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.

The Jockey Club would like to thank our Group Partners for their support in 2025

Barry Johnson Today we pause to remember Barry Johnson who sadly passed away on Christmas Day. Barry was a part of Devon & Exeter Racecourse’s fabric with over 38 years’ service from 1981 to 2019. Starting as a grounds person then moving his way up to head groundsman, holding that role for seven years, until he eventually took up the role of Clerk of the course.

He oversaw the track for the best part of seventeen years and was here through the transition of the buyout by The Jockey Club where he eventually also oversaw Wincanton Racecourse in a dual role.

Please join us today before the first race where we will have a minute’s silence to remember Barry and all the hard work and dedication, he gave to Exeter Racecourse.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Barrys family, his partner Julie and two children Matt and Ellie who have joined us today.

Gillespie is interesting making a PLAY SMARTER quick switch to handicaps for Paul Nicholls. Diamatiste’s good Exeter record earns him a place on the shortlist, while Tzarmix is one who arrives at the top of his game.

Winning run came to an end at Uttoxeter last time but shaped as if still in top form and he needs considering. Engaged 3.40 Ffos Las Thursday.

The 7-y-o shades preference ahead of Olivia Kate and Shuil PLAY SMARTER Ceoil.

LE COLD GREY makes plenty of appeal on pedigree being out of a French bumper winner, so he earns the vote before market clues. Blackswan d’oroux hails from a PLAY SMARTER stable that continues in fine form so is another debutant to take seriously, while I’m Wade Awake is the pick of those with experience.
