THE TRACK A CIRCUIT OF THE TRACK IS APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE. THERE ARE 8 HURDLES AND 8 STEEPLECHASE FENCES ON EACH CIRCUIT, WITH 2 OPEN DITCHES ON THE CHASE COURSE. THE ALL-WEATHER FIBRESAND BEND WAS INSTALLED IN 2012 FOR SAETY REASONS ON THE TIGHT TOP BEND AFTER THE FINISHING LINE. THIS IS UNIQUE TO MUSSELBURGH RACECOURSE AND THE FIRST IN THE UK.

TODAY’S FEATURE TURE RACE

Our fifth race looks to be the most exciting on our six-race card. Twelve go to post in the Visit racingtv.com Handicap Hurdle, a class four event for horses rated 0-115. Top weight THE DANCING POET is havin having his fourth start over hurdles but is best known forr his flat success. He’s finished first, third and fourth over hurdles so providing p he continues this upward curve, he should ould be right there. RAE DES CHAMPS is toward the front of the market for f Rose Dobbin. At only five, she has only had ad the three career starts and is very unexposed. A point-to-point graduate, sshe will be looking to get a one next to her name after a good third behind Lady Adare last time up. SARYSHAGANN is th the pick of the inform Ryan Mania for Sandy Thompson. A consistent runner, he is sure to be rightt up there come the finish af after the handicapper has given him a chance.

JOCKEYS TO WATCH H RYAN MANIA had a big win on Saturday in the Eider Chase aboard aboa on With My Wings and has four rides on today’s card. For a man in flying form, he will be disappointed sappointed if he ccan’t get at least one winner with a couple of good looking rides on paper. Derek ek Fox has three rides, and all al are single figure odds. It could be a big day for Lucinda Russell’s ell’s retained rider, with Emirat De Catana lo looking to be his best chance on the day. Our final race is a Hunter Chase and as such is ridden my amate amateur jockeys, keep an eye on MR NICK ORPWOOD, who is riding the favourite rite in our finale. fin

TRAINERS TO WATCH BRIAN ELLISON sends four to the track today, including the favourite in our third race of the day. He’s booked Brian Hughes on the nine-year-old mare, who is looking to bring up a hattrick. She faces stiff competition in the form of Nick Alexanders Cancan. LAURA MORGAN can do little wrong at the moment and as such the bookmakers have priced up her runners quite short. Champ Is Real is the odds-on favourite and Clear The Runway looks as though he could go odds-on in our second race. He is trying to defy a 7lb penalty but for an inform stable, he must have an excellent chance.

RACE DESCRIPTIONS 1.45 THE BET AT RACINGTV.COM MAIDEN HURDLE (CLASS 4) (GBB RACE) Our first race of the day is a Maiden hurdle. The term ‘maiden’ inspires thoughts of damsels in distress but in horse racing terms it takes on a different meaning. When a horse is referred to as a maiden, be it a colt or a filly, it simply means that they have yet to win a race. Many of the runners aged four-years-old and upwards in this two miles and five furlongs race will still be inexperienced over hurdles and almost certainly improve for the racecourse experience that they gain today.

2.20 THE JOIN RACING TV NOW HANDICAP CHASE (CLASS 5) (GO NORTH MONET’S GARDEN SERIES QUALIFIER) This is a two miles, about two furlongs handicap chase race for five-year-olds and upwards, which have been rated from 0 to 100. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170..

2.55 THE EVERY RACE LIVE ON RACING TV MARES’ HANDICAP HURDLE (CLASS 4)(GO NORTH LADY BUTTONS SERIES FINAL QUALIFIER) This is a two miles and four furlongs handicap hurdle race for four-year-old mares’ and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 110. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170.

3.30 THE RACECOURSE LIVE STREAMS ON RACING TV EXTRA HANDICAP CHASE (CLASS 5) This is a three mile handicap chase race for five-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 105. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170.

4.05 THE VISIT RACINGTV.COM HANDICAP HURDLE (CLASS 4) (GO NORTH SEA PIGEON SERIES QUALIFIER) This is a two mile handicap hurdle race for four-year-old’s and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 115. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170.

4.35 THE RACING TV PROFITS RETURNED TO RACING OPEN HUNTERS’ CHASE (CLASS 5)(CORINTHIAN SPRINT QUALIFIER) Our final race of the day is a hunter chase. A Hunter Chase gives the regulars of the Point-to-Pointing world a chance to shine under National Hunt rules. A horse is only qualified for this type of event if it holds a Hunters’ Certificate, something provided by a Master of Hounds to prove that the horse has been regularly hunted throughout the season. This particular event is for five-year-olds and upwards, and is to be run just under three milles. All Hunter Chases are restricted to amateur jockeys.

PLACING A BET HAVING A FLUTTER IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE FUN OF COMING RACING. 1. PICK YOUR WINNER!

Many people select a horse based on it’s name or jockey colours or go to the Parade Ring to view the horses.

Alternatively you may wish to follow a particular jockey or trainer, or a tipster in a newspaper. Others like to look at the horse’s previous races or ‘form’.

2. WHERE TO PLACE YOUR BET

1. In the Betting Ring, in front of the Grandstand, with a racecourse ‘bookie’. This is great fun as you can shop around for the bookmaker offering the biggest odds on your selection.

2. With totepool at one of their designated betting points all around the racecourse.

3. At the totesport betting shop in the Links Pavilion, which is identical to a high street betting shop.

4. At the totesport club office, if you are a member of the totesport club.

3. PLACE YOUR BET.

Decide how much you want to stake, and what type of bet you would like to place. Then Cheer your selection home! There are a few simple rules that you need to follow after placing your bet.

- Please check your receipt. Mistakes cannot be rectified after a race is off.

- Keep your bet receipt safe. You will need this to collect your winnings.

- Don’t throw away your ticket until the racecourse announcer says ‘Weighed In’.

- Even if your horse has not won, the result may be changed if there is a ‘Stewards Enquiry’.

GOOD LUCK!

PLAY SMARTER

CLEAR THE RUNWAY had plenty in hand when landing a gamble on chase bow over this C&D 10 days ago and should prove hard to beat under a penalty with further progress on the cards. Idilico didn’t impress on his 2 chase starts here but he was an impressive winner over hurdlers here off this mark recently so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Mymilan.

LEESWOOD LILY has been rejuvenated since joining Brian Ellison, recording back-to-back victories at Sedgefield (16.8f) this year. She showed a good attitude on both occasions so can go on to complete the hat-trick back up in trip with Brian Hughes in the saddle. The consistent Cancan could be the main danger also tried over further again, while Millarville remains well treated on her old form.

PLAY SMARTER

This revolves around CHAMP IS REAL, who had any amount in hand when making a winning chase/ handicap debut sporting a first-time tongue tie over C&D 10 days ago. He appeals as the type who can run up a sequence so, racing from his correct mark here, he will prove tough to beat. Rapid Raider had been progressive prior to his Newcastle effort so he’s feared most, ahead of Emirat de Catana.

PLAY SMARTER

The fitting of a tongue tie seemed to help SARYSHAGANN when runner-up over this C&D and the strong feeling is that he is better than his current mark. Blooriedotcom usually gives his running at this venue and is a threat, along with Rae des Champs.
