6 1. Form A quick way to see a horse’s past performance. These are its recent finishing positions.

Look out for letters: C = has won at this course D = has won over this distance CD = has won over this distance at this course BF = was a beaten favourite last time EXPERT VIEW How the experts rate the horse’s chances: 2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse.

3. Timeform view and TFR rating 4. Horse’s trainer & their location Look out for the summary of leading course trainers before each race.

5. Jockey Listen out for any jockeys who are having a successful day.

OTHER USEFUL DETAILS 6. Owner’s colours worn by the jockey 7. Saddlecloth number 8. Horse’s name 9. Days since the horse last run 10. Horse’s age 11. Jockey’s weight (stone and ibs) 12. The horse’s breeding – father (sire) and mother (dam) 13. Horse’s owner 14. Horse’s breeder 15. Birthplace of horse (outside GB)

More information on the form - = New racing season / = Missed racing season P = was pulled-up and didn’t finish the race F = horse fell U = rider unseated R = horse refused to race CO = the horse was forced out of a race by a loose horse B = horse was brought down S = horse slipped r = the horse ran around a jump or took the wrong course in a flat race D = disqualified Bold form figures = performance in All-weather (Flat) or point-to-point (Jump) races

EACH HORSE HAS BEEN GIVEN A STAR RATING, DEFINITION BELOW: Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

Selected to win the race.

Can be given little or no chance.

Good chance of being placed.

By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims.

BET TING WITH THE BOOKMAKERS DIFFERENT WAYS TO BET - WIN OR EACH-WAY

The two main types of bet are win and each-way. For win bets, your horse needs to win the race outright. An each-way bet is effectively two bets – one for your horse to win and one for it to be placed. So a £2 each-way bet will cost £4. A bookmaker taking each-way bets will display the terms on which they accept such bets on their board.

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 3 runners - Win bets only, no places offered • 3 or 4 runners – Win bets only . Where a bookmaker wishes to depart from this default position they may offer place terms at 1/5 odds a place 1-2.

• 5 – 7 runners (inclusive) – 1/4 odds a place 1-2 • 8 or more runners – 1/5 odds a place 1-2-3 • Handicaps with 12 to 15 runners (inclusive) – 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3 • Handicaps with 16 to 21 runners (inclusive) – 1/5 odds a place 1-2-3-4 • Handicaps with 22 or more runners – 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3-4

PL ACING YOUR BET

Shop around for the best odds. When you have decided where to place your bet, state the number of your horse and the stake, for example “Number 4, £2 win”. Listen to the bookmaker repeat the number of the horse and the stake to their clerk and hand them your money. You will then be given an itemised receipt detailing your bet and potential winnings. You should keep this safe until you have heard ‘Weighedin’ announced after the race. If your bet is successful, hand your ticket to the bookmaker and they will give you your winnings.

PLAY SMARTER

Mark Walford has had his team in decent form in recent months and JOHNSON’S BLUE might be up to landing a second course win of the spring, with the step up to around 3m a potential catalyst for further improvement. Ribeye, a fairly easy winner at Newcastle last time, and the consistent Atomic Angel head the dangers.

PLAY SMARTER

A leap of faith is required in supporting KATPOLI judged on this season’s exploits over fences but he holds sound claims on these terms nevertheless eased considerably in grade/ back over hurdles and may well have enough to come out on top.

Stewards Note: SAINT ARVANS: Following its run on 4/4/2022 it was reported that the horse was unsuited by the slow ground.

PLAY SMARTER

This looks a good opportunity for STONEY MOUNTAIN to open his chasing account.

He ran up to his useful best over hurdles when winning at Newbury in November and can improve on what he has shown over fences so far. He can get the better of chase debutants Floating Rock and Saint Arvans, with the former the danger as the higher rated of the pair over hurdles.

RACEHORSE & JOCKEY WELFARE Hexham Racecourse employs 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 the 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.
