WELCOME Welcome to Kelso Racecourse for today’s seven-race programme. Following a prolonged dry spell, Jumps fans have endured a lengthy prelude to the current season with a long wait for the “winter horses” to appear. It’s a pleasure, therefore, to see several previous Kelso runners among the entries on today’s card, including Cadell who will be attempting to win the feature race, The luckytiger.co.uk Bet 20 Win 20 Wishing Well Chase, for the second year in succession. We’d like to wish the connections of all today’s runners an enjoyable afternoon. Thank you very much indeed for choosing to run your horses at Kelso – we couldn’t put on the show without you. We are grateful to Kelso’s race sponsors too, for their generous contribution towards the today’s prize money. In addition to Lucky Tiger, we’d like to thank Paxtons, Racing TV, the friends of the late Graeme Todd, and the racecourse’s catering company Just Add Tonic. We wish each of today’s race sponsors, and all of their guests, a fabulous time. The Wishing Well Handicap Steeplechase celebrates the discovery of an old well while we were redeveloping the parade ring in 2018. Having reinstated the top of the well, we inserted a large circular wire basket on a lengthy chain – so any coins tossed into the well for luck can be collected for the benefit of the Injured Jockeys’ Fund. Irrespective of whether you choose to toss a coin into the well, we hope that you have a great day at Kelso and we look forward to welcoming you back as the Winter progresses.

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. Please gamble responsibly. For more information visit www.gambleaware.co.uk
You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

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.
