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

Probable S.P’s: 5-2 Scoops Ahoy (IRE), 4-1 Maharajas Express (GB), 11-2 Miami Heat (GB), 6-1 Catch Cunningham (IRE), 10-1 Cool Run (IRE), 12-1 Looby (GB), 14-1 Majeski Man (IRE)
MAHARAJAS EXPRESS didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when a good Sandown fifth last time so is fancied to resume winning ways off an unchanged mark here Scoop’s Ahoy showed the benefit of cheekpieces when going in at Redcar and is next on the list. In-form Catch Cunningham can also have a say in an open sprint.
