Star Ratings Explained - Each horse has 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.

Official BHA Rating - The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions

A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed.

Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

HOW TO UNDERSTAND BETTING & FORM

Having a flutter is part of the fun of a day at the races.

P I C K YO U R W I NN ER

Many people select a horse based on its name or jockey colours whilst others go to the Parade Ring and pick their favourite looking horses. Alternatively, you may wish to follow a particular jockey or trainer, or a tipster in a newspaper Others like to look at the horse’s previous races or ‘form’.

W H E R E TO P L AC EYO U R BE T

You can place a bet in the Betting Ring, in front of the Grandstand, with a racecourse ‘bookies’. This is great fun as you can shop around for the bookmaker offering the biggest odds on your selection. Alternatively, you can place a bet at one of the many totepool betting points all around the racecourse or at the totesport betting shop on the ground floor of the Petch Stand, which is identical to a high street betting shop.

P L AC E YO U R BE T!

Decide how much you want to stake and what type of bet you would like to place. Then cheer your selection home! There are a few simple rules that you need to follow after placing your bet. Please check your receipt. Mistakes cannot be rectified after a race has started. Keep your bet receipt safe as you will need this to collect your winnings. Don’t throw away your ticket until the racecourse announcer says ‘Weighed In’. Even if your horse has not won, the result may be changed if there is a Stewards’ enquiry’.

RED CAR SELECTION

Look out for the Red Car that highlights today’s selections for each race.

CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF EDWARD HIDE

Redcar Racecourse is today proud to honour one of the greatest jockeys to ever grace our track.

Edward Hide, who passed away earlier this month, aged 86, will be fondly remembered by many of our racegoers as a Redcar specialist.

Cock of the North 16 times, his Redcar victories included three Zetland Gold Cups on Henry VII (1962), Move Off (1977), and Say Primula (1987). He also won six English classics, including the 1973 Epsom Derby on Morston.

Today’s meeting – the first meeting since he died – features the Celebrating The Life of Edward Hide Restricted Novice Stakes in Edward’s honour.

Sadly, Eddie’s family can’t be with us today, but they will be guests of honour at a meeting soon.

Rest in peace, Eddie, and thanks for the memories.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW

MERRIJIG has had the form of his latest Carlisle near miss boosted and ought to make a bold bid in this finale Lincoln Rockstar might pull out a bit more for this trip and is second choice ahead of fellow 3-y-o filly Lady Bracken, who has yet to show much but has fewer convictions than the majority of these and her leading stable is in good form.

iDISTANCES EXPLAINED

Races on the flat are run over a range of different distances. The shortest distance is 5 furlongs which is often referred to as ‘the minimum trip’. Races usually go up in 1 furlong increments although it can be parts of a furlong depending on the configuration of each racecourse. For example, races classed as being run over 6 furlongs at Redcar are actually run over 5 furlongs and 217 yards - 3 yards short of the official distance but this isn’t unique on British racecourses.

You may be fooled into thinking that the 2 miles and 4 furlongs Gold Cup at Royal Ascot is the longest race on the flat in Britain but it is in fact another Royal Ascot race that holds the record. The Queen Alexandra Stakes is run over a stamina-sapping distance of 2 miles and 6 furlongs. Horse racing in Britain dates back hundreds of years so it is hardly surprising that we still use a few historic terms when it comes to the sport. But what exactly is a furlong? In simple terms, a furlong equates to 220 yards or just over 200 metres.
