WELCOME TO HEXHAM W E L C O M E T O B R I TA I N ’ S M O S T S C E N I C R A C E C O U R S E O N O U R O C T O B E R R A C E D AY. THE RACECOURSE EXECUTIVE EXTEND A WARM WELCOME TO ALL OWNERS, TRAINERS AND RACEGOERS AND HOPE YOU HAVE AN ENJOYABLE AND SUCCESSFUL AFTERNOON. I would like to thank today’s sponsors, MKM Building Supplies, Hexham, who have brought along friends and customers together with Jamie Gordon for sponsoring a race in memory of the late Mick Blair. Our main sponsors today are Newcastle Falcons Events our catering partners who are responsible for all on course hospitality, we hope their staff and players have a wonderful afternoon.

The Premier Project which forms part of the British Racing Industry Strategy two year trial commences next year, three of our Saturday fixtures in May and June 2024 will be affected whereby we will be required to start at 4.00pm or later. This is designed to create a shop window in prime viewing time enabling Premier Fixtures and racing to be better marketed with the aim of encouraging a new audience to the sport and increase betting turnover.

Premier Fixtures will also benefit to the tune of a further £3.8million in funding towards extra prize money which will be achieved by reducing funding to core racecourses such as ours by £1.9million and a further contribution of £1.9million from the Levy Board.

I am sure everyone would agree that racing which provides enjoyment to so many, horse racing being the second most attended spectator sport in the country and employment to over 80,000 should be promoted so that it can continue to survive and thrive but not at the expense of Owners and Trainers who provide the horses and Racecourses the facilities at grassroots level where over 80% of fixtures are run.

Whilst on course if 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 be pleased to assist.

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.

Lucinda Russell has her string in excellent nick so her newcomer DANGAN CLOUD, who has shown promise in points, is taken to go in at the first time of asking at the chief expense of fellow newcomer Edgewell who should find this trip to his liking judged on his PLAY SMARTER fair bumper efforts. Minella Double is another debutant who brings potential, while Warwick third Mumford’s Magic needs factoring in too.

Stewards Note: CUDGEL: Following its run on 6/5/2023 it was reported that the horse was badly hampered at the first.

Probable S.P’s: 2-1 Kicksaftersix (IRE), 7-2 Cudgel (GB), 5-1 Augharue (IRE), 6-1 Coeur Aimant (FR), 12-1 Bandit d’Ainay (FR), 14-1 Fearless Action (IRE), 33-1 Hell On Earth (IRE) CUDGEL was in good order when last seen and boasts an excellent track record, so he’s worth taking a chance on after over 5 months off. Kicksaftersix is expected to bounce back

PLAY SMARTER after a break, so he’s regarded as the main danger ahead of Augharue.
