WELCOME & MEET THE TEAM

On behalf of myself, and all of the team at Newcastle Racecourse, we would like to express our thanks to everyone involved in today’s Betfair Northumberland Plate meeting.

With plenty of uncertainty over the past months, we have been delighted to have been closley involved in the resumption of racing in Britain and to host what is a highlight of our summer flat programme this afternoon.

We once again welcome a fantastic partner in Betfair, in their second year of headline sponsorship of the meeting, which for the first time sees the Northumberland Plate and Vase run alongside the Chipchase and Hoppings Stakes as well as the Gosforth Park Cup all on the same day.

Equally, our thanks must go specifically to everyone at BHA, along with all of those associated with today’s race meeting, including jockeys, trainers, racing staff and everyone else. Whilst we are still unable to welcome the crowds we would be used to be seeing here for Betfair Northumberland Plate Day, we are delighted that the action will be broadcast across the nation on both Sky Sports Racing and on terrestrial television via ITV Racing.

I would like to specifically thank all of the racehorse owners who have supported the racecourse both today and at our meetings that have taken place throughout this month. I would like to wish all of those involved in today’s meeting the best of luck, and we look forward to welcoming you back on course as soon as possible.

Since the return of racing at the beginning of June, a total of six horses went on from winning here at Newcastle to win at Royal Ascot last week. These included Henry Ponsonby and Alan King’s 2019 Betfair Northumberland Plate winner Who Dares Wins, once again ridden by Tom Marquand. We hope that the likes of Palace Pier, Frankly Darling and Lord North may go on to some of the glories achieved by Stradivarius and Enable who also ran here early in their careers. Hopefully, we might even see some more stars this afternoon.

Finally, thanks from everyone associated with the racecourse to all of the NHS and key workers who have been doing such a tremendous job on behalf of us all at this difficult time. To you, and all of our loyal customers, thank you and we look forward to welcoming you back as soon as we can.

Star Ratings Explained

Jockey

Trainer

Sponsor Br

Br

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions.

A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in nonhandicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating. For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating.

Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): T Easterby (6 wins from 98 runners, 6%) runs BOLLIN NEIL LONGEST TRAVELLER: TILSIT trained by C Hills, Lambourn, 285 miles.

RACE SUMMARY This should be one-way traffic, with TILSIT the clear pick on the strength of his highly promising debut near miss over C&D earlier this month. He pulled a long way clear of the third that day and this well-bred colt is open to plenty of improvement. Brazen Bolt and Summer Escape are taken to fill the places, though Miracle Eagle’s debut was not devoid of promise and she also has each-way claims.

SECOND RACE 12.45 SIX FURLONGS FOR NOVICE TWO YRS OLD

(Penalty Value £4140.16) SS

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (15-20): R Fahey (74 wins from 604 runners, 12%) runs FAYATHAAN TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): M Johnston (17 wins from 105 runners, 16%) runs TOUSSAROK LONGEST TRAVELLER: FAYATHAAN trained by R Fahey, Malton, 90 miles.

RACE SUMMARY Mark Johnston’s 2-y-os have been typically fast off the blocks this season and TOUSSAROK could be another winning juvenile for the yard. He ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and confidence behind him in the betting would be an ominous sign. Inhaler made a winning start at Pontefract and has to be feared, despite the penalty, while Fayathaan is another noteworthy newcomer.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: TABDEED trained by Owen Burrows, Lambourn, 285 miles.

RACE SUMMARY It’s probably best to forgive TABDEED for a disappointing display in Group 3 company at Ascot when last seen in October, given that he has otherwise looked progressive during his stop-start career. There’s an air of unfinished business about this 5-y-o and his record when fresh augurs well ahead of this assignment. Staxton has slipped to an attractive mark and is feared most ahead of Gunmetal.

RACE SUMMARY

The manner of MUBAKKER’s reappearance success in a C&D handicap strongly suggested that he is ready for this step up in grade. Sir Michael Stoute’s charge can confirm that impression by seeing off established pattern-class sprinters Brando, Judicial and Major Jumbo. Brando was below par in the Abernant at Newmarket but he should be sharper now and may pose the greatest threat to Mubakker.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: OUTRAGE trained by D Kubler, Lambourn, 285 miles.

RACE SUMMARY There was much to like about the way MAGICAL SPIRIT did the job on return at Beverley and, armed with scope for further improvement, this 8lb higher mark may not be enough to stop him. El Hombre, who was a close third in this last year, and recent Haydock winner Venturous both look dangerous. Lahore had a couple of these behind when striking at Doncaster and is another to consider.

HORSE WELFARE Here at Newcastle Racecourse nothing matters more to us than looking after the horses that make us the North East’s Premier Racecourse. We do everything in our power to ensure that we provide a racing surface of the highest quality and we take every conceivable care to minimise the chances of horses incurring any injury whilst here.

Regrettably, as in any highly competitive sport, there are occasions when something goes wrong and horses have to be given the very best veterinary care.

There are three Veterinary Surgeons here today to ensure that should any horse need help they will be attended to within seconds of any incident occurring. Their first priority is to make a rapid diagnosis and to help them do this our groundstaff team will erect screens around any horse that needs attention. Once the diagnosis is made, one of our horse ambulances will attend the scene and will transport the horse back to the stables where further treatment and assessment can be undertaken.

Occasionally, it may be that the nature of the injury is such that a horse is unable to make a recovery.

If this is the case the Veterinary team may take the decision to put the horse down straight away. In these circumstances we should remember that the horse’s welfare comes first and that this option is kindest for the horse.

To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy please visit our website www.newcastle-racecourse.co.uk 19

RACE SUMMARY This represents a significant step up in class for VIRGIN SNOW, but she looked very promising indeed when making a winning reappearance at Haydock and the weight-for-age allowance may tilt the scales in her favour. The unbeaten Aloe Vera remains a filly of considerable potential and she will be a big threat if ready to roll following a 13-month lay-off. Look Around is also accorded respect.

RACE SUMMARY Preference in this trappy-looking contest is for AL KOUT, who shaped well when third behind a couple of unexposed 4-y-os at Wolverhampton and is now 4lb below his last winning mark.

Mondain is a likely pace angle and it would be no surprise were he to make a bold bid from the front off his reduced mark. Glan Y Gors completed the hat-trick in good style at Pontefract and also enters calculations.
