Thank you for joining us for the Edinburgh Gin Chase Day at Kelso Racecourse.

Welcome to Kelso Racecourse where we have an exciting afternoon’s action in store, followed by musical entertainment in the Belhaven Village Marquee after the final race. We hope that you enjoy your day

The £50,000 Edinburgh Gin Handicap Chase has attracted nine runners including the remarkable Elvis Mail who is seeking a hattrick in the feature event having won in 2023 and 2024. At eleven years of age, he faces some talented rivals with younger legs in a vintage renewal of the contest. We are grateful to the connections of all today’s runners, in all seven races, for choosing to run at Kelso – we couldn’t put on such compelling races without you.

We’d especially like to thank the sponsors of today’s programme who, in addition to Edinburgh Gin, include: the Firth Family, Midburn Construction, and Racing TV Sponsorship support makes an enormous difference to the quality of the races that we are able to stage and is much appreciated by everyone at Kelso

The National Hunt season moves up a gear this weekend. Today’s programme is packed with interest and it would be a surprise if the Maiden Hurdle that kicks off the card doesn’t feature several future winners. Keep a hold of this programme, it might have value as racing memorabilia one day in the future! Thank you for attending today, we wish you good luck in identifying the winners – whether it’s those that win today, or those to follow in the future.

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.

DECLARED RUNNERS 14 2024: BOLD LIGHT (IRE) 7 10 13 Alan Doyle 3-1 (Lucinda Russell) 10 ran Hood worn by No 12. Running for the first time since Wind Surgery No 2. Stewards Note:

L’INSURGE: Following its run on 8/10/2025 it was reported that the horse ran too free.

Probable S.P’s: 3-1 He’s Bresilian (GB), 11-2 Smoke Trail (IRE), 6-1 Eagles Reprieve (IRE), 8-1 Brookside La (IRE), Kadjar des Mottes (FR), 17-2 Sanilam (IRE), 12-1 Lester Mail (FR), 22-1 Defying Gravity (GB), 40-1 Ballynoe Boy (IRE), 150-1 Carrhill (IRE), Passion For Glory (IRE), Sparky Tom (GB), 300-1 Lyndon Red (GB), L’Insurge (FR)

A few of these offer potential but the vote goes to HE’S BRESILIAN who showed some fairly useful form when placed over hurdles last season and can gain a deserved breakthrough success on his return. Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore have an excellent record in this and their duo Smoke Trail and Eagles Reprieve can both have a say along with Brookside La and Kadjar des Mottes

Stewards Note:

DIAMOND DEALER: Following its run on 7/4/2025 it was reported that the horse stopped quickly

Probable S.P’s: 7-2 Diamond Dealer (IRE), 5-1 Cosmic Blizzard (IRE), 11-2 Golden Point (FR), 6-1 Frisby (IRE), 7-1 Wearelongterm (IRE), 8-1 My Lady Elektra (FR), 10-1 Wholly Boley (IRE), 28-1 Joie More (IRE), 40-1 West Lawn (GB)

Preference is for COSMIC BLIZZARD, who recorded a hat-trick in Irish points before making an encouraging stable debut at Perth last month. He can build on his recent run to gain a first success under Rules, though Diamond Dealer isn’t taken lightly as he goes chasing on first outing for Dan Skelton. Golden Point is also considered as she starts off over fences

Diamond Mix signed off last campaign with a gritty win at Hexham and could well have more to offer this year, whilst Chase A Fortune has dropped to an eye-catching mark and could come on for his recent comeback

PLAY SMARTER

HEART ABOVE has yet to finish out of the placings at this track and was better than ever when winning here last month. He can defy a career-high mark to follow up that victory, with Two Auld Pals feared most back on his latest winning mark over hurdles Magnolia steadily improved last season and could feature if ready to roll on her reappearance.

RARE EDITION remains low-mileage over fences and resumes with his stable going nicely, so he’s selected to make a winning reappearance for the second successive season. Thistle Ask is of a similar ilk and having ended the last campaign with a win at Musselburgh merits serious consideration having joined the Dan Skelton yard in the interim. Netywell may emerge best of the remainder

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
