Official BHA Rating
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.
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.

Stewards Note:
FIVETHOUSANDTOONE: Following its run on 18/4/2025 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.
AKKADIAN THUNDER: Following its run on 26/10/2024 it was reported that the horse hung badly left-handed.
Probable S.P’s: 7-2 Trilby (GB), 9-2 Completely Random (GB), 17-2 Sergeant Wilko (IRE), 10-1 Strike Red (IRE), Havana Pusey (GB), 12-1 Billyjoh (GB), 16-1 Commanche Falls (GB), Akkadian Thunder (GB), 20-1 Germanic (IRE), Fivethousandtoone (IRE), Rousing Encore (IRE)
A fiercely-competitive sprint in which the suggestion is TRILBY, who proved better than ever as he recorded a cosy success at Beverley last week and Sam England’s 5-y-o looks capable of holding his own in this stronger company. Completely Random came home with a rattle to score on his first crack at 5f at Southwell earlier in the month, so he heads up the opposition, with Akkadian Thunder taken to edge out Billyjoh for third.

Horse Welfare at Leicester Racecourse
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

PLAY SMARTER
A host in with chances but the vote goes to TWILIGHT ROMANCE, who underperformed in a stronger contest than he need contest at Newmarket recently and having dropped to a career-low mark, he can double his tally with Oisin Murphy taking over in the plate Heading up the dangers is Invincible Speed, who caused a shock at Lingfield earlier in the month, while Bay Breeze and Havana Rum can fight out third.

Evacuation Procedures
Leicester Racecourse has significantly enhanced Safety & Security measures this year to ensure your safety, comfort and enjoyment of the day. However, an incident may occur which is beyond our control and it is important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency. As part of our Safety management, we have employed professionally trained and experienced stewards and you will see them at various points throughout the racecourse In the event of a situation, which requires partial or full evacuation of the stands or racecourse, announcements will be broadcast and stewards will undertake the responsibility of guiding you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions Please take your immediate belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and calmly with the guidance of the stewards The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area. Should it be necessary to evacuate the course itself, there will be two main options; firstly to return to your vehicles if safe to do so and leave via the main entrance Secondly, should it not be safe to return to your vehicles, you will be requested to leave via an emergency evacuation gate, where you will receive further instructions It may give you peace of mind if you pre plan and agree a meeting place, just in case you become separated from your party. The above is precautionary only and we trust that the procedures will never be required. However, in the event of an emergency, remember: TAKE YOUR BELONGINGS WITH YOU AND UNDER THE DIRECTIONS OF THE STEWARDS, PROCEED QUICKLY & CALMLY TO THE SAFE AREA.

Rules on Betting and Each Way Terms
These Rules on Betting, as amended from time to time, are issued by Tattersalls Committee The Rules on Betting were first issued in 1886 and were last revised on 17 May 2010 and the Place Terms were updated by racecourses with effect from 1 January 2015 following consultation with bookmakers In accordance with licence conditions issued by the Gambling Commission pursuant to the Gambling Act 2005, licensees must display on their ‘joints’, in an intelligible format, any rules that differ from these Rules on Betting. A further licence condition requires all licensees to have an independent dispute resolution service On application and in accordance with the published procedures (details of which are available at www. tattersallscommittee.co.uk), Tattersalls Committee will hear any betting disputes arising from the application or interpretation of these Rules on Betting or any other betting dispute emanating from on-course transactions Rule 1. In these Rules on Betting, ‘betting’ shall have the meaning defined by section 9 of the Gambling Act 2005. Rule 2. Bets may only be amended or cancelled by mutual consent between the licensee and the backer Rule 3. Unless clearly displayed otherwise, all each-way bets except ante-post bets will be settled on the actual number of starters according to the following racecourse place terms: -
• Fewer than 3 runners—all to win
• 3 or 4 runners - all to win. Where a bookmaker wishes to depart from this default position he may offer place terms for 3 or 4 runners this must be at 1/5 odds a place 1-2.
• 5-7 runners -1/4 odds a place 1-2
• 8 or more runners -1/5 odds a place 1-2-3
• Handicaps with 12-15 runners - 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3
• Handicaps with 16-21 runners - 1/5 odds a place 1-2-3-4

Rule 4. Other than ‘first past the post’ bets, all bets will be settled according to the result as announced at the ‘Weighed-In’ with the following exceptions:
(A) Single ante-post bets, being made before 10 a.m. on the day of the final declarations will be void under the following circumstances: -
i) If the race is abandoned;
ii) If the race is declared void;
iii) If the Conditions of the race entry are changed prior to the start of the race;
iv) If the venue is altered; or
v) If a horse is eliminated under the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) Rules of Racing, schedule 8 of the Race Administration Manual (F).
However, in any such circumstances accumulative ante-post bets (win or place) will stand and be settled at the ante-post price(s) laid on the remaining horse(s).
Any race in which a horse is supplemented does not affect Rule 4(A).
In the event of a race being postponed to another day, ante-post bets placed before the entries have closed will stand and will only be made void if the race is abandoned or made void, if the horse is balloted out or eliminated under the previously mentioned schedule 8 of the BHA’s Rules of Racing or if the venue is changed. Ante-post bets placed after the entries have closed will be void, except when the race is run at a later date at the same venue and entries for the race are not reopened, in which case bets will stand.
(B) Bets other than ante-post bets will be void if the race is abandoned or declared void. Bets will stand if the race is postponed to another day and final declarations stand. If the final declarations do not stand, bets will be void. Bets on a horse declared by the Starter ‘not to have started’ will be void.
(C) Where a bet has been placed and a price taken on the day of the race and there is subsequently an official notification that a horse has been withdrawn or has been declared ‘not to have started’, the liability of a layer against any horse remaining in the race, win or place, will be reduced in accordance with the following scale depending on the odds current against the withdrawn horse at the time of such official notification:
