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

ROADSHOW is well treated on his Flat form in France and back around 2m for handicap debut and also in receipt of a 4-y-o allowance, he has plenty to recommend him. Juggernaut was on the up when last seen so he’s a player, along with veteran Clearance.
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.
21-27JUNE
As part of Racing Staff Week, 27 stable staff from across the industry will be coming together to take part in THREE charity races including one at this racecourse today!
The dedicated riders will all work hard to raise awareness of Racing Welfare’s services and raise much-needed funds to support the charity’s work for racing’s people.

MANYANA BLUE is out of a mare that did well over hurdles for this yard and, having shown a fair level of ability in a handful of starts on the Flat, there are plenty of reasons to believe she could be up doing the business on her first try in this code Blue Tempus is another hurdling newcomer to note, while Return With Gold should be capable of bettering his initial effort in this sphere.

BYZANTIUM got back on the up on just his second start beyond 2m when landing a Warwick handicap in tidy fashion earlier in the month and looks capable of defying a penalty back in a novice with the step up in trip likely to suit. Kill The Groove and Golden Echo rate the principal threats in that order.
