A very warm welcome to you all from the team here at Newton Abbot Racecourse, your support is very much appreciated and valued, and we hope you all have an enjoyable and successful day’s racing with us. Our thanks go to our sponsors here today who are Sky Sports, Sun Racing, St Austell Brewery, Devonport Royal Dockyard Social Club, The Par Inn, SWISCo and the friends and family of “Grandad Swales”. We hope that everyone has a great day. We are now well into the second half of our summer season. We have again managed to stage all racedays so far despite all the vagaries and challenges of the Devon weather! After today’s fixture we quickly move on to our next one which is on Friday 18th September when we once again host the finale of the Sun Racing Summer Jumps Championships so lots of stories from across the summer all coming together to culminate in an exciting finale not to be missed. In addition, after racing, the marvellous Rock Atlantic will be performing in the Paddock Suite, the latest in the Party In The Paddock series. Our ever-popular Autumn Saturday fixture is on 17th October, featuring the high-quality Intermediate Chase, plus Bootlegger’s Turn bring the Party In The Paddock events to a close. We round off with the Halloween Family Fun Day on Wednesday 28th October with the legendary pumpkin carving making its return, amongst lots more family entertainment and fun. Don’t forget too that Newton Abbot Racecourse is open all year round for events, special occasions, conferencing and much more, check out our events calendar on the website or drop us a line or give us a call if you have a specific enquiry or want to hold your event here. Finally thank you again for all your support through thick and thin, it is hugely appreciated and valued, and we hope to see you again soon (please see our full fixture list later in this racecard).

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.
You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

Harry Skelton J Dan Skelton, Alcester T The Air Ambulance Service (Warks & Northants), Ladbrokes S TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful winner on Flat for Johnny Murtagh. Has racked up 4 wins from 6 starts for all-conquering Dan Skelton yard this summer, landing another uncompetitive event with ease at Stratford in July. Could well make every yard in another small-field event. TFR BHA124
