Newbury Racecard - Saturday 11th February

Good afternoon and a very warm welcome to Betfair Super Saturday, one of the highlights of Newbury’s Jump Season.

My thanks once again extend to Betfair who have sponsored this prestigious card for 11 years and have helped make it one of jump racing’s most exciting days. The Betfair Hurdle worth £155,000 continues to be the richest handicap hurdle in the UK and is supported by a highly competitive card; including two Grade 2 chases in the Betfair Denman Chase and Betfair Exchange Game Spirit Chase, both of which have been won by jumping legends, one of which, Native River will be on hand for racegoers to see this afternoon.

During the week we announced a record £6M in prizemoney will be available to connections who run their horses at Newbury this year. This represents a 16% increase year on year and a 26% increase up to £3.1M, in the contribution the racecourse makes towards that prizemoney This is a very significant commitment for an independent racecourse of our size and demonstrates our confidence in the racecourse and our commitment to support racing, during a challenging period when it needs it most.

Finally, I would like to thank you for your patience regarding the refurbishment of The Hennessy Restaurant on the second floor of the Hampshire Stand, which will be out of action until the Spring. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause for our regular Hennessy customers, and if you would like to see what the planned changes will look like, you can find display boards of plans on the ground floor of both the Berkshire Stand and Hampshire Stand. We are very excited about the refurbishment and cannot wait to showcase this to you all.

Thank you for choosing to spend your day with us. I hope you have an enjoyable and profitable afternoon and that we will see you again for Bloomfields Horseboxes Afternoon Racing on Sunday 19 February.

How To Bet

There are plenty of ways to bet at Newbury – you can either bet with the bookmakers in the ‘ring’ in front of the Grandstand and the Crafty Filly, at one of the many Totepool kiosks or in one of our Betfred Betting Shops, located on the ground floor of the Dubai Duty Free Grandstand and the Berkshire Stand. Here’s a step-by-step guide of what to do:

1. Select your horse and note its name and racecard number.

2. Choose your bet –‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are the two most common types:

• ‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.

• ‘Each-way’ is when you place two bets in one: one for your horse to come first, the other for it to be placed. Therefore £2 each-way = £4 total bet.

• What qualifies as a ‘place’ depends on the number of runners: between two and four runners - first place only; between five and seven runners - first and second place; eight runners and over - first three places; 16 runners and over (handicaps only) - first four places.

• The place part of the bet will be paid out at a fraction of the odds, usually a quarter or a fifth - this varies depending on the bookmaker, so check if you are unsure!

3. Decide the amount, also known as the stake that you are comfortable to bet.

4. Choose your outlet and place your bet e.g. “£2 win on number three” or “£2 each-way on number six”.

5. If your horse has won, wait to hear “weighed in” over the public address system and then go and collect any winnings!

6. Got so swept up you forgot to collect your cash? There are details of how to collect winning slips after the raceday on our terms and conditions page near the back of the racecard. Pleasegambleresponsibly.

Veteran West To The Bridge has served notice he’s coming to the boil of late and he’s feared, with Jatiluwih also worth a look under a new rider and having slipped in the weights.

DERBY HOPPERS CELEBRITY RACE

The History Of The Betfair Denman Chase

The Betfair Denman Chase is one of Newbury’s newest races and immediately became one of the most significant conditions chases of the jumps season when it was established in 2000.

The race was originally named the Aon Chase and, run over a distance of an extended 2m7f, and has become a regular destination for leading staying chasers, many of which go on to contest the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

See More Business set the pattern when he captured the inaugural running the year after he landed the Cheltenham Gold Cup. He was the first of ten winners trained by Paul Nicholls whose other winners included champions Kauto Star in 2007, Denman in 2008 and 2021 winner Secret Investor.

Kauto Star and Denman both went on from Newbury to triumph in the following month’s Cheltenham Gold Cup, a feat matched since by Coneygree in 2015 and Native River in 2018.

The popular Denman’s connection with Newbury, where he also became one of only three horses to win two editions of the Hennessy Gold Cup, now the Coral Gold Cup, in 2007 and 2009, was formally recognised when the race was renamed the Denman Chase at the time Betfair took over sponsorship in 2012.

Native River is the only horse to win the Denman Chase three times after his success in 2020, while his 2018 victory established Richard Johnson as the most successful jockey in the race with four wins to his name.

Race Summary: FANION D’ESTRUVAL ran up to his best when third in the Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby despite finishing with running left, which suggests he has a bigger performance in him over this sort of trip with Charlie Deutsch back on board and with headgear applied. Hitman is the form pick on these terms but he comes with risks attached having reportedly bled in the King George. Last year’s winner Eldorado Allen gains top marks for reliability so should make another bold bid despite a 6lb penalty

NATIVE RIVER

NATIVE RIVER WILL GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE GREATEST STEEPLECHASERS EVER TO RUN AT NEWBURY

He was trained by Colin Tizzard for Brocade Racing’s Garth and Anne Broom, amassing earnings of £1.1 million during a 32 race career in which he won 14 times, seven under champion jump jockey Richard Johnson. He was a regular at Newbury where he ran six times and was unbeaten in five chases. He is the most successful horse in the history of the Betfair Denman Chase, capturing the prize in 2017, 2018 and 2020. He also won the Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury in 2016 and from there went on to capture the Coral Welsh Grand National at Chepstow.

Garth Broom said: “Native River was unbeaten in five runs at Newbury. The season in which he won the Ladbrokes Trophy, the Welsh National and the Betfair Denman Chase and then finished a very close third in the Cheltenham Gold Cup would be a hard to top as a season. Of course he then went and trumped that by winning the Gold Cup the following year

“He performed for us every season in top class races. He always raced with his heart on his sleeve. People took to him because he didn’t know how to run a bad race. He gave us so many good memories.”

A BIG THANKS GO TO ANNE AND GARTH BROOM, TOM MALONE, EMMA VINE AND JAZ HOSGOOD FOR BRINGING HIM TO NEWBURY TODAY.

The History Of The Betfair Hurdle

The Betfair Hurdle is the richest handicap hurdle in the UK and has a long history as one of the most competitive races in the jumps calendar.

When it was first run in 1963, the 2m handicap hurdle took place at Aintree and was known as the Schweppes Gold Trophy, but soon found a permanent home at Newbury.

It became an annual target for Ryan Price who captured four of the first five runnings, twice with Rosyth, each winner ridden to victory by Josh Gifford.

In 1968 Persian War set a weight-carrying record when he shouldered 11st 13lb to victory and the following month became the first of only two horses to win the showpiece hurdle and the Champion Hurdle.

It was another 27 years before Make A Stand, trained by Martin Pipe, matched Persian War’s achievement by which time the Tote had taken over the sponsorship.

Nicky Henderson holds the record for the most wins in the race, recording five successes, while Gifford, who also won the race as a trainer when Deep Sensation triumphed in 1990, retains the record for most wins as a jockey.

TIMEFORM VIEW Promising type who was placed in the Greatwood at Cheltenham last season and took his form up another notch when making a successful reappearance at Kempton (2m, soft) over Christmas. Raised 5lb for that but there could easily be more to come from this 7-y-o after only 6 hurdle starts. TFRHHHHI

Top stable has a strong record in the leading 2m handicap hurdles. Cheekpieces refitted. One to consider

TIMEFORM VIEW A bit disappointing in 2 comeback outings in the autumn but given a bit of a chance by the handicapper as a result (now 3lb lower than when second to Tritonic in last season’s Betfair Exchange at Ascot) and could play a prominent role if bouncing back to form after a break.

Race Summary: Given that Nigel Twiston-Davies has won this 3 times with novices MASTER CHEWY catches the eye off bottom weight. His maiden status doesn’t do him justice as he would have won at Ascot but for falling at the last and he’s bumped into very promising sorts on his 2 outings since. Filey Bay, who has been purchased by J P McManus since scoring twice for this yard at the start of the winter, looks to have been laid out for this and is an obvious threat. Faivoir and Deere Mark are also shortlisted.
