SUSSEX NATIONAL RACEDAY SUNDAY 4TH JANUARY 2026 Official race programme £3.50
WELCOME Welcome to Plumpton BetGoodwin Sussex National Raceday. Welcome to Plumpton and from all the team we wish you a Happy New Year. We hope that you had a great festive period and enjoyed seeing families and friends. However, it’s great to see you all here to start the New Year in the best possible way before most of us return respectively to work, college or school tomorrow. With today marking the start of 2026, I would like to thank all our Partners; BetGoodwin, Southern Cranes and Access Ltd and Kalm Kitchen for their tremendous support throughout 2025. Along with today’s sponsors, BetGoodwin and Friends and Family of Zoe Davison we hope that you have a great day. We have a cracking 7 race card today, with 47 runners declared and prize money worth over £160,000. Our two main races are the Sussex National and the Sussex Stayers Hurdle, worth £50,000 each. Both renewals look competitive. With today being the penultimate official day of Christmas, we have decided to keep the Christmas theme across the site. We have installed a mini ice-skating rink which is located next to the Final Fence restaurant and then we have live music from Plumpton favourites, Queue the Audio, who will be performing in the Paddock Bar throughout the day. Our next two fixtures are on Monday 26th January and Monday 9th February so if you are thinking of booking tickets or hospitality for either day then make sure you visit our website or contact one of our team. Key for 2026 is making a plan for our Easter Festival which will be held on Sunday 5th April and Monday 6th April. By booking now you will secure our best ticket prices as this is our most popular racing weekend with both tickets and hospitality always in high demand. Have a lovely day at Plumpton, Heart Of Our Community. Once again, Happy New Year to you all.

Bridle - A piece of tack that fits over a horse’s head and to which the bit and reins are attached. Bumper - Also known as a National Hunt Flat race, this race has no obstacles. Used as a way to give horses race experience before tackling hurdles and fences. Chase - A race run over fences. Cheekpieces - A form of headgear which consists of pieces of sheepskin placed on either side of the bridle and performs a similar job as blinkers in helping the horse to concentrate. Clerk of the course - The person responsible for the overall management of a racecourse on a raceday. Fences - The type of obstacle jumped during a chase race. Furlong - A unit of measurement. A furlong is an eighth of a mile or a little more than 201 meters. Going - The underfoot conditions at the racecourse. Going Stick - A device used to measure the underfoot conditions at the racecourse. Handicap - A type of race in which horses carry different weights depending on their overall rating, which is determined by the handicapper. Hood - A type of headgear fitted over the horse’s head to cover its ears and muffle the noise of a raceday. Hurdles - The obstacles jumped during a hurdle race. They are smaller than fences and therefore take less jumping. Sometimes referred to as flights. Length - The length of a horse from its nose to the start of its tail, and a measurement used to describe the distances between horses at the finish line. Maiden - A horse who has yet to win a race. Neck - A measurement used to describe a winning margin in a close finish. Non-runner - A horse withdrawn from a race for which it had been declared.

Pulled up - A horse who is brought to a halt during a race by its jockey. Pulling - A horse who is keen during a race and wants to go faster than its jockey is allowing. Pushed out - Describes a horse who has gone clear of its rivals in a race after minimal urging from its jockey. Staying on - A phrase referring to a horse who finished strongly during the closing stages. Stewards’ inquiry - An inquiry held at the racecourse on a raceday after any given race. Tongue-tie - A strap used to tie down a horse’s tongue to prevent the tongue getting over the bit which affects a horse’s breathing. Turn of foot - A term to describe marked acceleration during a race. Under starter’s orders - Before a race, the starter brings the field of horses into order to prepare them for the start of the race. Weighed in - Every horse in a race has to carry a certain amount of weight. To ensure it does, all jockeys must weight in/out both before and after a race. The ‘weighed in’ announcement made after the race means the result stands.
RACE 1 RACE 2
CUBAN COURT made a winning debut over fences when scoring at Doncaster last month. Less than fluent on that occasion, Neil King’s charge will have learnt plenty from the experience and a 3lb rise is not insurmountable. Officer of State faced a tough task at Lingfield on his chasing debut, but he returns to handicap company with a shout and looks the main threat, ahead of Presenting A Queen and Quantock Hills. totewin: Cuban Court toteeachway: Officer of State
RACE 3
INTOSOMETHINGGOOD has already won three times over hurdles and looks capable of adding to his tally on these terms. A 10lb penalty is halved by Toby McCain-Mitchell’s allowance, and a repeat of his solid fourth in Grade 2 company at Cheltenham last month would make the five-year-old hard to beat. There looks more to come from the recent C&D winner The Boss Bear, while Catchintsavo could also shape well. totewin: Intosomethinggood toteeachway: The Boss Bear
RACE 4
Bottom-weight Avada Kedavra is the sole C&D winner in the field and commands respect, but an 11lb hike for his latest success looks harsh and that might open the door for AMERICAN SNIPER. The eight-year-old put in a bold display when second over 2m3f at Taunton and the handicapper may have been kind to only put him up 1lb. If David Pipe’s gelding can back that effort up, he could be the one to beat. The in-form Turndlightsdownlow is another to note. totewin: American Sniper toteeachway: Avada Kedavra
RACE 5
Enjoy d’Allen won at Fakenham recently and now competes off a 5lb higher mark but, based on old form, he has every chance of defying that rise. Even so, KEN ROY looks the way to go. Paul Nicholls’ inmate finished third when upped to an extended 3m3f at Fontwell in November, shaping as if this extra furlong would suit. This is just his third chase start and he looks the one to be on. Of the remainder, Invincible Nao makes the most appeal. totewin: Ken Roy toteeachway: Enjoy d’Allen
Winning course form is a positive here, and although ATREIDES unseated in the hunt for a hat-trick at Wincanton, he did win over course and distance in early December. Off 8lb higher now, he needs a career best but he may have more to offer. Godot is also a C&D winner after winning this in 2024 and he is a huge danger off the same mark, while Icare Grandchamp can also go well if he puts in a clear round. totewin: Atreides toteeachway: Godot
RACE 7
Chris Gordon has trained two of the last four winners of this race and is represented here by the progressive GENERAL BRIAR. The seven-year-old showed his appreciation for the return to a shorter trip by making all over C&D last month and is taken to defy a penalty. Looping d’Arc is also penalised after scoring nicely at Southwell on his hurdling bow. He looks the main danger, with Reteti and Cayman Dancer pick of the remainder. totewin: General Briar toteeachway: Looping d’Arc
RACE 6
TODAY’S TOP TIPS
Birthday Angel was not disgraced when fifth last time in a better race at Wincanton and he can go well despite top weight, as can Getmetothemoon. However, POSTPONED LEGACY is difficult to oppose after winning by an eased down seven and a half lengths at Uttoxeter on Wednesday. A 7lb penalty seems more than reasonable given the impression he created that day. totewin: Postponed Legacy toteeachway: Birthday Angel
