MORE INFORMATION ON THE FORM / P F U R CO B S r

Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.

Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online. Each option offers a different experience.

‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.

‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.

Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.

ANNUAL

MEMBERS NEWSLETTER

Welcome to Haydock Park Annual Members on our last meeting of the year, The Last Fling Day. Welcome to Haydock Park Annual Members on our last meeting of the year, The Last Fling Day.

By The Last Fling, I am not referring to the 1987 Romantic Comedy of the same name, rather the fantastic horse trained by Sue Smith and a quadruple Haydock Park winner, culminating in winning the De Vere Gold Cup as it was then back in 2000. He was a fantastic staying chaser.

Today’s race looks another enthralling renewal and it will take a brave horse to win at the end of nearly three and a half miles.

Today sees a lovely gesture from the racecourse executive of a free luncheon, which is always a wonderful gastronomic delight for Annual Members. We also crown our tipping champion for 2023, with a presentation in the winners enclosure during racing. It gives me pleasure to announce the naps competition will continue in 2024.

A reminder to all - you can renew your membership today for just £410 If you’re thinking of joining, or a present for your significant other, it really is a present which is worthwhile. With an unrivalled list of reciprocals and many excellent days here, it is brilliant value working out at less than £14 per fixture.

We race again in three weeks for The Peter Marsh Chase, which is always a highlight in the glum month of January. Recent winners include Royale Paigaille and Bristol De Mai. Finally, I wish you all a very Happy and prosperous New Year. Thank you for your support this year and have a pleasant and successful days racing.

Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse.

HAPPY AND FINE has been suited by a switch to chasing this season and, given he had something to spare when scoring at Leicester recently, he’s worth a chance to double his tally in this sphere. Regal Blue is one to consider after a solid chasing debut PLAY SMARTER and Ned Tanner looked unlucky not to win on his last completed start, so he’s another one to consider.

RACEHORSE & JOCKEY WELFARE The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority. The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation. The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards.

In addition Haydock Park Racecourse employs a minimum of three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse. In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team. Qualified paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey.

If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.
