HANDICAPS

Once a horse’s ability has been assessed by the Official BHA Handicapper it is given an official rating. This is a judgement that determines how much weight it shall carry compared to the other runners. In simple terms a horse rated 100 carries 2lbs less than a horse rated 102. A rating over 130 is well above average and the winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup is normally rated over 150.

Most handicap races have an upper rating limit to encourage runners of similar ability to take part and make a competitive race e.g. 0-110, and a 28lb weight-range.

HURDLE RACES

Hurdles are made of ash with a birch filling, with foam padding on all legs and top rails. They are 3ft high and placed in the ground at an attractive angle to encourage horses to jump them fluently.

At Perth there are five flights of Hurdles on the course. Eight are jumped in a two mile race, nine in a race over two miles and five furlongs and eleven in a race over three miles.

STEEPLE CHASE Steeplechase fences are made from hardwood frames stuffed tightly with birch. When making a fence the birch is packed in at a height of approximately 6ft, then cut down to a maximum height of 3ft 6”. There are five ‘plain fences’ on the course at Perth and two ‘open ditches’. An Open Ditch is the same height as a plain fence but has a small ditch in front of the fence to make them a bigger test for the horse and rider.

At Perth there are two open ditches on the course, the first fence in the straight and the first down the back straight. Perth is one of the last remaining racecourses to have a Water Jump, this is situated in front of the main Grandstand and is much smaller than the other fences, with a 6ft wide water jump behind a small birch fence.

There are eight steeplechase fences on the course. Twelve are jumped in a race over two

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.

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.

miles, fifteen over two miles and five furlongs and nineteen in races over three miles.

WEIGHT FOR AGE RACES

These races are designed to provide a fair and competitive contest before a horse is allocated a weight, according to his ability, to run in a Handicap. These races are therefore normally for young horses aged from 3 to 5-y-o. As a 5-y-o is deemed to be stronger than a 3-y-o he/she will be made a to carry a little more weight. Once a horse has won a weight for age race he/she will be asked to carry a ‘penalty’; this is normally an additional 7lbs. Once a horse has won or run three times in a Weight for Age race he can be assessed and given a weight in a Handicap Race.

FACTS AND STATISTICS OF A RACEHORSE AND JOCKEY SILKS The silks that jockey wears belong to the racehorse owner rather than the jockey. Each set is uniquely designed. Such is the demand for famous colours, they can sell for £10K plus.

RACING SADDLE Can weigh between 5lb and 14lb.

JOCKEY’S BOOTS

is 20ft.

STRIDE FREQUENCY Between 120 and 130 strides per minute.

Average speed 25mph.

KEY MUSCLES The speed and propulsion comes from the hindquarters, namely from the gluteal muscles which extend up the hip, and the hamstring group which extend the stifle and hock joints.

The horse below is Nigel Twiston-Davies’ FLYING ANGEL who got off the mark at the first time of asking over fences, when winning here in September 2016.

He subsequently followed up in the Grade 2 Kingmaker Novices’ Chase at Warwick and he recorded a first Grade 1 success when he landed the Manifesto Novices’ Chase at Aintree.

JOCKEY’S HEIGHT The average Jump jockey is below 6ft and weighs between 9st and 10st.

BREATHING The horse’s lungs breathe in and out 140 times per minute delivering 150 litres of air per second. At 10,000 litres per race, that is what a human breathes in a day.

HEART CAPACITY Up to 240 beats per minute moving 60 pints of blood during a race. A racehorse’s

is 500kg. They can lose around 5% (25kg) in a single race.

FUEL CONSUMPTION A horse uses 35,000 calories per day. A human adult male is advised to eat just 2,500!

Up another 4lb but this improving mare is not taken lightly.

TFR####! BHA107 DECLARED RUNNERS 5 2021: PUTTING GREEN 9 11 5 Aidan Coleman 3-1 (Neil Mulholland) 7 ran Tongue Strap worn by No. 1. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 1, 2, 4.

Stewards Note: ROOKIE TRAINER: Following its run on 29/6/2022 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.

Probable S.P’s: 7-4 Glen Ava (IRE), 5-2 Keepthefaithinme (IRE), 7-2 Caius Marcius (IRE), 9-1 Rookie Trainer (IRE), 22-1 Moonlight Beam (IRE)

PLAY SMARTER

CAIUS MARCIUS lost absolutely nothing in defeat at Market Rasen and this veteran can bag another course success nudged up just 1lb for that excellent second placing behind Ask Paddington. Glen Ava has a career-high mark to overcome but still rates the obvious threat in her bid to complete a four-timer over C&D, with Irish challenger Keepthefaithinme not taken lightly either in a competitive handicap.

PLAY SMARTER

FRIARY ROCK failed to justify support at Southwell last time, but he makes his handicap debut in this sphere from an appealing opening mark judged on his Wexford success a year ago, so gets the nod. Last year’s winner Pardon Me perhaps still needed the run at Southwell and can’t be ruled out, with Raddle And Hum also feared.

The 6-y-o has got his act together over hurdles in recent weeks the booking of James King adds to his appeal. Flighty Bride failed to build on PLAY SMARTER her reappearance run when down the field at Southwell, but she is capable of playing a part here and is preferred to Into The Sunset and Silkstone for forecast purposes.
