Huntingdon Racecard - Sunday 5th December by Weatherbys

THE JOCKEY CLUB WELCOMES YOU

A very warm welcome to Huntingdon for our most prestigious raceday of the year, Fitzdares Peterborough Chase Day. We are very grateful to Fitzdares for their generous sponsorship of all seven races this afternoon. The feature race is the Grade Two Fitzdares Peterborough Chase, a twoand-a-half-mile chase, which has an illustrious roll of honour. Past winners include some of the sport’s most talented horses, including Desert Orchid, Remittance Man, Dublin Flyer, One Man, Best Mate, Edredon Bleu and Monet’s Garden. Today’s renewal looks to be a fantastic race on paper, with previous Grade One-winning contenders from some of the most successful trainers in Britain set to line up. Work to reinstate our facilities following the ﬂood damage continues to progress well and I am pleased to say that Gurney’s Bar, whilst not operational, is now back open. We very much appreciate your patience as we work to return all facilities back to full use. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jack Pryor, our out-going Clerk of the Course, for all the work he has done at Huntingdon Racecourse, particularly during some very challenging times. Jack will remain with The Jockey Club, continuing in his role as Clerk at Market Rasen, while taking on the challenge of becoming Event Director of Blenheim Horse Trials. I would also like to welcome Roderick Duncan, who is taking on the role of Clerk of the Course here and who brings a wealth of experience to the position. Our ‘Boxing Day At The Races’ ﬁxture is always very popular and I am pleased to say this year is no different. If you would like to join us for this wonderful festive occasion, be sure to book early to avoid disappointment. We are continuing to recommend wearing face masks in crowded indoor spaces and checking in via the NHS COVID-19 app. QR codes remain located around the racecourse to enable you to check in should you wish to. I wish all of today’s participants the very best of luck and hope that you have a wonderful time with us at Huntingdon.

PLAY SMARTER

Last-time-out winners MORIKO DE VASSY and Peejaybee possess the scope to raise their game over hurdles, with marginal preference for the Tom Symonds inmate. The impression Balco Coastal created in an AW bumper is still fresh in the memory and he demands consideration now hurdling.

PLAY SMARTER

The vote goes to OSCAR ELITE, who might well have made a winning start over fences had he not departed 3 out when going best at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago. He’s an exciting chasing prospect and, provided he’s none the worse for that spill, he can make amends. Barbados Buck’s should be much sharper than on chase debut/ reappearance so he’s feared most with the blinkers ﬁtted, ahead of Honest Vic.

PLAY SMARTER

Lots with chances in a very open handicap. ANNUAL REVIEW has shaped with promise on both his runs over 2m since joining Fergal O’Brien so gets the nod with the switch to handicaps and a longer trip expected to suit this son of Yeats. Well-weighted C&D scorer Rock The House is next on the list, although a market move for Irish-raider Vee Dancer would put a different slant on things.

PLAY SMARTER

ALLMANKIND’s Old Roan form has been working out really well so he’s likely to take all the beating again. Master Tommytucker arrives on the back of a good run in similar company at Ascot last month and may provide the chief threat ahead of reappearing pair Funambule Sivola and First Flow.

PLAY SMARTER

ZACONY REBEL was well in command at the ﬁnish when off the mark at Fontwell a couple of months ago and the form has a very strong look to it, so he’s well fancied to defy a mark of 124 on his ﬁrst go in a handicap. The likeable Sorbet should put up another bold bid and Restandbethankful could make more of an impression now down in grade.

PLAY SMARTER

PRESENTING NELLY did well to get up late on her debut and the form has been boosted by the runner-up subsequently, so she could improve enough to defend her unbeaten record stepped up in class. Flying Sara’s recent second at Cheltenham is the best piece of form on show, so she’s a big player, while Good Luck Charm is unlikely to be far away.

IMPORTANT NOTICES Admission & Conditions Of Entry

Emergency Evacuation

• Entry to the racecourse is subject to the right of the Racecourse Executive to refuse to admit and/or to expel, without prior notice, any person whose behaviour is considered to be unruly or unacceptable or is a disqualiﬁed person.

Huntingdon Racecourse has significantly enhanced Safety and Security measures this year to enhance your safety, comfort and enjoyment of the day. However, an incident may occur which is beyond our control and it is important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency. As part of our safety management, we have employed professionally trained and experienced stewards and you will see them at various points throughout the racecourse. In the event of a situation, which requires partial or full evacuation of the stands or racecourse, announcements will be broadcast and stewards will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your immediate belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and calmly with the guidance of the stewards. The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area. Should it be necessary to evacuate the course itself, there will be two main options; firstly to return to your vehicles if safe to do so and leave via the main entrance. Secondly, should it not be safe to return to your vehicles, you will be requested to leave via an emergency evacuation gate, either to the assembly Point behind the Clubhouse, overflow to the picnic car park or if both these areas are compromised then to use the Centre of the Course, where you will receive further instructions. It may give you peace of mind if you pre plan and agree a meeting place, just in case you become separated from your party. The above is precautionary only and we trust that the procedures will never be required.

Racehorse & Jockey Welfare The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority. The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation. The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Oﬃcials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards. In addition Huntingdon Racecourse employs three 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 vinvolving a jockey.

If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving 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. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.

Photography Racegoers please note it is not permitted to take photographs on racecourses except within the areas normally open to the public. Amateur photographers must ensure that they do not intrude upon areas used by professional photographers. Flash photography is not permitted in any circumstances.
