Ludlow Racecard - Wednesday 30th November

Registered Office: Ludlow Racecourse Bromfield Ludlow Shropshire SY8 2BT

Tel: 01584 856221

Welcome to Ludlow Racecourse and let’s hope the weather is kinder to us than last week. We knew we were going to get a lot of rain, but not 23mm! Which started at 9am and continued for the whole day. Puddles appeared where we had not seen them before and likewise leaks. We needed the rain but ideally not on a race day.

I would like to welcome our sponsors for the day: Ludlow Brewery Flowfit

Marsh Commercial Oracle Dental

Perrot Properties

G.C.Rickards Ltd

We hope they enjoy their day and come back for another visit.

We have done some repairs to the course crossing so hopefully that will be an improvement since last week.

We have one more fixture in December the “Tanners Christmas meeting” so look forward to seeing you all then with £100,000 up for grabs and lots of festive spirit. A great day for the family to see the Christmas Holidays in.

Best Wishes, Simon Sherwood (Managing Director/Clerk of the Course).

A right-handed oval shaped course one and a half miles in circumference, with nine fences per circuit and a run-in of 450 yards. The hurdle course runs on the outside of the chase course and is slightly undulating

Stewards Note: RESERVE TANK: Following its run on 26/10/2022 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.

Betting Forecast: 11-4 Sam Barton (GB), 9-2 One True King (IRE), 13-2 Laskalin (FR), 9-1 Forgot To Ask (IRE), 10-1 Reserve Tank (IRE), Marettimo (IRE), 12-1 Tide Times (IRE), Volcano (FR)

Race Summary: SAM BARTON was expertly prepared to make a successful reappearance at Worcester last month and with this step up in trip likely to suit, he rates the most persuasive option. Marettimo almost certainly needed the run on his return and much better is expected here, with Laskalin also of interest on his comeback.

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.
