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

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but

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. 1.

Something to like about all of these, but point-winner THE WOUNDED KNEE stands out as being on a potentially lenient mark for his handicap debut, with the significant step up in distance likely to benefit Ann Duffield’s novice. Veterans Caius Marcius and Lake Shore Drive can round out the placings in a race where none can be confidently ruled out.
