The winner will receive a Hospitality package for 2 in our Henderson Room in 2026, 2nd prize will be a 2026 Annual Membership and 3rd prize will receive a Hospitality package for 2 in the Curlew Room in 2026.

We are delighted to welcome back Willie Richardson and his guests, sponsors of the third race together with Paxtons regular visitors and sponsors at the course. Our Thanks also go to Hexham Oncourse Bookmakers and The Ursa Major Syndicate for their continued sponsorship at the course.

We also welcome Robert and Helen Carr Smith and pleased they have chosen “Britains Most Scenic Racecourse” to celebrate their wedding anniversary.

As a result of our fixture on Wednesday 19th November being abandoned when the NHS were going to be present offering advice on Bowel Cancer, they have agreed to come along today and are located under the canopy adjoining the saddling boxes please take time to speak to them.

Whether you are a first time visitor or regular at the course we hope you have an enjoyable and successful day. Anyone seeking assistance please contact the racecourse office situated next to the turnstiles or ask any member of racecourse, catering or stewarding staff who will be pleased to assist.

Today’s fixture is the last of 2025, we would like to take this opportunity of wishing everyone Seasons Greetings and look forward to seeing you all on 12th March at our “Cheltenham Thursday Fixture”.

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.
