Star Ratings Explained

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

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.

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 CHASES

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

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

No Smoking

Smoking or vaping is not permitted in any enclosed public places within Perth Racecourse It is an offence to smoke or knowingly to permit smoking in any enclosed areas of the Racecourse and where you see the no smoking sign.

New Claiming Procedures

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 winner’s enclosure.

Racecourse Safety Message

In the event of an emergency at the racecourse, all racegoers will be notiﬁed via safety messages over the racecourse PA System. Please follow the instructions of the messages and also of the racecourse staff and police In the event of evacuation, please remain calm and assist the racecourse by leaving your area in a safe and orderly manner

If you feel you require extra assistance, please notify the nearest member of the racecourse staff It is also forbidden to cross the course when the horses are out on it. Thank you for your assistance in this matter

Radios and Mobile Telephones

The use of all types of communication equipment is strictly controlled at all racecourses. Members of the public may not use two-way radios, scanning receivers etc., for any purpose at the racecourse Further details are available from the racecourse office.

Stable Staff Liaison

At Perth, as at the other racecourses in Scotland, the enjoyment and welfare of stable staff is very important to us. To help ensure that any ideas for improvements or any complaints can be addressed at a suitable time, Matthew Taylor

TOGETHER, LET’S CHANGE THE FUTURE OF BREAST CANCER

Ladies Day at Perth Racecourse is back for 2026, so grab your friends, dress to impress and let’s put the ‘fun’ in fundraising. To date, this incredible event has raised £125,000 for our work helping people affected by breast cancer. Here’s the difference that money could make:

• £100,000 could fund around 1 year of a lab-based research project. That’s salaries, running costs, equipment and everything else needed to tackle some of the biggest challenges in breast cancer.

• £20,000 could fund a doctoral student for around a year. That’s a researcher working towards their PhD. Developing and learning skills. And safeguarding the future of breast cancer research

• £5,000 could pay for just over 3 working weeks of research in the lab. Research is key to a future where everyone with breast cancer lives and lives well. And every week in the lab brings us one step closer.

You can donate at breastcancernow.org. And if you need us, we’re here with life-changing support and trusted information. Call our free helpline on 0808 800 6000 for answers and a listening ear.

LARGY FORCE continues to ﬂourish for this yard and might have shaded the verdict had she not made a mess of the last when narrowly beaten by a next-time-out winner at Uttoxeter. She’s fancied to regain the winning thread at the main expense of Inis Oirr, who took advantage of his reduced mark over C&D 3 weeks ago but isn’t one for maximum faith.
