BHA RATINGS

The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability.

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions.

A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

LAST TIME AT FAKENHAM

Fakenham RACECOURSE

Sunday 19th December 2021

Lightdoor Ltd. and Hellesdon Leather Cloth Furniture Company kindly sponsored our last meeting and we were treated to some top quality racing.

The meeting began with a Mares’ Maiden Hurdle Race for three-yearolds and upwards. Of the four runners declared, only two went to post and victory prevailed for 9/2 shot Shiroccy Road for Emma Lavelle and Ben Jones.

He raced in second for the vast majority of the race but overtook 1/7F Cool Stone and Tom Cannon when approaching the last, keeping on well and winning impressively by nine lengths. Cool Stone blundered badly at the final fence and lost ground up the run in, handing Shiroccy Road an easy victory.

The second race of the day saw The Feckenham Fox claim her first victory for Max Young with James Best in the saddle. Despite pecking on landing following the first fence, she led before the 13th fence and won in superb style by 28 lengths from Glorious Lady and Tabitha Worsley, who had no chance two from home. 11/8F DIamond Rose was in touch with the leaders but was ridden three out and failed to stay on, finishing 30 lengths behind the eventual winner.

Race three saw six runners go to post for the Hellesdon Leather & Cloth Furniture Company Maiden Hurdle for four-yearolds and upwards. Concero, the 5/6F, enjoyed his first win of the season in the hands of Jack Quinlan for Ben Case; the only five-year-old in the race began to

press the leader from the sixth obstacle, and responded to Quinlan’s cue for more in the run in. He just edged out Commodore Miller and Nico de Boinville into second by half a length, who just ran out of steam in the closing stages.

Christian Williams saddled his first winner of the day in the form of Uno Mas in the Christmas Cracker Stayers’ Handicap Chase, winning by three lengths from Henry Brooke and Ecossais.

The seven-year-old increased his winning streak, claiming his fourth consecutive win this season in the hands of Ellis Collier. He was prominent throughout and, despite jumping right-handed at the 19th obstacle, made all in the run

DON ’T M I S S O U R N E X T M E E T I NG MONDAY 17TH JANUARY SEE YOU THERE! in and stayed on well enough to claim his fourth victory of the season. The pair denied Ecossias of their first win of the season; he was prominent following the 17th fence and chased the winner from two out, but was no match for Uno Mas in the closing stages.

Nico de Boinville’s patience finally paid off in the fifth race of the day, claiming victory with Lelantos for Nicky Henderson by a length and-a-quarter.

The Middleham Park-owned gelding claimed his second victory of the season from three runs and stayed on well to deny Jack Quinlan a second victory of the day on board Tiny Tantrum. Despite drifiting right and bumping into Tiny Tantrum approaching the last, Lelantos was always doing enough and won comfortably when pushed along.

Bryony Frost enjoyed her first victory of the meeting aboard Admiral Barratry for

Lucy Wadham in the penultimate race of the day, winning impressively by 16 lengths from Luckofthedraw. Admiral Barratry kept on strongly in the closing stages following the home turn, whilst co-favourite Not A Role Model was held up behind the leaders before weakening quickly two from the finish.

The final race of the afternoon saw the biggest field of ten runners going to post, headed by the market leader Vocal Duke for Toby Lawes. The five-year-old claimed his third victory of the season, and his second win at Fakenham, in this handicap hurdle in the hands of Kevin Brogan. The pair were held up in rear in the opening stages of the race but came through to lead during the final stages, snatching Bryony Frost’s second potential win of the day aboard Glutnforpunishment.

JONY MAX did make a couple of jumping errors here last time but still looks the most solid option in a race where decent chase form is thin on the ground. Animal has run a couple of sound races since switching to fences and he’s feared most.
