WELCOME E TO HEXHAM

It is a pleasure to welcome all Owners, Trainers and Racegoers to Britain’s Most Scenic Racecourse, we hope everyone enjoys the live action on the track here, featuring the most important 3yo race of the day “The Juvenile Hurdle” as well as racing on TV ‘s and the large screen from Epsom where the Derby is taking place todays richest 3yo race

Due to recent industry discussions and an announcement by the BHA, in 2024 and 2025 could see the first race at this and our other Saturday fixtures in May and June going off at 4.00pm instead of a usual start time of between 1.00pm – 2.00pm. This is due to the creation by the BHA of Premier Fixtures which will be allowed to run races in a protected time slot of between 2.00pm – 4.00pm. Hexham does not meet the criteria for a Premier Fixture therefore we will be pushed into a later starting time We will keep everyone updated once the BHA finalise details and more information is available

Thanks today go to Quarrell family who have sponsored the third race for Michael to mark his recent retirement together with today’s other sponsors Equestrianeye.com, Langley Castle Hotel and N-E Bet.

Whilst on the racecourse should you require assistance please contact the racecourse office situated next to the turnstiles or ask any member of racecourse, stewarding or catering staff who will happily assist

I hope all Owners, Trainers and Racegoers in attendance today have an enjoyable and successful day.

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

PLACING 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

FORM 615P33-

TIMEFORM VIEW Back to winning ways in claiming hurdle at Leicester in February Not in the same form since, including a well-held third in 20.5f Ayr handicap on yard debut in April, but dangerous to discount having been dropped to a clear career-low mark.

TFRHHHHI BHA97

FORM F6P0-23

TIMEFORM VIEW Has a reduced mark to work with and better signs when placed in a 21f Kelso handicap hurdle and 2 1/2m course handicap chase last month. One to consider back up in trip.

TFRHHHII BHA94

FORM 22551-P

TIMEFORM VIEW Displayed a good attitude when opening her hurdles account back from a break at Wetherby (3m, soft) in April but needs to shrug off a below par run over this C&D since.

Stewards Note:

TFRHHHII BHA78

FORM 5065U-6

TIMEFORM VIEW Modest form in bumpers and has yet at attain even that level over hurdles, finishing a well-held sixth of 12 over 2 1/2m at Newcastle on her completed start in handicaps. Does leave the impression this longer trip will suit, though.

TIMEFORM VIEW Having his 27th start (including Flat) when finally off the mark in C&D handicap 11 days ago. A 5lb rise isn’t too severe if showing up here in the same form.

TFRHHIII BHA64

FORM 2///000P-3

TIMEFORM VIEW Point winner back in 2020 but offered little in 5 starts over jumps since, achieving little of worth when a remote third on Market Rasen chase debut 12 days ago. First-time cheekpieces (added to tongue strap) need to make a difference.

PLAY SMARTER

John McConnell has a 50% strike-rate at Hexham so the vote in this opening handicap hurdle goes to RESERVE JUDGEMENT who took a step forward when sixth at Punchestown when last seen in February and has a less-exposed profile than the majority of today’s rivals. Jimmy Rabbitte and recent C&D scorer Buto may give him most to do.

DECLARED RUNNERS 6

TFRHHHII BHAFORM

TIMEFORM VIEW Modest form on Flat (stays 9.5f), won handicap at Wolverhampton in April, but failed to repeat that effort at Bath last time. In the right hands to make it as a hurdler

TFRHHHHI BHAFORM

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1 1/4m), won at Newcastle in May respectable third last time. Must enter calculations on hurdle debut.

TFRHHHHH BHAFORM

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair performer on Flat who showed improved form to get off the mark at Southwell (11.1f) in March. Sold from John & Thady Gosden for £16,000 subsequently and has been gelded. Interesting hurdling debutant.

TFRHHIII BHAFORM

TIMEFORM VIEW Modest maiden on the Flat but will need to better that form now switching to hurdling.

TFRHHHHI BHAFORM

TIMEFORM VIEW Half-sister to fair 17f hurdle winner Thea. Fair on Flat in France (stays 10.5f), won claimer at Toulouse last time (claimed after for €11,112). Respected on hurdles debut.

2022: FREE CHAKARTE (FR) 3 10 5 Tom Scudamore 6-5 (David Pipe) 8 ran

Running for the first time since Gelding No. 1, 4.

Probable S.P’s: 5-2 Waitara (FR), 3-1 Uncle Matthew (IRE), 4-1

Indication Rocket (IRE), 13-2 City of Ruins (GB), 7-1 Hourless (GB), 18-1 Max of Stars (FR)

UNCLE MATTHEW is just about the pick on Flat form having run to a Timeform rating in the low 70s when winning at Southwell in March, so he’s the tentative selection to make a successful hurdling debut. Waitara and Indication Rocket are others who make appeal.

AZOF DES MOTTES has taken well to fences and had more in hand than the bare margin suggests at Kelso 7 weeks ago. He can defy a 3lb rise at the main expense of Derracrin, who made a winning chase debut over C&D 11 days ago. Budarri looks best of the others.

LORD CAPRIO stayed well on the Flat and finished to good effect over 2m here last time, so he might be able to up his game trying this distance for the first time. Chancer Dancer is open to improvement and looks a threat, while market support for Female Approach would look significant.

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.

This Racecourse operates under the Terms and Conditions of Racecourse Guidance as set out by The Racecourse Association, a full copy of which is available in the Raceday Office
