TRAINERS TO WATCH

ey at Musselburgh PAUL MULRENNAN who

JIM GOLDIE extended his lead in the championship with another victory here at our last meeting. It would be no shock to see him have another winner this evening, as he saddles five runners who all remain with chances. Blue Antares scored convincing at Ripon last time out for CHARLIE JOHSNTON and he often brings a strong hand here and this meeting looks no different. He sends just three here, but it would be a surprise to not see one of them come out with gold Tracy Waggot has a 21% strike rate at Musselburgh, so she is another trainer that has to be feared, saddling Mrs Bagerran in the 6.30pm

RACE DESCRIPTIONS

5:25 THE VISIT RACINGTV.COM RESTRICTED MAIDEN STAKES (GBB RACE)

This is a one mile and five furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 65, to be ridden by Amateur Jockeys. 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.

6:00 THE JOCK WHITELAW MEMORIAL NURSERY HANDICAP STAKES

This is a five furlongs handicap race for two-year-olds only which have been rated from 0 to 65 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 65 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 60

6:30 THE BETVICTOR BETTING AFTER THE OFF HANDICAP STAKES

This race is a seven furlongs maiden stakes for two-year-olds Maiden races provide a starting point for young horses that are yet to record a victory and most will be very lightly-raced or be making their racecourse debuts Previous experience can count for a lot when searching for the winner but well-bred or precocious juveniles are more than capable of landing the prize at the first time of asking

7:05 THE THANK YOU PETER JACKSON HANDICAP STAKES

This race is a seven furlongs classified stakes for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 50 Unlike in a handicap when a horses rating reflects the weight that they will carry, the weights in this type of race are decided solely on the basis of age or sex This means that the higher rated horses should, theoretically, hold an advantage, as they are not forced to concede weight to lower rated rival.

7:35 THE 100% RACING TV PROFITS BACK TO RACING HANDICAP STAKES

This is a five furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 76 to 95 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.

8:05 THE BET IN RUNNING ON EVERY RACE TODAY BETVICTOR HANDICAP STAKES

This is a five furlongs 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

It could be worth chancing handicap debutant Likleman, who went off second favourite on debut in what has turned out to be a decent Salisbury maiden. Bellestarr could emerge as the biggest threat if her latest run is forgiven.

PLAY SMARTER

ACONCAGUA MOUNTAIN deserves to get his head back in front following a couple of solid recent placed efforts at Ayr and Beverley, and he has every chance of doing so in this contest. The 5-y-o earns the vote ahead of Cheyenne Nation, who has struggled the last twice but the handicapper has cut him some slack and he may well bounce back with a bold show. Canaria Prince and Sixcor are others to consider

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.

CLOAKROOM

Cloakroom facilities are available in the tunnel underneath the grandstand. The cloakroom closes 30 minutes after the last race. If lost property has not been claimed 30 days following the race meeting, items will be donated to charity.

INFORMATION

Racecourse Information and bookings are available at the Racecourse Office in the Weighing Room

FACILITIES FOR GUESTS IN WHEELCHAIRS
