A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN SUNDAY 13 MARCH 2022

Good Afternoon.

Welcome to the first Spring meeting in 2022. It’s been a long Winter and there’s no better place to see in the warmer months than at a raceday at Bangor-on-Dee. Today we celebrate 2022’s only Sunday meeting at Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse. We’re thrilled to be able to welcome racegoers to our picturesque track and hope you enjoy your leisurely day at the races.

There are six exciting races on the card today. First we begin with The Broxton Gates Handicap Chase (Class 4) 0-120 at 2:02pm. Close behind is The Proactive Personnel Mares’ Handicap Chase (Class 3) 0-130 Challenger Mares’ Staying Chase Series Qualifier with a prize of £13,400. Later, the day will close with The Visit Irish Store Sales with ITM Novices’ Hurdle Race Class 4 at 4:58pm I’d like to extend our thanks to today’s sponsors; Broxton Gates, Proactive Personnel, TOTE, RW Hough & Sons and Irish Thoroughbred Marketing. Your support is greatly appreciated by all here at Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse.

Our next race meeting is on Saturday 9 April, where we’ll be hosting our much anticipated Bangor-on-Dee Races Grand National Celebration. We hope to see you there for what promises to be a very exciting day in racing.

HOW TO BET WITH A

RACECOURSE BOOKMAKER

WAYS TO BET STRAIGHT

Win only

EACH WAY

A bookmaker taking each way bets will display the terms on which he/she accepts such bets on the top of his/her board.

This is a bet for your selection to win or be placed.

STANDARD TERMS FOR EACH WAY BETTING In conjunction with The RCA, the bookmakers have introduced standard each-way terms.

Bookmakers will provide these terms, or better, when offering each-way betting. · Fewer than 5 runners – all to win · 5-7 runners – 1/4 odds a place 1-2 · 8 or more runners – 1/5 odds a place 1-2-3 · Handicaps with 12-15 runners – 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3 · Handicaps with 16 or more runners – 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3-4

AWAY BETTING Many bookmakers will also take bets at the other race meetings today. They offer a comprehensive service, including bets settled TAX FREE at Starting Price (S.P.)

BETTING WITHOUT THE FAVOURITE At reduced odds you can back a horse and collect if it wins or runs second to the horse nominated by the bookmaker as favourite.

PLACING YOUR BET Shop around for the best odds against your selection. When you have decided on where to place your bet, state the number of your chosen horse and the stake, for example “number 4, £2 win”. Listen to the bookmaker repeat the number of the horse and the stake to his/her clerk and hand your stake to the bookmaker. You will then be given an itemised receipt that gives details of the bet and shows potential winnings. You should keep this ticket safe.

COLLECTING YOUR WINNINGS If your selection wins (or, in the case of a place bet, is placed), hand the ticket back to the bookmaker for settlement. NEVER destroy your ticket until after the “Weighed In” announcement has been made. There may still be a Stewards’ Enquiry and the first past the post, or placed horses, may be disqualified. On rare occasions even the horse coming fourth has been awarded the race. You may bet with confidence with any bookmaker as they have all been approved by the Administration of Gambling on Tracks Ltd, which administers the betting rings at each of Britain’s 60 racecourses. The AGT also offers a full late pay service, in case a bookmaker leaves the course before you have collected your winnings.

Late pay claims should be sent to AGT, 3A Kings Hall,Parsons Green, St Ives, Cambridgeshire PE27 4WY. Tel: 01480 499180 In the unlikely event that no independent bookmaker turns up to service either end of the racecourse (Bangor and Overton car parks), Bangor Sport will be able to service all betting requirements. Bangor Sport will offer to either ‘take the price’ or use the SP as a means of settling any bet. We will endeavour to show all races (including all those from away courses) on screens at either end of the course. If you have any queries, please ask a member of staff for help.

A guide to the horse’s recentform and star rating. Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

16. Jockey’s Name. If there is a number next to the name, this indicates that the jockey can claim that amount in weight (lbs) off the stated riding weight

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.

DID YOU KNOW

Billingsley will be a leading contender if taking part (also declared at Leicester on Friday) but, in the event that he misses this race, the focus switches to DISCKO DES PLAGES. The nine-year-old often shaped as though he had more to offer last season and, on his first run after receiving a wind operation, he can make a winning return to action. Crack Du Ninian faces a sharper test now and warrants respect, while the class-dropping Antunes is another to consider.

WIN: DISCKO DES PLAGES DANGER: CRACK DU NINIAN

RACE 2

Donald McCain has won three of the last seven runnings of the Visit Irish Store Sales With ITM Novices’ Hurdle (4.58) and the local handler saddles both Grey Skies and Red Vision in this year’s renewal.

RACE 1

TODAY’S TOP TIPS

Wouldubewell still has the scope to progress over fences and, with the step up in trip expected to suit, the daughter of Gold Well looks capable of a bold showing. However, she might struggle to hold off BELLE DE MANECH, who has taken on some smart opposition in recent starts.

Schiaparannie should find things easier in this company and can prove best of the remaining two runners.

RACE 3

WIN: BELLE DE MANECH

JUNGLE JACK hasn’t put a foot wrong over hurdles this season, registering three wins, including when producing an impressive front-running display at this course last month.

Making his handicap debut this time, the Donald McCain-trained gelding can continue his progression and get the better of Harbour Lake, who looked promising before being brought down in the Sidney Banks at Huntingdon last time. Goobinator, who was also declared at Newcastle on Friday, and Ulverston are the pick of the remainder.

RACE 4

WIN: JUNGLE JACK

RACE 5

DANGER: HARBOUR LAKE

The eye is drawn to the unexposed hurdler KAYFAST WARRIOR, who won comfortably at Wetherby on his penultimate start before shaping better than the bare result suggests at the same venue last time. The four-year-old switches to a handicap and can get the better of the front-running Ben Brody, who bumped into an improver when second over fences at Fontwell on his latest outing. John Betjeman is a consistent performer and can also figure.

WIN: KAYFAST WARRIOR

DANGER: BEN BRODY

GAMESTERS ICON was value for a lot more than the winning margin of three-quarters of a length when bettering the reopposing Kayfast Warrior over C&D last month, and a 9lb pull in favour of the latter may not be enough to alter the outcome here.

Feel The Pinch has been running creditably of late and he is likely to be thereabouts, despite having failed to win since June 2019.

WIN: GAMESTERS ICON

RACE 6

DANGER: WOULDUBEWELL

DANGER: KAYFAST WARRIOR

It is difficult to look past the progressive GREY SKIES, as Donald McCain’s charge goes in search of the hat-trick following bloodless successes at Uttoxeter and Kelso to begin his career over hurdles. The son of Cloudings is readily preferred to Risk D’Argent, who hasn’t progressed since a comfortable win at Uttoxeter last December, while Red Vision (a stablemate of the selection) ran a career-best at Ludlow last month when shaping well in third.

WIN: GREY SKIES

DANGER: RISK D’ARGENT

Race Summary: PILSDON PEN has proved to be a different proposition in handicaps, impressing in making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts at Huntingdon last month, and he can defy another rise in the weights and come out on top again. December’s Leicester scorer Rock On Tommy and lightly-raced Stanley Pincombe are others to consider.

He remains with loads of handicapping scope so is more than capable of winning again. Crack du Ninian is edging back down to a winning mark so is next best.

Race Summary: LAC DE CONSTANCE has created a good impression in winning both his starts over hurdles at Exeter and, in a race lacking depth, is a straightforward choice to complete the hat-trick. Sporty Jim showed some promise on his first attempt in this sphere at Ayr and should leave that bare form behind.

An opening mark of 126 could underestimate and, back in calmer waters, he can prove that his late departure at Huntingdon was just a minor blip. Donald McCain’s charge is unbeaten in 3 starts over timber so far so he’s the obvious danger, with Goobinator seemingly best of the rest.

Race Summary: With DELUXE RANGE’s most recent effort back over the timber easy to excuse, Sandy Thompson’s charge has dropped to a handy mark judged on the pick of last season’s novice form so he’s afforded the vote in a race where cases can be made for a few. The main danger could be In Rem, who arrives chasing an impressive 6-timer, while others to consider are Guillemot and Boss Man Fred.
