HOW TO BET WITH AN ON-COURSE BOOKMAKER 1. Pick your Racehorse, look around for the best odds on course, try to offer the correct stake money for your wager.

2. Ask the Bookmaker for your bet, name the horse, (the bookmaker won’t necessarily know it’s number). Listen to the bookmaker repeat your bet to his clerk, correct bookmaker if he makes a mistake and receive your Betting Ticket as a receipt for your bet.

3. Should your horse happen to win, present your betting ticket to the bookmaker, check your winnings.

4. Check with the bookmaker when placing a bet, the Place Terms. Place Betting, not all on course bookmakers accept each way bets, i.e. for a win or a place.

5. In the unlikely event of a dispute after adhering to this procedure, the bookmaker will tell the punter to approach the Ring Official, who will advise the racegoer as to his rights.

EACH WAY BETTING The RCA and the bookmaking association have agreed the following terms for all bookmakers offering each way betting on course.

NON-HANDICAPS 5 - 7 runners; One quarter the odds 1,2 8+ runners; One fifth the odds 1,2,3 HANDICAPS 5 - 7 runners; One quarter the odds 1,2 8 - 11 runners; One fifth the odds 1,2,3 12 - 15 runners; One quarter the odds 1,2,3 16+ runners; One quarter the odds 1,2,3,4 All bookmakers must display on their boards whether they are betting each way or to win only.

6. Some course bookmakers have minimum stakes. e.g.£1, £5 or £10 but small backers are catered for in the racecourse Betting Shops.

Look out for the charity Racing to School today; you shouldn’t miss them as they will be leading a group of local pupils and their teachers through every corner of the racecourse for an action-packed day of fun challenges and discovery. The charity works nationwide with over 250 schools, and in this its 20th anniversary year will reach around 9,000 young people – at UK racecourses, trainers’ yards and studs.

They deliver free, outdoor activity days to support the learning and to boost the self-confidence of children aged nine and above. Racing to School uses racing venues as unique, fast-moving classrooms full of opportunities to practise and improve subjects like maths, literacy and problem-solving.

The charity is only able to support young people’s education through the kind donations it receives.

PLAY SMARTER

Race Summary: A case can be made for a few of these, but the most persuasive one is for POKER MASTER, who opened his account in taking style at Huntingdon a week ago and is weighted to follow up under a penalty. Angels Landing is feared most on the back of her good C&D second, with in-form duo Good Impression and Moveit Like Minnie high on the shortlist too.

PLAY SMARTER

Race Summary: This is likely to boil down to a straight fight between HIDOR DE BERSY and Knickerbockerglory.

The latter is strongly respected having finished a respectable third behind a very useful and progressive novice at Wincanton last time, but Hidor de Bersy impressed with his slick jumping when landing the odds at Fakenham and he is preferred. Zucayan and Flat recruit Glen Again are each-way contenders.

Race Summary: KARL PHILIPPE had plenty up his sleeve when scoring over C&D 6 weeks ago and with the potential to do better still over fences, he gets the verdict to make light of a 6lb rise. Quoi de Neuf has failed to kick on since scoring at Taunton in December but shades the vote for second over Kakamora.

Race Summary: SACRE COEUR has been knocking on the door in recent starts and might be up to notching a first win in Britain now. Wynn House shaped as if still in good form when fourth in a Cheltenham Class 2 in December and is feared most back from a short break.

Race Summary: NOT THAT FUISSE shaped better than the result when third on his first go in hunters over C&D in January and, having been brought down through no fault of his own since, he’s worth a chance to open his account in this sphere. Give Me A Copper should benefit from the stronger handling of Will Biddick, so he’s considered the main threat, while Gesskille looks an interesting British debutant.

HORSE WELFARE

“Racing’s top priority is the safety and welfare of horse and rider” At Ludlow Racecourse we are committed to minimising risks as far as possible. We aim to deal quickly and humanely with injured horses and to maintain the highest quality of veterinary care. We have three Equine Veterinary Surgeons in attendance at all meetings who are responsible for the welfare of all horses in action. One Veterinary Surgeon follows the race in the centre of the course and can attend a horse with the same response time as the Paramedic teams responsible for the jockeys. It is our policy to erect screens around any injured horse requiring Veterinary attention on the racecourse. This is designed to provide privacy for the Veterinary Surgeons, the patient and connections. Please do not assume the worst.

LUDLOW CLUB ROOM

The Ludlow Club Room on the ground floor of the Plymouth Stand is for the Exclusive use of the holders of Ludlow Annual Members Metal Badges and Ludlow Annual Members Guest Badges only.

COURSE CROSSINGS

In the interests of Safety would members of the public please note that when the order “Jockey Mount” is given they must clear the course ready for the horses leaving the paddock and going to the start.

VIEWING ON COURSE

Would all patrons please note that while any race is in progress no person is allowed on the course except Racecourse Ground Staff and First Aid Attendants. All other persons must stay behind the running rails. THIS INCLUDES OWNERS, TRAINERS, JOCKEYS, PRESS and PHOTOGRAPHERS.

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-handicap 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.

For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

PUBLIC EVACUATION PROCEDURE PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

The Racecourse Management will only take such action if an emergency situation arises such as a FIRE or BOMB THREAT and all decisions taken will place public safety as a priority.
