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 “ W I N T E R ” R A C E D AY. THE RACECOURSE EXTENDS A WARM WELCOME TO ALL OWNERS, TRAINERS, RACEGOERS AND HOPE YOU ALL HAVE AN ENJOYABLE AND SUCCESSFUL AFTERNOON. Unfortunately as you will see we have had to abandon all the Steeple Chase races today and run an all Hurdle card. At the time of writing and since racing on Friday 10th November we have had a further 23mls of rain, falling on saturated ground and with more forecast up until race day we had no option but to seek permission from the BHA to take this course of action.

The flexibility we have with the siting of hurdles and the ability to move the majority of the hurdle track on to fresh ground not raced on for some time has allowed us to do this and obtain best possible chance for racing to go ahead.

Thanks go to The European Breeders Fund regular sponsors at this fixture and responsible for the “National Hunt Novices Hurdle” the first race on the card, also Simon Waugh Racing, The Northumberland Racing Club first time sponsors at the course and responsible for the third race on the card. With the Steeple Chase races abandoned BK Racing regular sponsors of the “Long Distance Handicap Chase” at this meeting are off the list today but will be sponsoring the “BK Racing Marathon Handicap Chase” on Thursday 14th March 2024.

Admission tickets together with hospitality packages for all fixtures in 2024 are now on sale. All hospitality packages must be purchased through the office, admission tickets can be purchased online www.hexham-racecourse.co.uk or through the office by calling 01434 606881 during office hours.

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.

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.
