Leicester Racecard - Tuesday 17th October

AFTERNOON RACING TUESDAY 17TH OCTOBER, 2023 Complimentary

Welcome to our 17th October race meeting. We have 7 races today, the first of which starts at 2.15pm and the last at 5.45pm. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors who are EBF, The Dempster Family, Lyndon Farms and Samworth Pork Pie shop.

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 Nelson Suite where you will find televisions, a bar, complimentary tea and coffee and a two course meal plus additional viewing from the Club Terrace.

Annual badge holders can use the 1st 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 Boxes, 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 MONDAY 30TH OCTOBER.

Star Ratings Explained: Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: ★★★★★ Selected to win the race. ★★★★✩ Good chance of being placed. ★★★✩✩ By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims ★★✩✩✩ Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. ★✩✩✩✩ Can be given little or no chance.

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 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.

None of these can be ruled out but it’s still hard to side against Joseph Parr’s thriving filly KAMANIKA who handles the mud really well and is weighted to bag a fourth success of 2023.

Barney’s Angel is also proven under the conditions and arrives in good order so rates the chief PLAY SMARTER threat, although Hystery Bere shouldn’t be underestimated back in this sphere after a chasing success at Warwick.

TIMEFORM VIEW Once-raced colt. Fourth of 12 in maiden (7/2) at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) on debut 27 days ago, nearest finish.

That represents decent form and, unless newcomer Loved ByYou turns out to be above-average, he should be winning this. TFRHHHHH BHA-

2022: NO CORRESPONDING RACE LAST YEAR

Stewards Note: SHARONA: Following its run on 19/9/2023 it was reported that the horse stopped quickly.

Probable S.P’s: 4-6 Primo Lara (IRE), 7-4 Loved By You (GB), 14-1 Sharona (FR)

PRIMO LARA attracted plenty of support ahead of his promising debut fourth in a decent maiden at Yarmouth where he put in good late work under a considerate ride.This is no foregone conclusion with appealing newcomer Loved By You in opposition (the market will be informative where that PLAY SMARTER rival is concerned), but the son of New Bay is brimming with potential and should emerge on top.

Sharona will need to leave her previous form well behind if she’s to trouble Primo Lara.

A case can be made for all of the trio but James Fanshawe’s C&D scorer HERITAGE HOUSE arrives on the up so is fancied to edge out form-choice Adaay In Devon who has to shrug off PLAY SMARTER a below-par showing at Goodwood. Lordsbridge Flyer can build on her promising debut Haydock second and also have a say in an intriguing conditions event.

Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks an excellent opportunity for CHRIS’S MATE to go one better than his very good Yarmouth second last time out and get PLAY SMARTER off the mark. Tres Chic could prove the main danger to Robyn Brisland’s colt on the back of her good Brigthon fourth ahead of Budding Poet and Weston Court.

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. www.leicester-racecourse.com

LOWTON shaped well in a big-field York handicap last month and looks good for a second C&D success of the year on the back of that. If first-time headgear has a positive effect Marshal Dan, who goes very well in the mud, could be the one to give the selection most to PLAY SMARTER think about.
