Newton Abbot Racecard - Wednesday 5th June

ON BEHALF OF THE DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS AND STAFF , I AM DELIGHTED TO WELCOME YOU TO NEWTON ABBOT FOR TODAYS MEETING.

Following the end of last season, the racecourse has undergone some big changes and improvements. We have purchased a screen which we intend to utilise for other events at the racecourse. The weighing room has been re-configured and upgraded to comply with new safeguarding regulations. This includes an enlarged valets space, a physio room and warm-up area with bikes and gym equipment, and improved facilities for the jockeys.

We have a new Clerk of the Course in training. We are fortunate to still have the services of Jason Loosemore who will Clerk on racedays and assist Ben Robarts during some of his training. We also welcome Tom Phillips to the groundstaff team.

We thank you for attending today’s meeting, your support is very much appreciated.

We wish all Owners and Trainers with a runner here today every success. Best wishes,

STAR RATINGS EXPLAINED

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:

HHHHH Selected to win the race.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED

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.

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.

FAVORI DE SIVOLA is potentially well handicapped back with a yard he had success with so could be worth chancing after 7 months off Lightonthewing and Puddlesinthepark both arrive in top form having finished 1-2 over C&D last month and are others to consider.

SAINT BIBIANA took her form up a notch when going in at Stratford and a 6lb rise doesn’t look sufficient to prevent her from following up given she’s still unexposed over staying trips. The reliable Kentford Mallard appeals as the one to chase home Georgina Nicholls’ mare, with Maroochi, Jaunty Belle and Mollie Brown all worthy of respect too.

AMERICAN GERRY quickly dispelled a lesser effort when second behind an aggressively ridden rival over C&D 16 days ago, noted closing all the way to the line and, again partnered by Freddie Gingell, he looks to hold sound claims again. Him Malaya goes chasing following a good solid third over hurdles at Ludlow (form working out well) and he’s of interest. Up For Appeal is another to keep an eye on.

Hard to be bullish about many here, so it may be worth chancing WESTERN SOLDIER, who wasn’t seen to best effect under restraint at Hereford last time and looks on workable mark based on his Flat form. City Roller remains winless but arrives after a sound runner-up effort and also makes appeal, whilst handicap newcomer Ocean Ridge could do better in this sphere.
