THE TRACK

A RIGHT-HANDED OVAL CIRCUIT ALMOST A MILE AND A QUARTER IN EXTENT, WHICH JOINS THE STRAIGHT FIVE FURLONGS COURSE HALF-A-MILE FROM HOME.

THE BENDS ARE SHARP, PUTTING BIG, LONG-STRIDING TYPES AT A SLIGHT DISADVANTAGE.

T TODAY’S TURE RACE FEA

A blink and you miss it five-furlong sprint is today’s feature race. Eight runners go to post, with GLORY FIGHTER race runne heading the weights for Paul Midgley The seven-year-old took advantage of a falling handicap mark when winning ng at Catterick in first time cheekpieces. The handicapper didn't take any chances, raising him 8lb in the weights and ck chan he could well have his work cut out. Jim Goldie's ROCK MELODY continues to fall down the weights and a return uld work continue to Musselburgh could well spark the desired improvement. Paul Mulrennan is back in the saddle and this could o Mulrenn well be the day she puts it altogether. Veteran CHOOKIE DUNEDIN has been running well this year without quite b y well treated but rarely runs a bad race and should be right there getting his head in front, he doesn't look overly run

JOCKEYS H TO WATCH

Valuable claimer SEAN KIRRANE heads to Musselburgh with two pro n knocking on the door and is certainly of interest back opener for regular trainer Tim Easterby. Little Ted has been e Easterby operation and this time he is able to use his valuable 3lb down in trip. His other ride again comes for the t ed by the handicapper and the extra 3lb could well see her back in the winners' claim Jazzagal looks well treated cou enclosure GRAHAM LEE partners Latin Five in the same race, he went mighty close last time out and has only m been given a lb rise Providing he is still on song, he could well give GRAHAM LEE a valuable winner l GR

TRAINERS TO WATCH

o promising looking rides. The first comes in our

KEITH DALGLEISH sends his usual strong contingent to the track, with his team spearheaded by BELLE OF ANNANDALE Billy Garritty takes the ride on the four-year-old, who will be hoping to add a first place, next to her previous two seconds. She's versatile in regard to ground and trip, so hopefully today is the day she can get that all important win. KARL BURKE joined KEITH at the top of the leaderboard and also has a useful team of runners.

POET MASTER represents Sheikh Mohammed Obaid, with Sam James taking the ride on Poet Master The unraced three-year-old could well get off the mark in the four-runner affair for North Yorkshire based trainer

RACE DESCRIPTIONS

5:30 THE GTC APPRENTICE HANDICAP STAKES

Our opener is a one mile handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 60 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 a lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.

6:05 THE C&P RECRUITMENT & BOOGIES DISCO CUP MAIDEN STAKES

This is a seven furlong contest for three-years-old and upwards is a maiden stakes - a race for horses that have yet to record a racecourse victory. There are a variety of reasons why the older horses in this race could still be maidens. Stoutly bred horses are unlikely to be seen at their best over the shorter distances of their juvenile season whilst a setback or injury can curtail even the most precociously bred horse’s two-year-old career

6:40 THE BERNARD HUNTER MOBILE CRANES HANDICAP STAKES

This is a one mile and four furlongs handicap race for foiur-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 49 to 68 Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb.

7:15 THE C&P RECRUITMENT 90S CLASSIC HANDICAP STAKES

This is a five furlong handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 59 to 78 Like most handicaps on the flat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is considered a disadvantage.

7:50 THE CONSTRUCTION AND PROPERTY RECRUITMENT HANDICAP STAKES

Like our previous race, this is also a five furlong handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards however this one is for horses which have been rated from 46 to 58. Like most handicaps on the flat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is considered a disadvantage.

8:25 THE BETVICTOR BETTING AFTER THE 'OFF' HANDICAP STAKES

Our penultimate race is a one mile and one furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds which have been rated from 56 to 75 To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap In simple terms a horse rated 75 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 70

9:00 THE BET IN-RUNNING ON RACING AT BETVICTOR HANDICAP STAKES

Our finale is a seven furlong handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 65 Like most handicaps on the flat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is considered a disadvantage

CHINESE SPIRIT deserves to get his head in front following a couple of close calls off this mark in recent weeks, and he is taken to do just that. The 9-y-o may have most to fear from Merricourt, while Little Ted and How Bizarre, though not the most reliable of types on balance, are also live contenders in current form.

PLAY SMARTER

It’s hard to look beyond MENELAUS, who is 9lb ‘well-in’ with no penalty to carry for last week’s clear-cut success in an apprentices’ handicap at York. He is clearly at the top of his game and this step back up in trip is unlikely to be an issue Well Planted gets the nod ahead of Belle of Annandale and Simple Star for forecast purposes

HORSE CARE AT MUSSELBURGH

e ys t especiall rd b y some vironment,

u

At every race meeting at Musselburgh there are three specially qualified equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action During a race two vets follow the action from the centre of the course and can attend a casualty in the same response time as the Medical Teams responsible for the welfare of the Jockeys. The third vet is based at the Stable Yard where a close check is kept on all horses, especially those returning after a race. It is now standard practice for screens to be erected around any horse receiving veterinary attention on the ground This does not reflect on the severity of an injury, but allows the vet s privacy and the horse the opportunity, in a calm environment, to mak a recovery Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erect around a fallen horse.

ATM

ATM Cash Machines are located adjacent to the Bistro Bar Glass Door & Main Tote Windows. Only £20 notes and multiples thereof are dispensed. There is a £2 transaction fee charged.
