Huntingdon Racecard - Tuesday 4th October

THE JOCKEY CLUB WELCOMES YOU

Welcome to Huntingdon Racecourse.

Welcome to Huntingdon for our Season Opener, the first of 19 fixtures that run throughout our 2022/23 season

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our generous sponsors, Racing TV, as well as the Bowen family for supporting the third race on the card; the Skomal Memorial Novices’ Hurdle We also have two races dedicated in loving memory of avid race fans, Phillip Youle and Clive Graham

We have an exciting season ahead, with Fergal O’Brien and Sam Twiston-Davies looking to defend their Fairfax Leading Trainer and Jockey titles Plus, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for possible contenders for the Cheltenham Festival appearing on our course throughout the season

Sharps Bar and Gurneys will be closed today however we invite you to enjoy Lentons and Hurdles bars as well as several outdoor food concession units for you to choose from. Our 2022/23 annual badge packages are now on sale, which includes admission to all our fixtures throughout the season Please enquire in the office today, or purchase these online.

Tickets are available for the much sought-after Peterborough Chase and Boxing Day fixtures via our website: www.thejockeyclub.co.uk/huntingdon or direct from the office Be sure to make the most of the winter season by bringing the whole family down for a grand day out at one of our sensational days of racing

We would like to make you aware that works to improve the exterior of the main grandstand are ongoing and will mean that small sections of the trackside viewing steps will be out of action due to the required scaffolding There will also be some scaffolding on the parade ring side of the Grandstand at various stages over the course of the first part of the race season.

There remains plenty of track side viewing in the remainder of the Grandstand and on the steps of the Cromwell stand and we are working hard to ensure the works are completed as quickly as possible to enhance your raceday experience.

I hope that you have a fantastic time at Huntingdon this afternoon, and with the exciting line up of race days ahead, we would like to wish all the owners, trainers, jockeys and stable staff best of luck for the season.

Emergency Evacuation

Behaviour And Dress Code

The Racecourse reserves the right to refuse admission to all enclosures or to eject any person from the racecourse. When patrons are refused or ejected from the racecourse they will not be entitled to a refund. When leaving the Racecourse please be considerate of our neighbours.

The dress code is smart casual. The Racecourse reserves the right to refuse admission to patrons failing to comply with this request.

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. However, in the event of an emergency, remember; take your belongings with you under the directions of the Stewards, proceed quickly and calmly to the safe area.

Health And Safety Notice

The Racecourse would be grateful if racegoers would observe all Health and Safety requirements whilst at Huntingdon Racecourse. The Emergency Exits from the Bars onto the Grandstand steppings are painted yellow and we would appreciate it if Racegoers would not stop in this area. We would also be grateful if only those that are Disabled use the Disabled Viewing Ramp and that parents keep a close eye on children and prevent them from climbing on the running rails and getting onto the actual racecourse. We would also like to remind racegoers that the FIRST AID room is located on the ground floor of the Cromwell Stand. Public access is prohibited to the Centre Course.

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.

TODAY’S RACE SPONSOR

Who was Skomal?

30 years ago this year, Skomal won two hurdle races in 7 days at Huntingdon.

He was discovered in, and bought from a riding stables in the midlands. He was the sole racehorse in what had to be the smallest national hunt yard in the country. Trained by a husband and wife team, Mally was retired after his two wins and lived on into his twenties.

PLAY SMARTER

RUNWITHTHETIDE proved expensive to follow last season but she’s worth another chance back from a break here off a mark 10lb below that off which she contested her first handicap at Newbury in April (the race in question was a Grade 2 handicap). Moscow Spy figures on a potentially workable mark, too, and he is next on the list ahead of Samatian and handicap-debutant Mole Court.
