Welcome to Ladies Day, the traditional finale to Kelso’s racing season and the busiest racemeeting of our year.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped us to stage a superb programme of jump racing over the past few months – including all the staff, dozens of dedicated contractors (many of them local), the officials, doctors, vets, bookmakers, caterers and of course you – the racegoer Without you, we wouldn’t enjoy such a fabulous atmosphere at Kelso races

We would like to thank the connections of all the horses that have run at Kelso this season (the racehorse owners, trainers, jockeys and stables staff), especially those that have brought runners today

Kelso Racecourse stages one of the highest quality programmes of jump racing in the north of Britain, something that wouldn’t be possible without the generous sponsorship support of many companies and individuals Today’s race sponsors include: J.A. Wilson Contractors, The Borders Growers and Distillers, the Galashiels based 5-Star Taxis, the Henderson Group, the SCHLOSS Roxburghe Hotel, and Ponsse UK

Not all of the competition today will be on the track - we are indebted to the generous sponsors of the Ladies Day Style Awards too, including: The Colourful Edit, the SCHLOSS Roxburghe Hotel, A. Hume Menswear, Inis, Thirty Five, The Perfect Style, Kitty and Gus, The Vintage Besomes

We wish you an enjoyable afternoon and, if you’re staying on for the After Party, a fun evening too

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 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.

PONY RACING AND RACING REMINISCENCE DAY

Free Admission

Sunday 2nd June

Join us on Sunday 2nd June between 12.30pm and 4pm for an afternoon of pony racing at Kelso Racecourse. Races will be scheduled for young riders of all levels of experience from none-at-all to wannabe-jockeys.

Staged as a taster day under the rules of the Pony Racing Association, young riders will also have the benefit of instruction from the staff of the Scottish Racing Academy

The late Eric Bryce left a huge cache of photographs depicting idyllic scenes of Kelso Racecourse and Friars Haugh Point-to-Point races, many of them featuring local racing families.

Come and see a large selection of Eric’s photographs which will be available to view on the first floor of the Tweedie Grandstand. Reminisce about horses and riders of the past – who knows, perhaps you’ll even find a photograph of yourself or a relative that you can take home and cherish.

This is an event for all generations – come and share memories as the youngest riders in our community head out onto the track to make some new ones

DORCAS ROAD: Following its run on 19/4/2024 it was reported that the horse hung badly left-handed.

BLUEBERRY WINE looked back on song after a break when second in a similar event at Ludlow on his belated return to hurdles last month and this looks a good opportunity for him to go one better Someone You Loved has some decent form on the Flat in Germany so is a potential danger starting out for Fergal O’Brien, with Geordies Dream another to consider

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
