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

Monday 17th January 2022

We were treated to another action-packed raceday last time we raced, with Bryony Frost picking up another winner here in the saddle of Mistral Nell in the mares’ bumper.

The opener of the meeting began with a novice handicap hurdle, which saw Good Impression see off his rivals in good style , under a patient ride by Ben Jones. Held up in last the whole race before making headway with one circuit to go, Dai Burchell’s in-mate always looked to be travelling powerfully. The 7-year-old took over from the long-time leader and favourite One Last Glance two out and went clear approaching the last, to win by three and a half lengths.

He looked well-handicapped of a mark of 73 and proved this by subsequently scoring again at Uttoxeter two weeks later.

The second race of the day was the Sky Sports Racing On Sky 415 Novices’ Handicap Hurdle which went to Thirtyfourstitches. Bouncing out to lead from the start, The Dr Richard Newland-trained seven-year-old, gave backers a scare when jumping the path before the first hurdle with jockey Tom Bellamy onboard. He looked to be going the least well of the principals jumping the last however, (usually the second-last), but he stuck on gamely and wrestled his way back to the front in the dying strides. He managed to hold the inside line throughout and that may well have proved key in a tight finish as he recorded his second win in just five starts for this yard.

Race three saw just three of the six runners finish, over the 2m5f trip in the “Off The Fence” On youtube.com/ attheraces Novices’ Handicap Chase.

The bang in-form Fergal O’Brien landed this race with Ajay’s Ways, ridden to success with Kielan Woods. Having his first go over fences under rules, he made it an impressive debut and kept on well, having been third two out to get to the lead before the last. He then made full use of his low mark of 85 to fend off the Olly Murphy-trained Dubai Guest, who finished half a length down in second. BDRsyndicates are Norfolk based and have nine horses in training between trainers Fergal O’Brien, Stuart

DON ’T M I S S O U R N E X T M E E T I NG FRIDAY 18TH FEBRUARY SEE YOU THERE! Edmunds and Caroline Bailey. BDR were delighted with Ajay’s win at Fakenham and will continue to support the track.

Enquires about horse partnerships and new members are most welcome.

The Sky Sports Racing On Virgin 535 Handicap Hurdle nearly caused the biggest upset on the day, as Ratoute Yutty ran a cracker at 50/1 to finish second under a brilliant ride from 7lb claimer Lewis Stone. However, it was the Stuart Edmunds yard that was victorious, as Midnight Mary came home in front by two and a half lengths under Ciaran Gethings at 3/1. Although, not at her best due to the heavy ground, the strong stayer proved too good after being dropped in class to win with ease.

The second favourite of the day landed in the Hellesdon Leather & Cloth Furniture Company Handicap Chase over 2m½f, as Somekindofstar came

home strongly for the Lucy Wadham stable. Previously never run over 2m3f or shorter, there was some question marks over the trip, but he quickly put them to bed after keeping on gamely under pressure to win off a career-high mark.

The Sean Curran-trained Doukarov finished in second and the pair pulled well clear of the rest of the field.

The final race on the card went to Fakenham’s current top jockey Bryony Frost. Out of the 2008 Eclipse winner Mount Nelson, this mare was very wellsupported before the off into 11/4 and she didn’t disappoint. The best route is usually the inside route around here but Bryony was keen to keep her nice and wide throughout the journey, possibly in search of some better ground. She looked to have her rivals beat turning in and it was an impressive victory to score by 5 lengths and she could take some stopping next time out under a penalty.

SWINGING LONDON displayed plenty of promise in a couple of starts over hurdles for Ellmarie Holden in Ireland late last year and, with further progress anticipated for his new yard, he can PLAY SMARTER put that experience to good use and come out on top at the third attempt.

The manner in which BALLYANDY has seen his races out over 2 1/2m on his last 2 starts suggests that this longer trip could suit at this stage of his career and he can snap a losing run going back just over 2 years. Fellow-veteran Kansas City Chief may provide the chief threat.

There must be at least eight horses that go to post in each of the two races for the bonus to be paid.

OFFICIAL 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.
