.

Copperhead won here over hurdles back in 2019 and returned with a good second at Fontwell at the start of the month. Joe Tizzard’s nine-year-old has a tendency to jump out to his right, but Exeter being a righthanded track will help mitigate some of the problems this causes.

Neil Mulholland’s Any News is also a winner at the track, although it was a bumper that he won here. The eight-year-old has been kept busy throughout the summer and couldn’t have been more impressive when running out a ten-length winner at Worcester three starts back. A return to good ground will only aid his chances too.

Currently heading the market though is Manothepeople for Fergal O’Brien, making

WEATHERBYS RACEDAY PREVIEW

just his fifth career chase start. He won his first two over the bigger obstacles last season and his run in the Scottish Grand National to close the campaign can be forgiven, a tough ask for any novice to stay the marathon trip of four miles. The eight-year-old won fresh last term and still has plenty of scope for improvement over fences. Northern Poet ended the last campaign in fine form, winning his last three starts for Nick Gifford.

Up another 9lbs in the handicap in a deeper contest, this does require more though.

Snipe made a winning start to life over fences at Southwell for the Skelton team last time, and the six-year-old is bound to be popular for the in-form yard. Up another 6lbs for that success, he has always looked the type to develop into a nice staying chaser and it would be surprising if a mark of 118 is his ceiling.

Lounge Lizard began chasing last term as a five-year-old and notched up two impressive victories, despite some novice jumping. Henry Daly’s son of Kayf Tara singed off the season with a good third in a strong handicap chase at Aintree and should continue to progress this term as he matures. Iberio makes his chase debut here from a mark of 114 but the ground would be a concern, with the pick of his form coming with some cut in the ground.

I See You Well has plenty of experience in this sphere and has eight chase victories to his name. He goes well on the ground and has now dropped back down to his last winning mark, although he is winless in three starts at the track. Pontresina returns to fences here following an unsuccessful hurdles campaign last year and is 2lbs below his last winning mark over the larger obstacles. That was back in 2020 and was the ten-year-old’s only victory under rules.

He could make up into a useful novice hurdler this season. The same is true of Mikimoto and American Land, PLAY SMARTER both of whom shaped well on their respective debuts in this sphere and are feared most in that order of preference. King of The Lake is another to consider and Broomhill Road is worth a second look, too.

EXMOOR FOREST: Following its run on 12/5/2023 it was reported that the horse ran flat.

GOSHHOWPOSH caught the eye on a couple of occasions in novices and is very much the type to up his game switched to handicaps, so he might be up to completing a PLAY SMARTER successful return. Itso Fury has a bigger effort in him and deserves respect, while Gentleman Valley seems likely to give a good account.

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.

IMPORTANT

NOTICES

HEALTH AND SAFETY NOTICE The Racecourse would be grateful if you would observe all Health & Safety requirements whilst you are at Exeter Racecourse. The emergency exits from the bars onto the grandstand steppings are painted yellow and we would request that you do not stop whilst in this area.

We would also request that only those that are disabled use the disabled viewing ramp and that parents keep a close eye on all children and prevent them from climbing the running rails and getting on to the actual racecourse. We would also like to remind racegoers that the first aid room is located adjacent to the weighing room.

RACEHORSE & 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.

PHOTOGRAPHY Racegoers please note it is not permitted to take photographs on racecourses except within the areas normally open to the public. Amateur photographers must ensure that they do not intrude upon areas used by professional photographers.

Flash photography is not permitted in any circumstances.
