MONDAY 17TH NOVEMBER 2025
Welcome to our 17th November Raceday 2025.
This is our first jumps meeting of the season. Due to a lack of significant rainfall, our chase course is currently too firm to use, therefore we have an all-hurdle card of 6 races today commencing at 1:10pm until 3.40pm.
Important points to note today are:
Important points to note today are: For our Owners and Trainers, we have provided the Club Room for dining plus the first floor Executive Room for viewing today where you will find large televisions, a bar, complimentary tea and coffee and a two course meal plus private betting facilities and you may also use the Club Terrace area. You also have use of Premier Room 1 today which has a complimentary bean to cup coffee machine. For our Annual badge holders you have the Paddock Pavilion and The Club Terrace.
Please be aware that we no longer accept cash at all our bar and food outlets, only debit or credit cards. Please be assured that turnstiles and betting facilities will continue to accept cash. 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 the outlet is situated at the Main Office. Please also note the new location of the Paddock Tote which is now next to the turnstile toilets overlooking the Parade Ring. Public bars and food stands will close today immediately following the final race and the racecourse will close shortly after 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 where we have 2 qualified staff to look after any slips, trips or bumps you may have and hopefully nothing more serious.
PLEASE NOTE: OUR 2026 FIXTURES ARE NOW OPEN FOR SALE ON OUR WEBSITE.
HAVE A GREAT DAY, THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN FOR OUR NEXT MEETING WHICH TAKES PLACE ON SUNDAY 30 NOVEMBER.

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.
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.

MACCARELLU ran to a fairly useful level when placed on his final start in France and can make a winning debut for new connections after a year off Point runner-up Patrimonio is most feared for the Derham team, whilst better things are surely expected of Hot To Go after his flop on Rules debut.

The Gredley family have enjoyed plenty of success with code-switchers in recent years and TRAD JAZZ looks to be the latest cab off the rank. She can emulate stablemates Burdett Road and East India Dock in making a winning hurdling debut.

This looks a fine opportunity for LITTLE VENICE to notch her first win over hurdles, the form of her recent second at Uttoxeter appealing as the standout piece of form in the race Handicap newcomer Kupka Vallis looks on a fair mark returning from 8 months off, with Sophie Power a modest pick for third in a thin contest.

PLAY SMARTER
This looks a match on paper between ISLAND BRIDGE and Kicour La, with preference for the former having produced a promising first effort over hurdles when fourth in a Cheltenham novice just over 3 weeks ago. Ben Pauling has his string in decent nick, so it would be no surprise should his Irish point runner-up give the selection plenty to think about on Rules bow.

Customers of the boards
Customers of the Boards and Rails bookmakers should check their itemised tickets immediately on receipt, as mistakes cannot be rectified after the “off”.

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.
From themoment a Thoroughbred is born they’re supported by ateam of experts who are dedicated to every aspectoftheir development and care horsepwr.co.uk

TIMEFORMVIEW Fairly useful at best on Flat (stays 2m) but yet to progress in handicaps over hurdles, 9 lengths third in a 6-runner handicap at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) 11 days ago Needs to take a step forward but this does look a winnable race TFRHHHII BHA99

This looks a winnable race for the grade and WISE GUY is taken to capitalise on his falling mark. Swinging London wasn’t disgraced in a stronger handicap on latest hurdle start and has been in good heart on the Flat, while handicap debutant Kalkaroo cannot be ruled out if the market suggests he’s ready to roll
