Leicester Racecard - Tuesday 10th October

Welcome to our 10th October race meeting. We have 8 races today, the first of which starts at 1.37pm and the last at 5.40pm. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors who are EBF and Everards.

Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with the site map, which will allow you to easily find everything.

Important points to note are:

Public bars and food stands will close today immediately following the final race and the racecourse will close shortly after

Please familiarise yourself with our facilities and in particular the location of our First Aid unit. We have 2 qualified first aiders with us this today.

For our loyal Owners and Trainers we have provided the Paddock Pavilion where you will find televisions, a bar, complimentary tea and coffee and a two course meal plus additional viewing from the Club Terrace and top floor boxes.

Annual badge holders can use the Top floor boxes.

Please be aware that we are now cashless on all bar and food outlets accepting only 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 Veterinary Treatment rooms have been refurbished and updated, enabling our Veterinary Surgeons to give the best treatment as quick as possible if required.

• We are also delighted to say that our Executive Room, Club Room, Kube and the Nelson Suite have been completely refurbished including a new customer lift in the Grandstand.

HAVE A GREAT RACEDAY, THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN ON OUR NEXT RACEDAY WHICH TAKES PLACE ON TUESDAY 17TH OCTOBER.

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.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet

An ultra-competitive opener in which preference is for BIG BROWN BEAR, who ran his best race sporting first-time headgear when a close third at Kempton last month and Eve Johnson Houghton’s charge can build on that effort quickly returned to turf. Marie’s Secret ran well here just over 2 weeks ago so she may emerge as the main danger, with Horse Whisperer and DC Flyer another couple worth considering. TIMEFORM PREDICTION:

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

If HOOF IT HOOF IT is in the same form as when scoring with something in hand at Ripon recently a 6lb rise doesn’t look enough to prevent her following up The frustrating Stone of Destiny was rather outbattled at Redcar last time but is in good enough form to think he’ll be bang there again. His stablemate Maxzeno could also have a say if reacting positively to wind surgery.

Having won a C&D last month, SPEEDACUS recorded another excellent effort when finding only a 3-y-o a short-head too good at Hamilton 8 days ago He’s 1lb lower here so makes plenty of appeal, with Almaty Star and Level Up feared most.

PLAY SMARTER

FORCEFUL SPEED races off the same mark as when successful at Epsom 9 days ago so should stand a good chance of extending his winning run to 4. Fellow 3-y-os Intricacy and Ziryab, who has his first outing since being gelded, can give him most to do in quite a useful contest.

ROYAL BLISS bounced back to the pick of her juvenile form when landing a handicap at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago, and on that evidence, she can follow up from 3lb higher. Charency is a likely improver now handicapping, with the enigmatic Marsh Benham one to consider for place purposes
