Welcome to our 3rd December race meeting. This is our only jumps weekend meeting of the season and we have 6 races today, the first of which starts at 12.45pm and the last at 3.30pm. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors who are Robinsons Jewellers, Terry Paige & Friends and Judy Robinson. 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 3 qualified first aiders with us this today. For our loyal Owners and Trainers we have provided the Club Room 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 top floor boxes or the Paddock Pavilion. 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 THURSDAY 7TH DECEMBER.

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. For additional information, please visit our website www.leicester-racecourse.com

MILTIADES was behind Supasunrise at Warwick last month but that was Henry Daly’s charge first outing for 8 months so he’s entitled to come on for the outing and a 5lb swing in the weights might be enough for him to turn the tables on his old rival. Cokytho failed to trouble PLAY SMARTER the judge in Britain last season but is fairly treated on his French form and might make more of an impact having switched yards ahead of his reappearance.

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.
