1. FORM EXPERTVIEW

Aquick wayto see a horse’s past performance. These are its recent finishing positions.

Look out for Letters:

C = Has won at this course

D = Has won over this distance

CD = Has won over this distance at this course

BF = Was a beaten favourite

- = New racing season

/ = Missed racing season

P = Was pulled-up and didn’t finish the race

F = Horse fell

U = Rider unseated

R = Horse refused to race

CO = The horse was forced out of a race by a loose horse

B = Horse was brought down

S = Horse slipped

r = The horse ran around a jump or took the wrong course in a flat race

d = Disqualified

Bold form

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

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’STRAINER &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.

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

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

‘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.

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

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

PLAY SMARTER

TOP OF THE BILL has improved switched to positive tactics over fences, landing back-to-back C&D handicaps with plenty to spare in recent months. He could yet have more to offer and can complete the hat-trick. Hurricane Highway appeals as having a bigger effort in his locker and heads up the dangers.

Stewards Note:

FOXBORO: Following its run on 7/1/2024 it was reported that the horse was outpaced.

PLAY SMARTER

While TAKE YOUR TIME was admittedly disappointing at Wincanton last time, he was a thoroughly decisive winner at the same course on his penultimate start and is well worth another chance off a mark still below that off which he was successful over hurdles. Track And Trace and Robyndzone both coped very well with the step up to marathon trips on their latest outings and are feared most in that order of preference. Mr Vango is also worth a second look.

PLAY SMARTER

CHLOE’S COURT is a likeable sort who goes well at this track and arrives in good order, so she looks the solid option despite her advancing years. Cedar Row was impressive when last seen almost a year ago, so he needs considering despite the absence, while Bells of Peterboro shouldn’t be dismissed returning to hurdling.

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.

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.
