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 “ N E W C A S T L E FA L C O N S R A C E D AY ”.

THE RACECOURSE EXECUTIVE EXTEND A WARM WELCOME TO ALL OWNERS, TRAINERS, SPONSORS AND RACEGOERS TODAY. Today is our last Saturday meeting of 2024, the most popular fixture of the year and I would like to thank the Newcastle Falcons and Events team responsible for all oncourse catering for their sponsorship and support of today’s fixture. Thanks also go to L&R Pest Control Services who have not only sponsored the 2nd race but brought along a team of staff and friends to enjoy the racing.

This meeting along with Chepstow who race today are usually viewed as the start of the National Hunt Season. We only have 3 fixtures remaining this year but this is generally a time when all the horses are being readied for their winter campaigns.

It was this time last year when The Premier Racing Project was being much lauded, how it was seen as a trial to increase prize money for those courses staging such fixtures and improve Great British Racing. The increase in funding to the Premier Fixtures was at the expense of funding to the core fixtures such as ours, however I am pleased to report that we have increased our overall prize money for this fixture albeit by £1,700 despite receiving less funding from the Levy Board.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable and successful days racing.

Robert Whitelock Racecourse Manager

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 lbs) 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.

Good chance of being placed.

Can be given little or no chance.

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.

He can get the better of Coqolino, who stopped the slide from a falling mark at Cartmel in August PLAY SMARTER and should go close providing his jumping holds up.
