MEETING
Firstly we would like to thank our sponsors today who are Walkers & Sons, Dale Hall, Hickman Associates and Racing TV your support is greatly appreciated.
We are pleased to announce that proper racecards have been re-introduced on all meetings and we have decided to make them complimentary.
The first of 5 hurdle and 2 Chase races commence today at 12.15pm with the final race being 3.17pm.
Important points to note today are:
Please take a look at the racecourse map within your racecard to familiarise yourself with our facilities and in particular the location of our first aid unit. For our loyal Owners,Trainers and Annual badge holders we have provided our Executive boxes today where you will find televisions, a bar, complimentary tea and coffee and a two course meal (owners and trainers only).You may also use the outside Club Terrace area.
Our restaurant is sold out today within the Club Room and our members can enjoy facilities at the top of the blue stand and reserved tables in the Premier bar Unfortunately our Paddock Pavilion is closed for refurbishment.
Please be aware that since 31st of May we have been moving away from accepting cash and since this date all bar and food outlets have only accepted debit or credit cards Please be assured that turnstiles and betting facilities will continue to accept cash for the time being. For those customers who either forget their cards or do not possess a debit card or credit card, we have opened “voucher outlets” where you will be able to exchange your cash for vouchers and should you not spend your vouchers on the day you will be able to exchange them back for cash from the main office before you leave (up to 30 minutes after the last race), or use them on a future meeting.Today these outlets are situated at the Main Office, the Main Tote building and the Betting Hall Tote.We are pleased to say that this change has sped up service and improved security
Some other points of interest are:
• Our executive boxes and Club room have now been refurbished
• Our KUBE building has also been completely refurbished and is once again operating as a self-hire wedding and conference venue
• We will shortly be refurbishing our Nelson Suite which will include a brand new lift and we have also re-surfaced most of our walkways
Have a great day thank you for supporting us and we hope to see you again for our next meeting which takes place on Wednesday 7th December

Official BHA Ratings
The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.
to Read Your Racecard Our easy guide to getting the most from your racecard. Our new racecard key identifies the main runner and rider elements: 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. For additional information, please visit our website www.leicester-racecourse.com

Evacuation Procedures
Leicester Racecourse has significantly enhanced Safety & Security measures this year to ensure your safety, comfort and enjoyment of the day. However, an incident may occur which is beyond our control and it is important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency. As part of our Safety management, we have employed professionally trained and experienced stewards and you will see them at various points throughout the racecourse In the event of a situation, which requires partial or full evacuation of the stands or racecourse, announcements will be broadcast and stewards will undertake the responsibility of guiding you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions Please take your immediate belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and calmly with the guidance of the stewards The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area. Should it be necessary to evacuate the course itself, there will be two main options; firstly to return to your vehicles if safe to do so and leave via the main entrance Secondly, should it not be safe to return to your vehicles, you will be requested to leave via an emergency evacuation gate, where you will receive further instructions It may give you peace of mind if you pre plan and agree a meeting place, just in case you become separated from your party. The above is precautionary only and we trust that the procedures will never be required. However, in the event of an emergency, remember: TAKE YOUR BELONGINGS WITH YOU AND UNDER THE DIRECTIONS OF THE STEWARDS, PROCEED QUICKLY & CALMLY TO THE SAFE AREA.
Information & Enquiries
Any queries or problems that racegoers may have can be dealt with either at the racecourse office or by writing to the racecourse manager
Photography
Racegoers may take photographs for private purposes. Under no circumstances may photographs taken on the racecourse be used for publication without the permission of the racecourse executive Flash photography is essentially dangerous where horses are involved. You are asked not to use flash photography anywhere in the parade ring area and particularly near the Winners Enclosure
Health & Safety Notice
The Racecourse would be grateful if racegoers could observe all Health & Safety requirements whilst at Leicester Racecourse We would also be grateful if parents could keep a close eye on their children and prevent them from climbing on the running rails and getting onto the actual racecourse and paddock area. We would also like to remind racegoers that the FIRST AID medical unit is situated on the hard standing by the Sales Office.The designated meeting point for lost children is now in the Safety Control Office

APPLE ROCK has shown his form at a higher level than this and sprung back to his best at Southwell last week, so should take all the beating from an unchanged mark. Kotmask shaped well on his reappearance at Ascot and is respected, with Sullivan’s Brow perhaps capable of better over this longer trip on his return.

Horse Welfare at Leicester Racecourse
At every meeting at Leicester Racecourse there are two specially-qualified equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action. During the race one vet will be following the runners and can attend to a horse in the same response time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating injured jockeys. The second vet is based below the stewards box in the grandstand, is in radio contact with his colleague following the runners, and can respond immediately to any uncovered emergency. In addition there is a third vet, a British Horseracing Authority Veterinary team and the stewards The Racecourse also employs a specialist Horse Ambulance Team, equipped with a modern equine ambulance to enable injured horses to be transported safely to a veterinary hospital for treatment. It is now standard practice for screens to be erected around any horse receiving veterinary attention on the course. This does not reflect on the severity of an injury, but allows the vet some privacy in which to administer treatment and provides the horse with a calm environment in which to make a recovery. Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse.
