Silver Bell Handicap (Class 3

THE PHOENIX UTILITIES LTD LANARK SILVER BELL HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3)

RACE DESCRIPTION

Our feature race of the day, this is a one mile and four furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 95. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 75 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 70.
