WELCOME E TO HEXHAM

THE RACECOURSE EXECUTIVE EXTEND A WARM WELCOME TO ALL OWNERS, TRAINERS AND RACEGOERS AND HOPE YOU HAVE AN ENJOYABLE AND SUCCESSFUL EVENING.

I would like to thank Sky Sports Racing for their generous sponsorship this evening in providing a free race card for all attendees and welcome representatives on course of At The Races the promotional arm of Sky Sports Racing Many thanks also go to George Stoker for sponsoring our second race the “Sue Heslop Loves Phil Kirby Racing Handicap Hurdle”

It is good to be racing again following an 11 week break during which time the grounds team have been busy draining areas of the track, rebuilding steeplechase fences, repairing and re lacing all hurdles with new birch, general maintenance and continually cutting grass.

Those of you who follow the racing press will be aware of the new racing industry strategy trial proposed for 2024, 2025 being formulated by the BHA Racing will undergo a rebranding process with the formulation of approximately 160 Premier Fixtures across both codes, the remaining fixtures being classified as Core

Premier fixtures including all the festival meetings will take place on both weekdays and weekends and are being designed to appeal and attract new audience to racing. All Premier fixtures will commence early afternoon showing the feature races on terrestrial TV in a protected 2 hour window commencing at 2.00pm To facilitate this initiative the racing at Core racecourses will commence either at 11.00am or 4.00pm.

The race programme for the next two years is also being radically changed with a reduction in the number of fixtures taking place across both codes and the introduction of 6 race cards between June and September This fixture next year is one of those that are being culled and as a result we will only have 14 meetings in 2024

There will be other developments emerging as we go through the year and will keep you updated in these notes at future meetings.

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

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

TFRHHIII BHAFORM 6-660

TIMEFORM VIEW Looks one for the longer term on early evidence, tailed off on both outings over hurdles so far Needs this step up in trip to bring out some improvement.

TFRHHHHI BHAFORM 1

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair maiden handicapper on Flat for Keith Dalgleish and ran to a similar level in getting off the mark immediately switched to hurdles at Perth (16.2f, good) last month, leading under pressure final 100 yds. Obvious claims provided she handles the step up in trip.

TFRHHHII BHAFORM P353

PLAY SMARTER

A potential match between LISNAMULT LAD and Belle of Annandale, with marginal preference for the former, who wasn’t seen to best effect but confirmed his liking for this sort of trip when a close third at Downpatrick a couple of months ago. Adrian Keatley’s filly made the perfect start over hurdles at Perth recently so she’s sure to give the selection plenty to think about, with hurdling debutante Rory’s Story worth a market check now stepping up in trip.

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.

TFRHHHII BHA76

FORM 6P6-661 C D

TIMEFORM VIEW Improved to win 9-runner handicap hurdle at Bangor (23f, good, 11/1) 33 days ago. Far from an obvious type to follow up.

TFRHHHII BHA73

FORM 0P-006

TIMEFORM VIEW First form when sixth of 9 on 19.5f Bangor handicap debut 16 days ago. Steps up in trip. Needs improvement to get heavily involved but her unexposed profile provides hope.

PLAY SMARTER

MY GIFT TO YOU hasn’t looked back since joining James Owen and can make it 3 wins in his last 4 starts. John McConnell has a very healthy 10-20 Hexham record so his Battle of Benburb, who sports first-time cheekpieces, could bounce back to form and pose a threat, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Haveyougotmymoney should also have a stay if his stamina holds now stepping up in trip.

DECLARED RUNNERS 11 2022: BON RETOUR (IRE) 7 12 0 Sean Quinlan 13-8 (Nicky Richards) 5 ran

Stewards Note:

BELVEDERE BLAST: Following its run on 22/7/2023 it was reported that the horse was unsuited by the going.

ONWARD ROUTE: Following its run on 4/8/2023 it was reported that the horse bled from the nose.

FENNA’S LOSS: Following its run on 22/7/2023 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.

MALANGEN: Following its run on 19/8/2023 it was reported that the horse edged slightly left-handed.

Probable S.P’s: 4-1 Malangen (IRE), 6-1 Copper Beach (IRE), 15-2 City Derby (IRE), 8-1 Belvedere Blast (IRE), 17-2 Punxsutawney Phil (IRE), 9-1 Cousu Main (FR), 11-1 Fenna’s Loss (IRE), 14-1 Onward Route (IRE), Kajaki (IRE), 40-1 Dallas des Pictons (FR), Calum Gilhooley (IRE)

PLAY SMARTER

MALANGEN has been in good form for a while and, if left alone in front, he looks capable of getting back to winning ways at the likely expense of Copper Beach. City Derby is another one to consider

PLAY SMARTER

MINELLA PLUS has a lowly hurdles mark to exploit and given the promise of his latest effort at Bangor he looks ready to cash in. This represents a drop in grade for Horn Cape and he’s a massive threat, with the veteran Pateen likely to give it another good shot.
