Our thanks very much go to our sponsors here today – the Par Inn and the Brunel Group We hope they and their guests have a great day’s racing with us.
We still have an exciting season ahead of us here at Newton Abbot, with plenty happening on and off course. Please have a look at our Fixture List with its raceday themes elsewhere in this official programme Next up is Sunday 20th July when we have our legendary Family Fun Day, which features the Rowcroft Hospice Mascot Race with a very strong and competitive field lining up (including our very own Blaze) half an hour before the first race (approx. 1.55pm). Added to that is all the usual family fun with a free goody bag for the first 200 kids, inflatables, face painting, Juggler, bubble fairy, hook a duck, hobby horse obstacle course and the playpark. The Family Fun Series continues to the end of the season with dates on Thursday 21st August and Wednesday 29th October, the final one with a Halloween theme.
On Saturday 30th August we have Harbour performing after racing and there’s a free pint of Tribute if you arrive within the first hour of gates opening (come and say hello to Frodon who will be here as part of National Racehorse Week), whilst our next Friday afternoon fixture on 19th September Not the Cowboys will be extending your first day of the weekend with a thumping set of classic tracks!
On the 9th September we stage our Bowel Cancer Awareness raceday and our Saturday in October (18th) features our Intermediate Chase which always brings together numerous high-class chasers.
We look forward to seeing you again soon, remember to book in advance online to get your Paddock tickets for £18 rather than the on the day £20. Course enclosure tickets are £13 and under 18’s come free!
Finally thank you to you all for supporting us through thick and thin, it is hugely valued and here’s to a memorable and successful rest of the season for all. Have a great day.

STAR RATINGS EXPLAINED
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

An interesting maiden for the time of year and it could pay to take a chance on the returning BREAKING COVER who had some solid form over hurdles prior to being let down by his jumping over fences. He may be able to get back on track over the smaller obstacles and is preferred to Roadshow who has shaped creditably in novice/maiden hurdles this year, while Three Pikes and Ensured both make appeal on their first outing over hurdles
GREAT BRITISH BONUS SCHEME
The Great British Bonus (GBB) incentivises and rewards with breeding, buying and racing of British-bred fillies by paying out bonuses of up to £100,000 per filly. And now with GBBPlus to further incentivise staying fillies and chasing mares, there are more reasons than ever to breed, buy and race British Majority funded by the HBLB
BETTING TICKETS
Customers of the Boards and Rails bookmakers should check their itemised tickets immediately on receipt, as mistakes cannot be rectified after the ‘off’.
Customers are reminded to retain all betting tickets until after the weigh-in, as immediate payment will be made only on production of the original ticket.
HORSE WELFARE AT NEWTON ABBOT
At all race meetings held at Newton Abbot Racecourse there are three specially qualified Veterinary surgeons appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action. One vet will attend the start and follow the race in his/her vehicle and attend fallen, lame or pulled up horses Another vet will observe the finishing straight from the small stand beside the last fence in the final straight. They will immediately attend fallen or lame horses at this last fence or flight of hurdles.
If directed, they may be required to attend other incidents in the final straight. The third vet will be available to complete the treatment of urgent cases within the stable yard. This third vet will, if not otherwise occupied, observe the race from the bank at the outside of the track by the ‘in-line’ steward’s box and be available to attend horses finishing the race
In the event of two vets being occupied treating an emergency case, the SVS will follow horses. Whenever possible, one of the Veterinary Surgeons should be present in the Unsaddling Enclosure after each race
USE OF SCREENS
It is now standard practise for screens to be erected around any horses when receiving veterinary attention. This does not reflect the severity of any injury, but allows the vet some privacy and the horse a calm environment in which to make a recovery.
Please do not therefore assume the worst if you see the screen erected around a fallen horse.
Racing to School is a nationwide education charity working across racing to inspire young minds, improve learning and raise career aspirations through unique, interactive, and healthy outdoor activities.
In 2025, we will engage a record 17,500 young people.
