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

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

Although SPIRITS BAY wasn’t that impressive when landing short odds in a C&D novice a fortnight ago the form of his first 2 efforts over hurdles suggest an opening mark of 118 could underestimate him. Donnacha should find this easier than last month’s Betfair Hurdle and is second choice ahead of Koenigsstern.

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

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.
