THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS

WELCOME

A warm welcome to our Phoenix Utilities Lanark Silver Bell Racenight, which is set to be another historic evening for Hamilton Park as we host our richest raceday ever.

Tonight’s feature race for the Lanark Silver Bell has been a highlight of our racing calendar since 2008 and will be run as a prestigious Heritage Handicap for the second time this evening following it’s upgrade last year. With prize money of £100,000 up for grabs, it continues to be the richest race in the Hamilton park programme and we have further enhanced tonight’s card with the addition of a Class 2 Novice race worth £50,000 as well as a new Class 3 sprint race worth £20,000 – I for one cannot wait for tonight’s action to get underway and see who’s name will be etched into the history of the Lanark Silver Bell.

Our title sponsor this evening is Phoenix Utilities Ltd, who have signed up to a multi-year deal to support this fixture. This company is one of the fastest growing and innovative utility providers across Scotland and having them support our most historic race meeting is fantastic. We wish Ashley and the team at Phoenix Utilities and all of the company’s guests a wonderful evening. We have a full card of valued sponsors this evening including the European Breeders Fund, Contraflow Traffic Management, Whysettle IT, PDM Buildbase, Darley Stallions, Elmwood Projects and Patersons of Greenoakhill. Thank you all for your continued support of Hamilton Park and I hope you enjoy tonight’s racing and entertainment.

At 6.55pm our attentions will focus on our feature race, the Phoenix Utilities Ltd Lanark Silver Bell, where we have a full field of high-quality runners set to contest our richest race of the season At the top of the weights we have the George Boughey-trained Hidden Dimples and Chillingham, trained by Ed Bethell. Both trainers are yet to win the Silver Bell and will be keen to add their name to the roll of honour for the first time Roger Varian runs Postileo in the familiar colours of Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum, who won the Buttonhook Handicap on our opening day in May.

Last year’s winner of this race was the Jim Goldie-trained WickyWickyWheels for our Champion Owner Jimmy Long who is declared to run in tomorrow’s Sky Bet Ebor Heritage Handicap at York and so we wish them the very best of luck. Jim has targeted the Silver Bell once again this year with three runners, with veteran 11yr old Sir Chauvelin looking to go one better than his second place in last year’s race Charlie Johnston has also targeted the fixture and will be looking to continue his winning form after his hat-trick here last week. Charlie is double-handed in this year’s renewal with Hadrianus and Struth set to feature with the Middleham-based yard hoping to build on their fantastic record in the historic Silver Bell race, having trained five previous winners in the fifteen years since it’s introduction in 2008.

After racing this evening we welcome back the ever popular George Bowie and his GBX Anthems. Grab a glowstick and get your dancing shoes on as he is sure to have the crowd dancing through until 10pm tonight.

As we head towards September, our season is still going strong with four more fixtures taking us to the season finale on Monday 2 October Our next fixture is on Tuesday 5 September for the final evening meeting of the year, with a short break before our fixtures on the September holiday weekend which includes our Maggie’s Goes Racing Family Raceday on 25 September. Be sure to take advantage of the best prices for tickets on our website at www.hamilton-park.co.uk, as we have some excellent discounts available when you book in advance

Have a great evening and I hope you back a winner or two!

Kind regards,

ASHLEY MOON, RACECOURSE MANAGING DIRECTOR

NURSERY HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4)

RACE DESCRIPTION

A nursery is a handicap that is restricted to two-year-olds only In order to be allowed to take part, entrants must have already run in three maiden or novice races, or have won two races, which then qualifies them for an official handicap rating based on what they have achieved so far. Quite simply, the higher their rating, the bigger the weight they have to carry. This particular six furlongs race is for horses which have been rated from 0 to 80.

RACE STATISTICS

Leading course trainer (17-22):

K Ryan (32 wins from 137 runners, 23%) runs IRISH NECTAR

Trainer-in-form (last 14 days):

D O’Meara (6 wins from 60 runners, 10%) runs INDIVAR

Longest Traveller:

FUSTERLANDIA trained by D F Davis, Lambourn, 367 miles.

BETTING FORECAST: 5-2 Fusterlandia (IRE), 11-4 Granny Budgie (GB), 10-3 Woodleigh (IRE), 13-2 Indivar (IRE), 7-1 Irish Nectar (GB)

RACE SUMMARY: Much will depend on what the weather does. If the ground is good to soft or slower, WOODLEIGH would have a serious chance, provided he is able to build on his improved nursery debut second at Thirsk where he pulled nicely clear of the rest If it’s good or faster, Fusterlandia will surely go close off what looks a fair mark, while Granny Budgie, who has won on good/good to soft, is also feared on the back of her recent Ripon success.

THE WHYSETTLE IT NETWORKS EBF MAIDEN STAKES (CLASS 4) (GBB RACE)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This race is a one mile 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.

EBF 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 61 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 STATISTICS

Leading course trainer (17-22): T Easterby (26 wins from 208 runners, 12%) runs GOLDEN MELODY

RACE SUMMARY: DANDY’S ANGEL has struck up a fine partnership with useful claimer Ryan Sexton, the pair registering their third victory together at Beverley last week. A 5lb penalty may not prevent further success here. Anjo Bonita and Alethiometer can also make their presence felt.

Fourth Race

6.20pm

THE DARLEY EBF NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 2) (GBB RACE)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This contest is another Novice Stakes, this time run over a distance of one mile and three furlongs. There are a variety of reasons why the three-year-olds in this race are still light on experience Stoutly bred horses are unlikely to be seen at their best over the shorter distances of their juvenile season whilst a setback or injury can curtail even the most precociously bred horse’s two-year-old career

RACE STATISTICS

Leading course trainer (17-22):

W Haggas (8 wins from 22 runners, 36%) runs

Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): C Johnston

KINGFISHER KING

(12 wins from 76 runners, 16%) runs KING OF THE PLAINS

Longest Traveller: MAXIDENT trained by D F Davis, Lambourn, 367 miles & GATHER YE ROSEBUDS trained by J Channon, West Ilsley, both 367 miles.

BETTING FORECAST: 5-4 Gather Ye Rosebuds (GB), 3-1 Kingfisher King (GB), 4-1 Maxident (GB), 11-2 King of The Plains (IRE), 66-1 Clash of The Ash (IRE)

RACE SUMMARY: GATHER YE ROSEBUDS looked a smart prospect when winning by a wide margin at Newbury on debut and, having been unsuited by conditions in the Musidora next time, she can get back on track returned to softer ground.

LORD CORNETS CLUB

We are delighted to welcome the Lanark Lord Cornet 2023, Ross Fitzgerald to Hamilton Park this evening, as well as other members of the Lord Cornets’ Club

The Lanimer Celebrations consist of nearly a week-long series of events. Lanimer Day itself usually falls on the Thursday between the 6th and 12th June each year.

Inthepastthesecelebrationshavebeenreferredto under several names - Landemuir day, landemuris, Landmarches, Ryding of the Merches, etc. All are versions or corruptions of Land Marches. When the Crown established Royal Burghs, as part of the contract, the burgesses of the town had to examine the march stones every year and report that all was well or ill according to what they found. The checking of Lanark’s March Stones is the source of today’s much expanded celebrations.

Lanark is one of the oldest Royal Burghs in Scotland, its Charter being granted by King David I (1124-1153). Lanark may be unique in being the only Burgh that has checked its boundaries each year since it was established c.1140. In 1588 the Burgh records describe the Lanimers as being ‘ancient and yearly’. The checking of such bounds was taken seriously by the Crown.

Today there are 17 march stones situated at various points around the burgh lands, a few of which are relatively new being replacements for those “lost” over the years. Most of the replacements were installed to mark the Millennium, with the latest replacement march stones installed in 2015.

What started as a simple duty soon turned into an annual festival, “The Lanimers”. Originally all the events were packed into Lanimer Day but gradually during the late 19th and early 20th Century the celebrations began to expand to fill the whole week. What started as a “business practice” carried out by paid officials of the Town Council, had by the 17th century evolved into a more enjoyable affair with the burgesses vying with each other for the honour of carrying the Burgh Standard on Lanimer Day. The person appointed for the year became known at first as the Standard Bearer, then as the Cornet and is nowadays most often referred to as the ‘Lord Cornet’.

One of the highlights of the festivities is undoubtedly the Evening Ride Out by the Lord Cornet, Ex-Lord Cornets and friends to examine the March stones on the west, east and south sides of the town. As part of the evening’s proceedings horse races are held for participants of the ride out. A range of races takes place from those on ponies to one for Ex-Lord Cornets and for one of theoldesthorse racesanywhere - The Burgh Spurs. After covering further countryside thegroup stops at nearby New Lanark for rest and refreshments. Prizes for the winners of the races are distributed and the Lanimer Queen is presented with a Loving Cup by New Lanark Community Council. The group then reforms and returns cross country to Lanark.

Lanimer Day is the main day of the celebrations and is packed with activity and is also the longest of the week. The official day starts with the uplifting of the Lord Cornet from his house by members of the Lord Cornets’ Club led by Strathclyde Police Mounted Branch. This cavalcade then proceeds to the Lanark Memorial Hall where the Lord Cornet and his entourage greet the many visiting Principals and other guests. This is followed by the “Safe Oot, Safe In” toast given by the Provost of South Lanarkshire. The Lord Cornet and his party then form a procession and proceed to Hope Street and Bloomgate where they are met by massed bands and make their way via the Cross to St. Leonard Street where the rest of the participants in the Morning Procession have assembled. The Lord Cornet then leads the procession of mounted Cornets, walking dignitaries, decorated floats and Queen’s pageantry around the streets in the town before the Crowning of The Lanimer Queen.

We do hope the Lord Cornet Ross and his guests enjoy their evening at Hamilton Park.

LANARK SILVER BELL

Tonight will see the near 1,000 year old Lanark Silver Bell trophy being contested for the fifteenth time in 46 years having been run at Lanark Racecourse until 1977 and being reinstated at Hamilton Park in 2008.

2022 saw the race upgraded to a prestigious Heritage Handicap and with prize money of £100,000 on offer. This year's fixture has made history again as it is Hamilton Park's richest ever raceday with total prize money set to exceed £212,000.

Ashley Moon, Racecourse Managing Director at Hamilton Park said: “It’s fantastic to be able to continue to invest in the Lanark Silver Bell fixture making it the richest raceday in our history worth £212,150, including the Lanark Silver Bell Heritage Handicap worth £100,000. We are delighted to have attracted a quality field from across the UK.

The upgrade of the programme sees our continued ambitions realised, as we have always aimed to develop this historic fixture. I can’t wait to see who’s name will be added to the history of the Bell.”

The Lanark Silver Bell is in the permanent collection of South Lanarkshire Council’s Museums department, along with 150,000 other objects in the highly accredited Low Parks Museum.

Jim Goldie-trained Wickywickywheels, under jockey Tadgh O'Shea, wins the 2022 Lanark Silver Bell Handicap

THE HISTORY OF THE BELL

The Lanark Silver Bell is one of the most ancient Racing Trophies in Britain, yet its origins are disputed. The Bell disappeared without trace for many years. It was rediscovered in 1836 in Lanark Town Council’s vaults when they were in the process of moving to their new offices in Hope Street.

Many believed the Bell to have been gifted from King William ‘The Lion’ of Scotland in approximately 1165. If this were the case, the trophy would be the oldest in the world!

The Silver Bell was a highly acclaimed race competed for annually at Lanark Racecourse. The old inscriptions on the trophy suggest that Sir Johne Hamilton of Trabovn was one of the first winners, in 1628, to have their name engraved on such a prestigious prize.

The last ever running of the Lanark Silver Bell at Lanark Racecourse was in 1977. The winner, Border River was owned and trained by Clifford Watts and ridden by David Nicholls.

In 2008, the race was reinstated at Hamilton Park, with the William Haggas trained Tifernati becoming the first winner of the Silver Bell for thirty-one years. This was followed by the aptly named Record Breaker, trained by Mark Johnston, who broke the course record in 2009, giving Johnston Racing their first of five wins under the races previous conditions.

Jim Goldie took the win in 2022, with Wickywickywheels, under jockey Tadgh O'Shea.

LANARK SILVER BELLTROPHY

Tonight riders in the Phoenix �tilities Ltd Lanark Silver Bell Handicap are competing for one of the oldest sporting pri�es in existence. Legend has it that the original trophy was presented as a gift to the people of Lanark by �ing William �The Lion’ in 11��.

In 2012, the racecourse unveiled a new Silver Bell Trophy to complement the original piece, handcrafted by Edinburgh jewelers and warrant holders to Her Majesty the Queen, Hamilton & Inches.

Completed after a detailed six month design process, the 100% sterling silver trophy reflects many of the hallmarks of the original artifact, which has now become too valuable to be presented to winners. With that in mind, the Hamilton Park team decided to make a new trophy with a refreshed contemporary feel, to sit alongside the ancient relic.

Ashley Moon, Racecourse Managing Director said: “We are immensely proud to have been able to commission the new Silver Bell Trophy and present it to the winner of this historic race.

The original trophy is steeped in history, representing such a great part of Lanarkshire’s rich and vibrant heritage, which was the main motivation behind working to preserve its legacy for many generations to come. The trophy’s creation process was an intensive one, ensuring we paid particular attention to many of the trophy’s original features while adding some contemporary flair.”

Frank Gunning, Former Chair of the Royal Burgh of Lanark Community Council said: “Everyone in Lanark is hugely pleased at the continued success of the meeting and the Lanark Silver Bell Handicap.

We are grateful to Hamilton Park racecourse for investing towards the future of the trophy, enshrining its legacy for many years.

It’s a great idea to allow owners to celebrate with the new trophy after winning the race, as well as becoming an eternal part of the Silver Bell’s story when their name is scribed into a winning shield.”

Fifth Race

THE PHOENIX UTILITIES LTD LANARK SILVER BELL HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 2) (HERITAGE HANDICAP)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile and four furlongs handicap race for threeyear-olds. 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): J Goldie (39 wins from 340 runners, 11%) runs FAYLAQ and GEREMIA and SIR CHAUVELIN

Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): C Johnston (12 wins from 76 runners, 16%) runs HADRIANUS and STRUTH

Longest Traveller: CITY STREAK trained by A Balding, Kingsclere, 387 miles.

BETTING FORECAST: 11-2 Chillingham (IRE), 6-1 Paddy The Squire (GB), 15-2 City Streak (GB), 17-2 Struth (IRE), 11-1 Beraz (FR), 14-1 Two Brothers (GB), 16-1 Postileo (IRE), Dark Jedi (IRE), 18-1 Hadrianus (IRE), 20-1 Geremia (IRE), 22-1 Oneforthegutter (GB), 25-1 Faylaq (GB), 28-1 Hidden Dimples (IRE), 40-1 Matchless (IRE), 50-1 Sir Chauvelin (GB)

RACE SUMMARY: With this step up in trip expected to help unlock further improvement, unexposed 3-y-o PADDY THE SQUIRE gets the nod. A 5lb rise for his latest success following a second wind op at Ayr looks fair and while conditions were testing that day, he proved that he handles better ground when runner-up on his penultimate start at Pontefract. Chillingham also has low mileage and is next on the list ahead of the Charlie Johnston-trained duo, Struth and Hadrianus (in order of preference), and City Streak.

THE PATERSONS OF GREENOAKHILL HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a five furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 71 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
