Perth Racecard - Sunday 9th June

SUNDAY 09 JUNE 2024

WELCOME TO THE EDINBURGH GIN LADIES DAY

We are delighted to welcome you all back to Perth Racecourse for our only fixture in June, The bet365 Gold Cup Day. Today’s eight race programme is highly competitive featuring the Perth Gold Cup and Perth Silver Cup, two excellent Chases.

The feature race today, The bet365 Perth Gold Cup, has been recorded to have first ran in 1825 for £100. The Gold Cup was reignited by the late Sam Morshead, who was the General Manager of the course until 2015. Sam brought back the Gold Cup in 2000, with Mac Supreme winning, trained by Ferdy Murphy. Today we celebrate the 25th running of the Perth Gold Cup in its current guise.

We are extremely grateful to our sponsor bet365, who have supported the whole card since 2020 when the Gold Cup was run in August due to COVID This will be their fifth year of sponsorship and we are delighted that we have 82 runners over eight competitive races to honour their support.

We’d also like to thank the connections of all the runners today, we are grateful that you have chosen to come and run your horses at Perth, and we are looking forward to some terrific action on the track.

Don’t forget to keep a look out for our newest member of the team, Athair, The Golden Horse. To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Perth Gold Cup, the Racecourse have commissioned a life size fibreglass gold horse, so please go and get your picture taken with Athair, he doesn’t bite.

Finally, we’d like to extend a warm welcome to all our racegoers, we are delighted to have you back at Perth Racecourse. Good luck and may the winners be a plenty.

Horse’s

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.

HANDICAPS

Once a horse’s ability has been assessed by the Official BHA Handicapper it is given an official rating. This is an assessment 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 160 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

One Fit Padded Hurdle: The ‘One Fit’ design is a modified hurdle frame with a custom fitting close-cell foam pad replacing the traditional birch. The hurdle was developed with the objective of reducing both the faller rate and the risk of injury as the result of a fall. 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 4ft 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 four 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.

Obvious chance if he doesn’t get too far back.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

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, both during their racing career and afterwards. 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 round 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

NEW CLAIMING PROCEDURES

The procedures for Claiming and Selling Races have changed. No Claims will be accepted on the racecourse No additional period is allowed for Friendly Claims. Registered Owners, Licensed and Permitted trainers may claim by telephone, to Weatherbys on 01933 303080

PHOTOGRAPHY

RADIOS AND MOBILE TELEPHONES

Stewards Note:

BISHOP HILL: Following its run on 15/5/2024 it was reported that the horse ran too freely

Probable S.P’s: 2-1 Clodders Dream (GB), Bishop Hill (IRE), 8-1 Kimjoy (IRE), 10-1 Buy Some Time (IRE), 14-1 Mongibello (GB), 20-1 Highland Fashion (GB), 25-1 Bleu Lagune (IRE), 100-1 The Jeweller’s Pet (IRE), 300-1 Tread Softly Now (GB) PLAY SMARTER

Gordon Elliott has bagged the last two runnings of this maiden and his CLODDERS DREAM holds the edge on form so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways Bishop Hill rates much the biggest threat, especially if the fitting of a hood ekes out some improvement. Kimjoy and Buy Some Time appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Racegoers may take photographs for private purposes. Under no circumstances may photographs taken on the racecourse be used for publication.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY IS ESSENTIALLY DANGEROUS WHERE HORSES ARE INVOLVED YOU ARE ASKED NOT TO USE FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY ANYWHERE IN THE GRANDSTAND ENCLOSURE AND PARTICULARLY NEAR THE WINNERS ENCLOSURE.

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
