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

newtonabbotracing.com KING’S SCHOLAR needs to sharpen up in the jumping department, but he’s still made an encouraging start to his hurdling career and gets the nod to complete the hat-trick back from a break with the potential to raise his game further based on his good-quality Flat form. Whermyrosemarygoes had more in hand than the final margin suggests on her recent hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and looks the obvious threat.

THE AUBREY LOZE MEMORIAL HANDICAP HURDLE RACE
Chairman here from 2002-2013, Aubrey Loze was a dynamic leader at the racecourse with a profound love for the sport. His racing colours were carried to great success by horses with local trainers and no winner gave him greater pleasure than winning here at Newton Abbot! Those Newton Abbot winners included the classy Native Fling. Trained by Philip Hobbs, the gelding was a massive 11-length winner here in 1998. They would go on to have great success together, even making the trip over to Ireland to score at Punchestown in 1999. Aubrey would go on to be named Honorary President of Newton Abbot Races in 2017 and 2018 and this race is run to honour his memory.
