Good afternoon and welcome to a new Jumps season here at Newbury Racecourse with the BetVictor Jumps Season Opener.

To mark the start of the 2023/2024 Jumps season, we kick off with the British Horse Society Charity Race at 11:30. Best of luck to all the riders in today’s race, raising money for such a good cause.

I would like to thank our sponsors for their generous support of today’s card, including title sponsor BetVictor, Agetur UK, CSP, Pertemps Network and The British Horse Society.

For those of you interested, make sure you join course expert David Crosse for the return of our popular Trips to the Jump which will take place for the 1:15pm and 3:00pm races and we ask that racegoers meet to the left hand side of the Weighing Room 20 minutes before.

If you are planning on joining us for the Coral Gold Cup meeting on 1 & 2 December, the lowest-priced Early Bird tickets are now sold out and discounted tickets are only available until Friday 24 November. Christmas comes early courtesy of the Coral Gold Cup with two days of breathless racing action, including the prestigious £250,000 Coral Gold Cup. Enjoy on-site entertainment including live music, a carousel, parade ring tours, and then party in the Coral Gold Cup marquee after the racing!

Tickets for the Coral Challow Hurdle Day are also on sale – and are available at the Early Bird rate until Friday 1 December – with Under 18s going free to what’s always a family-friendly day.

Tickets for 2024’s racedays have also been released. These are currently on priority sale at the brand new Super Early Bird rate, guaranteeing those who book early the best deal. To register for the priority sale – registering is free – simply visit www.newburyracecourse.co.uk/priority.

Once you’ve registered, you’ll have immediate access to these bestpriced tickets for next year’s action.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting the launch event for Newbury’s Monopoly last week, where we were able to welcome so many of those involved in the creation of a Newbury edition of Monopoly. You will notice the Racecourse has replaced a London classic, Park Lane, along with the Newbury Racecourse Station sitting close by. We’re looking forward to seeing the game on the shelves and it’s sure to be the shortpriced favourite in the Christmas present stakes.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our racegoers for joining us today. We are extremely grateful for all the support you provide us with, and we look forward to welcoming you back again for the Coral Gold Cup meeting.

Wishing you an enjoyable and profitable afternoon.

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.

Please gamble responsibly.

Although Brentford Hope failed to make a significant impact in the Swinton he remains a handicap hurdler with potential and is second choice ahead of last year’s runner-up Grivetana.

Emitom scored over C&D on debut for the Alan King yard when last seen in March and, still on a good mark up 5lb, he could be the one to follow the selection home.
