PLAY SMARTER

Having made the frame twice this year, MINELLADESTINATION scored for the first time since her debut when successful at Stratford last month and a 2lb rise in the weights might not prevent her from following up Bella Bluesky was a bit better than she could show at Kelso last time and is feared most, ahead of handicap debutante Beauty To Behold.

Horse Welfare

Racing’s top priority is the safety and welfare of horse and rider People join the racing industry because they share a genuine love for horses. Like most sports, racing carries risks, however, we work to ensure that no death or injury occurs which could have been prevented. Horses have the right to a decent and fulfilling life. We are committed to minimising risks, dealing quickly and humanely with injuries and maintaining the highest possible quality of life for the animals in our care.

It is now standard practice for screens to be erected around any horse receiving veterinary attention on the course This does not reflect the severity of the injury, but allows the vet some privacy in which to administer treatment and provides the horse with a calm environment in which to make a recovery Please therefore do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse
