RACE SUMMARY NOBLE EXHIBIT made a promising debut at the Curragh last month behind the highlyregarded Monogram and, with the beneﬁt of that experience and this longer trip, can open his account. Francillon caught the eye when ﬁnishing well on debut in a mile Killarney maiden that has worked out well, and probably ran to a similar level of form when beaten at odds-on in Leopardstown. Dancinginthecity stayed 1m1f well when beating all bar betterfancied stablemate Zarak Pasha at the Curragh last month, while Imposing and Jacob B Good are two newcomers to note in the market.

HANDICAPS EXPLAINED

After three races on the track, the handicap rating system knows enough about a horse to give them an official rating, which in turn determines how much weight they carry in future contests. For example, if one horse is rated 100, and the other is rated 95, the horse rated five points more than the other will essentially carry an additional 5lb in weight. Should the horse carrying 5lb extra continue to beat horses rated inferior to them or amongst those with similar figures, that horse would rise up the class system to tackle harder races against better individuals. The aim of a handicap race is to give every horse an equal chance of winning, and the plan is to have every horse crossing the finish line at the same time - which is surprisingly yet to happen!

RACE SUMMARY QUEEN OF THE BOGS won a Curragh maiden over this trip last year and should beneﬁt from her seasonal reappearance at Fairyhouse when runner-up to Cowardofthecounty. Dial Me In wasn’t disgraced in competitive handicaps at Royal Ascot and Goodwood before shaping well in a conditions race at Roscommon, while the market should provide a guide to the chance of stablemate Golden Splendour, who won a Chantilly maiden on her only start last year. Puppet Master won the Lingﬁeld Derby Trial for Aidan O’Brien last year but hasn’t reached those heights since, while Minella Rockett is on a four-timer after a couple of narrow handicap wins.

BETTING EXPLAINED

The first thing to consider is which type of bet you wish to place. The most common is a win bet, where if your selection wins, you win. It is a no nonsense, on the nose bet and if you are lucky enough to pick a big-priced winner, you will receive a nice return. For example, place €5 to win on a 10-1 shot and you will receive €55 back, €50 winnings plus your €5 stake. Another common bet is each-way. This is effectively two bets in one. One bet is on your selection to win and the other is on it to place. Depending on the type of race and how many runners are in the race will determine how many places are offered. The industry standard bookmaker place terms are as follows: All races of less than 5 runners – win only All races of 5-7 runners –1/4 odds a place, 1,2 All other races of more than 8 runners – 1/5, 1,2,3 Handicaps of 12-15 runners – 1/4 , 1,2,3 Handicaps of more than 15 runners – 1/4 , 1,2,3,4

HORSE

WELFARE At every race meeting there are specially qualiﬁed equine veterinary surgeons on duty to look after the wellbeing of all horses. In total two veterinarians are in attendance at today’s meeting. The Blue Cross ambulance is always present to transport the horse back to the stable yard for further treatment if necessary. The horses’ welfare is our priority. The Association Of Irish Racecourse Veterinary Surgeons (AIRCVS)

Back Straight ran promisingly in a useful maiden on this card 12 months ago and has to command plenty of respect. Fleur De Provence has an excellent pedigree but needs to bounce back from a below-par effort at Leopardstown in June.

RACE SUMMARY REST YOUR MIND has a ﬁne pedigree and should be competitive in her ﬁrst handicap, having won a maiden at Galway in August. By Wootton Bassett, the selection is a half-sister to Cheltenham bumper winner A Dream To Share and Group 3 winner Raise You and she may now progress from what appears to be a very fair mark. Harana has proven ability for handicaps and is entitled to be competitive once again, while the slow-starting Lady Arwen has been in excellent form of late.

RACE SUMMARY Four-time winner RAMPAGE has useful recent form and would be aided by an easing in ground conditions. Well suited by this type of distance, he was narrowly beaten under today’s 7lb claimer at Gowran recently and has every chance of going one better from an unchanged mark. Spiritofthedawn ran well on her handicap debut at Navan and remains open to further progression being a lightly-raced three-year-old. Ohmali has won just once from 17 starts but should go well under his 10lb claimer, having been stretched stamina-wise on two of his last three starts.

Four-time winner Gloriously Glam has dropped in the handicap of late and could pose a solid threat, while Believe Believe completes the shortlist on his return from a break after ﬁnishing second at Gowran in May.

HEADGEAR EXPLAINED

Have you ever wondered why some horses wear headgear? Is it just a fashion accessory? Most deﬁnitely not. Headgear is a useful tool in the armoury of a trainer and is used to aid a horse’s performance on the track.

BLINKERS - Blinkers can be used to aid concentration. A half cup placed behind the horses eye helps them to keep looking forwards to focus on the job at hand - winning their race! VISORS - Very similar to blinkers but with a slit cut in the side of the cup, which enables a horse to see the other runners around them. CHEEKPIECES - Sheepskin Cheekpieces work on a similar principle to Blinkers and Visors but allow a slightly better range of vision. EYE SHIELDS - Eye Shields are a fine mesh that covers the entire eye but they do allow full vision. HOOD - Covering the ears and head, a hood is used for horses that are easily spooked by crowds or noises, rather than for concentration purposes. NOSEBAND - A Noseband is designed to restrict the field of vision and encourage a horse to focus on the race, usually lowering their head in the process. TONGUE STRAP - Horses do not breathe through their mouth but even so, it can hamper speed and performance to have their mouth open or tongue flopping about. A tongue strap prevents this by keeping the tongue in place for the duration of the race.

ABBREVIATIONS EXPLAINED You will occasionally see letters after a horses form ﬁgures in the racecard today - for example 45-2301 CD BF. But what do these actually mean and why are they shown?

C Stands for course and simply means that the horse has previously won here at Punchestown. You may have heard the phrase ‘Horses for courses’ which implies that some horses perform better at certain racecourses. Therefore, previous winning form here at Punchestown may suggest that it will run well again today. D Stands for distance and means that the horse has won over the same distance it is racing over today but at another racecourse. So today’s distance should suit. CD Stands for course and distance so not only has the horse previously won here at Punchestown but when doing so it also won over the same distance that it is racing over today. So, winning form over today’s course and distance may indicate that another strong performance is on the cards. C D If there is gap between the C and the D it means that the horse has previously won here at Punchestown and also won over the same distance that it is racing over today but at another racecourse. So today’s distance should suit and the horse will also be suited by the course. BF Stands for Beaten Favourite. Advises that a horse was well fancied in the past but despite being sent off favourite it failed to win. This can be off-putting to some punters especially if it is sent off favourite again today. So now when you run through today’s runners and riders, you can identify which horses run well here at Punchestown and those which will be well suited by the distance that they are racing over.
