THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS

WELCOME

A warm welcome to you all this afternoon and thank you for joining us for our Sky Bet Sunday Series Raceday.

With over £200,000 in prize money up for grabs across seven races today, I’m pleased that we’ve been rewarded with some excellent field sizes across much of the card. The Sky Bet Sunday Series is a fantastic initiative and my thanks go to Sky Bet as well as the British Horse Racing Authority, Racecourse Media Group and ITV Racing, all of whom have played a key part in the development of this series which is now in it’s third year Particular thanks go to all of the Owners, Trainers, Jockey’s and Stable Staff for their support of today’s fixture, it’s great for us to be welcoming Horsemen from across the UK and Ireland to Hamilton Park as well as the cameras from ITV Racing who will be broadcasting all of today’s action on ITV4.

There are some fantastic bonuses and prizes linked to the Sky Bet Sunday Series which should provide some excellent competition over the six fixtures in the series. These include;

• £10,000 Jockey Cup - At each Fixture of the 2023 Sky Bet Sunday Series, the jockey to accrue the most points across the 7 races of the Fixture will win £10,000.

• £100,000 to the Owner of the first horse to win 3 races in the Series

• Stable Staff prizes to the three leading stables with guaranteed prizes of £10,000 (1st), £3,000 (2nd) and £2,000 (3rd), based on points from winners, seconds, thirds. Enhancing Best Turned Out awards of £250 per race (split for 1st, 2nd and 3rd) for all races in the Series, to ensure Stable Staff are rewarded for their work preparing their horses for each race.

The competition for the new Jockey Cup is already proving to be a popular target, with Connor Beasley scooping the first £10,000 prize at Musselburgh last month. Connor has three rides today and will be hoping for a strong showing but I’m sure the twenty-eight other jockeys competing today will have their eye on the prize. 17-year-old star apprentice Billy Loughnane also joins us to make his Hamilton Park debut and I wish him luck as he takes on the famous Hamilton Park hill for the first time

With so many runners this afternoon we’re sure to see some extremely competitive racing throughout the card. The Sky Bet Sunday Series Fillies’ Handicap at 4.45pm has a full field of fifteen set to go to post, with the Ollie Pears-trained Crown Prince looking to repeat last year’s victory which saw her win by a short head over the same distance Jim Goldie has targeted this race with three runners including A La Francaise and Graces Quest for owners Summerstorm Bloodstock who have a good strike-rate here and could well challenge for the win.

The 6.15pm Sky Bet Sunday Series Stayers Handicap is over our longest trip of 1 mile, 5 furlongs, with our unique starting position beyond the winning post. This looks another excellent contest with course and distance winners Captain Haddock and Haizoom set to go head-to-head once again. Haizoom took last years contest by just a neck from Captain Haddock, but with today’s weights and a strong field it’s sure to be another close race

We’re delighted to be welcoming the team of Oli Bell, Luke Harvey, Leonna Mayor and Timeform’s Dan Barber who will be presenting ITV Racing’s live coverage, whilst Love Island star Frankie Foster will be sharing stories from around the course on Racing TV’s Instagram page, so do use #Raceday if you are using social media this afternoon.

Once the on-track action has finished, DJ Stevie Lennon will be hosting our after-party in the Parade Ring Marquee along with the fantastic Gav On Sax. It should be a great way to end the evening and the bar is open until 8.45pm, so do stay on after the last race to enjoy the party Have a wonderful raceday and I hope you back a few winners!

Kind regards,

ASHLEY MOON, RACECOURSE MANAGING DIRECTOR

RACING JARGON BUSTER

Do not be put off by the weird terms you may hear on the racetrack. Like any traveller in a strange country, the novice racegoer will soon pick up a smattering of the language, and then rapidly become fluent. The following might help those racegoers keen to enhance their language skills.

ACCUMULATOR bet involving two or more selections in different races: winnings from one are placed on the next

ALLOWANCE is the weight concession the horse is given to compensate for its rider’s inexperience

ALL WEATHER RACING flat racing which takes place on an artificial surface

COURSE SPECIALIST horse which tends to run well at a particular track

DAM mother of a horse

DISTANCE the length of a race: 5 furlongs is the minimum and the 4 1⁄2 miles of the Grand National the longest. Also, the margin by which a horse wins or is beaten by the horse in front: this ranges from a short head to ‘by a distance’ (more than 30 lengths); a ‘length’ is measured from the horse’s nose to the start of its tail

DISTANCE an unmarked point 240 yards from the winning post (thus ‘below the distance’ means closer home than that point)

DRAW for flat racing only, describes a horse’s position in the starting stalls, drawn randomly the day before

EVENS or EVEN MONEY when your stake exactly equals your winnings - thus £5 at evens wins a further £5

FILLY female horse up to four years old

FOAL horse of either sex from the time of its birth until 1 January the following year

FURLONG 220 yards (one eighth of a mile)

GELDING castrated horse

GOING the description of conditions underfoot on the racecourse Official Jockey Club going reports progress as follows: Heavy - soft - good to soft - good - good to firmfirm - hard

GREEN (of a horse) inexperienced

HAND unit of four inches in which a horse’s height is measured, at the shoulder

JOLLY betting parlance for the favourite in a race - the horse with the shortest odds

JUDGE official responsible for declaring the finishing order of a race and the distances between the runners

JUVENILE two-year-old horse

MAIDEN horse which has not won a race

MARE female horse five years and over

MONKEY betting parlance for £500

ODDS ON odds where the winnings are less than the stake (which is of course returned to you): thus a winning £2 bet at 2-1 on wins you £1

OFF THE BIT/OFF THE BRIDLE describes a horse being pushed along by his jockey, losing contact with the bit in his mouth

ON THE BIT/ON THE BRIDLE describes a horse going well within himself, still having a grip on the bit

OVER THE TOP where a horse is said to have gone if he has passed his peak for the season

PACE ‘up with the pace’ means close to the leaders; ‘off the pace’ means some way behind the leaders

PADDOCK area of the racecourse incorporating the pre-parade ring, parade ring and winner’s enclosure

PATTERN the elite races, divided in Flat racing into Groups One, Two, Three and Listed

PENALTY weight added to the allotted handicap weight of a horse which has won since the weights were originally published

PHOTO FINISH electronic photographic device which determines minimal distances in a close finish

PLATE shoe worn by horse for racing

PONY betting parlance for £25

RULE 4 betting rule covering deductions made from winning bets if a horse is withdrawn after the betting market has been formed but before the ‘Under Starter’s Orders’ signal; the amount deducted depends on the price of the withdrawn horse

RUN FREE describes a horse going too fast, usually early in the race, to allow it to settle

SCOPE the potential for physical development in a horse

TIC-TAC the bookmaker’s method of relaying odds information on the racecourse, by means of hand signals

WEIGH IN/WEIGH OUT weighing of jockey before and after a race to ensure that the correct weight has been carried; the announcement ‘weighed in’ signals that the result is official, and all bets can be settled

YANKEE combination bet involving four selections in different races: six doubles, four trebles and one four-horse accumulator - eleven bets

YEARLING horse of either sex from 1st January to 31st December of the year following its birth

THE SKY BET SUNDAY SERIES EBF MAIDEN STAKES (CLASS 3) (GBB RACE)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This race is a five furlongs maiden stakes for two-year-olds. Maiden races provide a starting point for young horses that are yet to record a victory and most will be very lightly-raced or be making their racecourse debuts. Previous experience can count for a lot when searching for the winner but well-bred or precocious juveniles are more than capable of landing the prize at the first time of asking.

RACE STATISTICS

R Fahey (40 wins from 224 runners, 18%) runs GOLDEN MIND

BETTING FORECAST: 7-4 Moonstone Boy (IRE),

RACE SUMMARY: MOONSTONE BOY took a significant step forward from his debut when pulling well clear with a promising newcomer at Musselburgh a fortnight ago With further improvement on the cards, Iain Jardine’s charge can go a place better Alice Haynes has made a good start to 2023 with her juveniles and Golden Arrow is put forward as the main danger ahead of fellow newcomer Golden Mind before market clues.

THE RACE TO A CURE FOR MND 3YO SPRINT HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a six furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds only which have been rated from 0 to 80. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than a lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.

RACE SUMMARY: The strength behind MOUNTAIN WARRIOR in the betting on his last 2 novice runs suggests he’s well regarded by the Ed Bethell stable and he can make a successful switch to handicap company. Quintus Arrius and Mereside Diva are feared most after near misses on their recent handicap debuts.

THE SKY BET SUNDAY SERIES FILLIES’ HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile and one furlong handicap race for threeyear-olds and upwards fillies and mares only which have been rated from 0 to 85. 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.

RACE SUMMARY: A highly competitive handicap but it’s still hard to ignore the claims of IATO’S ANGEL, who has taken her form up a level this spring and looks weighted to go in again. Unexposed pair Nigwa and Zarabanda appeal as the types to take a sizeable step forward and can chase home Keith Dalgleish’s improver in that order. Balalaika and Invisible Friend complete the shortlist.

5.15pm

THE SKY BET SUNDAY SERIES MILE HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 90. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb

RACE STATISTICS

Leading course trainer (17-22): K Dalgleish (49 wins from 394 runners, 12%) runs WHAT’S THE STORY

Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): D O’Meara (8 wins from 52 runners, 15%) runs PISANELLO and YOUNG FIRE

THE SKY BET SUNDAY SERIES SPRINT HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a five furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 90. Like most handicaps on the flat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is. This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is considered a disadvantage

BETTING FORECAST: 11-2 Mister Camacho (IRE), 13-2 Fairmac (GB), 15-2 Ravenscraig Castle (GB), 8-1 Geremia (IRE), 9-1 Captain Haddock (IRE), 10-1 Dundory (IRE), 11-1 World Without Love (GB), Clansman (GB), 14-1 Haizoom (GB), 20-1 Heights of Abraham (IRE), 40-1 Two Auld Pals (IRE), 50-1 Buxted Reel (IRE)

RACE SUMMARY: A highly-competitive staying handicap, in which last year’s runner-up CAPTAIN HADDOCK can go one better after an encouraging return at Doncaster. He has a previous C&D win to his name and still remains well treated on last season’s best form, so gets the nod ahead of recent Musselburgh 1-2 Fairmac and Ravenscraig Castle in a race where cases can be made for most.

THE SKY BET SUNDAY SERIES MIDDLE DISTANCE HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile and three furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 85. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than a lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.
