AFTERPARTY BROUGHT TO YOU BY

TICKETS ON SALE AT THE EAST GATE TODAY

Good afternoon and a very warm welcome to the Starlight Charity Raceday.

My thanks go to our headline sponsor, Starlight, who have been a valued sponsor and partner at Newbury for many years. Starlight use the power of play to make the experience of illness and treatment better for children and their families. For over 30 years they have helped thousands find hope after a child is diagnosed with a serious illness. The charity will be conducting a bucket collection this afternoon an hour before and after the last race and I am sure they would greatly appreciate any contribution you’re able to make for such a worthy cause.

A grateful thanks go to Starlight’s supporters and sponsors: Unibet, Highclere Castle, Coolmore Stud and The Bernard Sunley Foundation. Thank you also to our multiraceday partner BetVictor for their support on today’s card.

Following today our attention turns to tomorrow where you can expect to see top quality track action including the BetVictor London Gold Cup and the feature race of the day, the Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes. We are very excited that both of these races will feature in the World Pool for the first time, offering our racegoers access to huge international pools by betting through the Tote on-course. Our thanks go to the Hong Kong Jockey Club for their support in making this happen. Tickets are still available for tomorrow and can be purchased online or at the East Gate today.

Thank you for choosing to spend your day with us. I hope you have an enjoyable afternoon and that we will see you back here again tomorrow for the return of the Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes.

Julian Thick Chief Executive Newbury Racecourse

Thank You to Today’s Race Sponsors

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 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.

Race Summary: A tricky start to proceedings with the tentative vote going to LENNY’S SPIRIT, who wasn’t seen to best effect at Chelmsford just over a fortnight ago and Ed Dunlop’s charge is fancied to regain the winning thread with this larger-field scenario likely to be in his favour Second choice is Sandy Paradise, who has hit the crossbar on his last couple of starts and may have to settle for silver once again, with Mabre and Flag of Truth rounding off the shortlist.

Fleet Admiral and Crack Shot are both interesting newcomers.

Race Summary: A maiden with some very good recent winners. The Gosden stable took this with St Leger hero Logician in 2019 and is taken to repeat the feat with TONY MONTANA, who shaped very well on his only 2-y-o start. Naqeeb didn’t make quite the impact the betting suggested he might do on debut but could prove a different proposition now. Nothing To Sea still looked green at Windsor so he also makes the shortlist. Seendid is one of a few interesting newcomers.

Race Summary: This is wide open but Hughie Morrison’s handicap debutant ROMAN ART looks to start life in handicaps on a lenient mark and can go close if, as expected, building on his Southwell fifth after a break. Cherryhawk represents the in-form yard of Dominic Ffrench Davis and must enter calculations nudged up only a 1lb for her excellent recent Godweood second. Kempton scorer Roar Emotion is firmly in the picture too, while handicap debutants Salamancan and Lucky Fifteen appeal as likely improvers.
