Thank you for joining us at Kelso Racecourse.

Today’s feature race is the 125 Years of Bruce Farms Scottish Borders National, sponsored by Bruce Farms to celebrate a significant milestone in their corporate history. From birthdays and weddings, to anniversaries and commemorations, a day at the races provides the perfect backdrop for every life event whatever you’re celebrating today, we hope that you have a great time.

We are really grateful for the support of today’s race sponsors which, in addition to Bruce Farms, include Visit Kelso, the European Breeders Fund and Racing TV We’d like to thank them and wish all of their guests including several hundred subscribers to Racing TV who are racing at Kelso today a successful afternoon. There is a great programme of racing in prospect with eight races and a field of thirteen declared for the £50,000 feature race, headed by last year’s winner Big River who is bidding for a record breaking ninth career win at Kelso The oldest runner in the race, Big River will face stiff opposition from yards far and near We’d like to extend an especially warm welcome to the connections of all the runners on today’s card your presence, and that of your horses, is greatly appreciated.

Advance ticket sales for this meeting have proved extremely popular and we hope that everyone finds a comfortable niche from which to enjoy the day’s events, despite the appropriately wintry weather Perhaps you’ll enjoy a coffee in the new seating area within the saddling boxes behind the old grandstand, or maybe you’ll snuggle next to the fire on the first floor of the Old Grandstand. Wherever you go, don’t miss the Injured Jockeys’ Fund tradestand which will be located near the parade ring buy your Christmas cards, calendars and gifts today!

Together, the racegoers that frequent Kelso help to create the friendly atmosphere for which the racecourse is known. Thank you for coming!

OFFICIALS THE TEAM

How to Bet

1. Select your horse and note its name and racecard number

2. Choose your bet ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are the two most common types:

• ‘To win’ is for your horse to come frst

• ‘Each-way’ is when you place two bets in one: one for your horse to come frst, the other for it to be placed. Therefore £2 each-way = £4 total bet.

• What qualifes as a ‘place’ depends on the number of runners: between two and four runners frst place only; between five and seven runners frst and second place; eight runners and over frst three places; 16 runners and over (handicaps only) frst four places

• The place part of the bet will be paid out at a fraction of the odds, usually a quarter or a ffth this varies depending on the bookmaker, so check if you are unsure!

3. Decide the amount, also known as the stake that you are comfortable to bet

4. Choose your outlet and place your bet e.g. “£2 win on number three” or “£2 each-way on number six”.

5. If your horse has won, wait to hear “weighed in” over the public address system and then go and collect any winnings!

6. Got so swept up you forgot to collect your cash? There are details of how to collect winning slips after the raceday on our terms and conditions page near the back of the racecard.
