Welcome all to Ludlow Racecourse and our annual Charity Race Day.

This year it is in aid of the Stephen House Memorial Project.

The Stephen House will be a place of comfort and warmth in the middle of Ludlow for those suffering from distress who need help and support. It will be the first point to triage their needs and where necessary to contact the specialist support services to aid their next steps.

We feel very happy and honoured as a Racecourse to provide Ludlow as a platform to help the Stephen House Memorial Trust to raise funds for the renovation and to future proof the building.

There will be a Charity Race after racing, so please do try to stay & support the riders

Best Wishes,

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

PLAY SMARTER

Race Summary: WELSH CHARGER finished 2 3/4 lengths second to re-opposing Jacks Profit when the pair met in a C&D novice 3 weeks ago but gets a 7lb swing at the weights on this occasion and could well be up to reversing the placings. His old rival is a clear threat following his subsequent success on the Flat, with Fuji Rocks also worth keeping an eye on.

CARTONNE hasn’t looked back since sent chasing and is weighted to complete a hat-trick on the back of his latest easy Musselburgh success where he jumped very well.

This is designed to provide privacy for the Veterinary Surgeons, the patient and connections. Please do not assume the worst

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.
