WELCOME

Welcome to Kelso Racecourse for bet365 Morebattle Hurdle Day In plain numerical terms, with £310,000 of prize money, this is the most valuable fixture in our calendar But more than that, it’s the day that we look forward to the most because of the quality of the horses and the strength of the competition. It’s a day to savour

The bet365 Morebattle Hurdle is the most valuable hurdle race staged in Scotland and, with 20% more prize money than any of the handicap hurdles staged at the Cheltenham Festival, it’s also one of the richest in Britain.

It’s pleasing, therefore, that this year’s renewal has attracted such a high quality and competitive field. We’re delighted to welcome Benson, last year’s winner, back to Kelso and we wish his connections the very best. However, this day will never be about just one horse or even one race - we are immensely grateful to the connections of all today’s runners, in each of the seven races. Thank you for entering them at Kelso and for sharing the joy with us

Having sponsored the day since 2021, bet365 have helped us to transform the profile of this raceday which now attracts ITV coverage on a regular basis. We are hugely appreciative of the support of bet365, and for the dedicated professionalism of all those that help us to stage racing here at Kelso

Finally, we’d like to thank all of the racegoers who have attended today You bring the friendly atmosphere for which Kelso is so well known and, together with the horses, you light up our day Have a fabulous afternoon and, when you return next year, please bring two friends!

How to Bet

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

Official BHA rating

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

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

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

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

• The place part of the bet will be paid out at a fraction of the odds, usually a quarter or a fifth - 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.

Please gamble responsibly For more information visit www.gambleaware.co.uk

PLAY SMARTER

SKYCUTTER appeals as one who could have more to offer now he’s up and running for Dan Skelton and might prove the answer to this highly-competitive handicap J P McManus, Nicky Henderson and Nico de Boinville combined to win the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury recently and Under Control, who arrives on the back of a second in a Grade 2, provides them with a good chance of another big pot Black Hawk Eagle, Cracking Rhapsody and last year’s winner Benson are a few of many others who could go well.

Tough to rule out any of the quintet but preference is for SPECIAL RATE, who made it 7 wins from 8 starts this season in a match event here just over a fortnight ago and, operating from an unchanged mark, Philip Kirby’s 7-y-o can add another victory to what has already been a remarkable campaign. Imperial Bede made the perfect start over fences at Southwell recently so he can give the selection most to think about

GOVERNOR OF INDIA and Djerbanni both showed a reasonable level of form on the Flat and appeal as the types to take to this sphere, so they’re likely to play a big part, with the first named marginally preferred. Mojo Ego has an experience edge but doesn’t set the bar all that high.

PLAY SMARTER

This looks wide open but the vote goes to the likeable SACRE COEUR who arrives on the back of a good Sandown second and can go one better now eased 1lb Coastguard Station is weighted to have a big say and needs considering after a break, while Escapeandevade is another solid option. Netywell can’t be discounted either as he bids to complete his four-timer Course-specialist Cedar Hill completes the shortlist.

SAFETY INFORMATION

A day at Kelso Racecourse should be great fun for everyone; nobody wants an injury or an incident to spoil their day. So, when push comes to shove, we need to make sure that there isn’t any pushing or shoving.

The racecourse team prepares carefully for each event and we take every precaution to ensure that the site is as safe as is practical. However, we also need some help from you – to take responsibility for your own safety and to respect the safety and comfort of those around you. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a brief list of precautions that we’d like all visitors to consider:

Alcohol & Substance Abuse

Fortunately very few accidents occur at Kelso Racecourse, but those that do are most likely to be relatively minor incidents involving someone who has had too much to drink Quite simply: you’ll be safer if you drink less alcohol. On the rare occasion that we receive a customer complaint, it’s quite likely to be linked to the behaviour of someone who’s had one too many So please drink responsibly and encourage your friends to stay within their limits

Any incident involving substance abuse will be dealt with by Police Scotland.

Slips, Trips, Falls

We’ve commenced a series of developments at the racecourse and we’re gradually making the site more accessible for all, with smoother surfaces and ramps where we have differences in gradient

Please note that the site is not flat and there may be differences in levels, particularly between old surfaces, and surfaces which have recently been renewed. Please take care of yourselves and mind where you walk Don’t try to run faster than your legs can go, even if you think your bookmaker might be packing away for the day

Fences, Walls & Barriers

The fences, walls and temporary barriers located on the racecourse are intended to segregate people into specific areas This may include segregating people from horses or people from sensitive or hazardous equipment

Please do not attempt to climb over, sit on or stand on any barriers – regardless of whether they appear to be permanent or temporary features – they are not designed to take a person’s weight

Horses

Horses are big and run very fast; hopefully yours will run fastest of all. Please pay attention when in close proximity to the horses: stay on the public side of any barriers (close to the track or horse walk areas) and do not sit on or lean over barriers near to the horses The running rails are designed to encourage the horses to stay on the track –but they will not withstand a horse’s weight if they hit them, nor a jockey’s if he is thrown over them – so be prepared to move if a horse is behaving erratically

Fires

We’re proud of Kelso’s reputation for providing a warm welcome and the unique feature provided by the real fires that we light in the listed Grandstand and in the log-burning braziers surrounding the Parade Ring.

Our Fires have no brains – so please use your own. Fires are hot and there is a danger of burning yourself if you touch the fire or the surrounding metalwork Please do not put anything in the fires or fireplaces

Children

We welcome many children to Kelso races. Although we don’t consider them to be particularly dangerous, we do ask that all children are appropriately supervised by a responsible adult – who should be particularly mindful of all the considerations above
