WELCOME Ludlow Race Club Ltd Registered Office: Ludlow Racecourse Bromﬁeld Ludlow Shropshire SY8 2BT Tel: 01584 856221

Welcome to Ludlow Races for our Tanners Christmas Fixture. I must first of all thank our long-standing sponsors, James and Katie Tanner of Tanners Wines who have been our main sponsor for the Christmas Meeting for many years, we are most grateful for their continued support! Likewise, a big thank you to Ray Bailey of Alfa Aggregates who has been a very long supporter of Ludlow. Thanks also to Tony Rickards of G.C.Rickards who is always happy to sponsor and finally a big thanks to Shuker Build. Our Tanners Christmas Meeting is always a popular day, so it is good to see plenty of runners on some rain softened ground! We are very happy to have the Tanners Prosecco Amateur Ladies Race at Ludlow for the Lorna Brooke Memorial Trophy, and the trophy will be presented by Lorna’s mother Lady Susan Brooke. I have fond memories of watching Lorna ride in many races here at Ludlow. Lorna was a role model to lady jockeys and is very sadly missed, but will never be forgotten. I hope you all have a fun day’s racing, and we hope to welcome you back on Monday 5th January! Wishing you a safe and Happy Christmas. Best Regards Simon Sherwood (Managing Director/Clerk of the Course)

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.
