Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to Yorkshire’s Garden Racecourse.

This evening we are joined by our fellow members of Ripon BID (Business Improvement District) as we work collectively to promote our wonderful little city. Please keep an eye out for the promotional video clip on the big screen and stop for a chat with the representatives from the attractions and accommodation providers at their stands in the Paddock Enclosure.

On the track we have six races to go at and the feature is the Armstrong Memorial Handicap at 7.40, run in memory of all members of the Armstrong family who have contributed enormously to the racecourse over the years.

It looks a competitive heat with Myristica on a hat-trick after following up her win here with another success at Beverley and her stablemate and three-time course winner, Fishable, both sure to prove popular as well as recent C&D winner Society Red. Team Tim Easterby have opened up what appears to be an unassailable lead in the Goodbye Flys Stable Staff Championship and they look almost sure to take the £5000 first prize but the race for the £2000 second prize and £1000 third prize is very much on with six stables separated by just 13 points. There are another 96 points to play for this evening so every race counts.

Our next meeting is the opening day of the Sky Bet Go Racing in Yorkshire Summer Festival on Saturday 16th July, featuring the Titanium Racing Ripon Bellringer Handicap. Wishing you a great evening with us and we hope to see you again soon.

Very best regards.

JAMES HUTCHINSON Managing Director

NOTE: All statistics are up to and including 2nd July.

TODAY’S TIPS RACE

1

LIBERATION BAY got off the mark in decisive fashion at Yarmouth recently and further improvement looks assured with apprentice Harry Davies offsetting the majority off a 7lb penalty. Similar comments apply to narrow Carlisle scorer Claretina, who must enter calculations along with the class-dropping Miss Mai Tai, who was last seen contesting the Albany at Royal Ascot. Of the newcomers, Greycious Anna stands out for connections that have had plenty of success with juveniles this season.

WIN: LIBERATION BAY

RACE

2

The Tim Easterby stable is beginning to hit top gear and MARBUZET looks just the type to continue progressing following a gutsy success at Thirsk last week. The drop back in trip should not inconvenience either as he looks to fend off the likes of Bath second Cavendish and Ramamaras Boy, who looks to have been crying out for this trip all season. Overstate is another who could have a say in proceedings.

WIN: MARBUZET

RACE

3

4 5 6

DANGER: MENAI BRIDGE

GLAM DE VEGA ran with promise on both his starts as a juvenile, including when second to Walk Of Stars at Nottingham in November, and this appears to be the ideal opportunity for Roger Varian’s colt to shed the maiden tag. Wilkins is likely to be happier dropping back to a mile following his recent third at Windsor and he warrants plenty of respect with his stable currently in terrific form. Kaatibb and newcomer Desert Glory appear best of the remainder.

WIN: GLAM DE VEGA

RACE

DANGER: DEPUTY

MYRISTICA has benefited from the application of cheekpieces on her last couple of outings, winning here and at Beverley in the space of a week, and the four-year-old makes plenty of appeal in her bid for a hat-trick of victories. Menai Bridge returned to form when runner-up at Lingfield last month and he is capable of being in the mix along with Matchless, who may benefit from dropping back in trip having won twice over this distance earlier this year.

WIN: MYRISTICA

RACE

DANGER: RAMAMARAS BOY

Narrowly denied on his last two outings, POET’S DAWN has been shaping as though a return to the winner’s enclosure may be imminent and he can do so off a mark 17lb lower than his last success. Deputy is beginning to get the hang of things since joining new connections and he is entitled to be thereabouts along with Sydney Bay, who is interesting on the step up in trip. Others to note include Havana Party, Hear Me Roar and Safran.

WIN: : POET’S DAWN

RACE

DANGER: CLARETINA

DANGER: WILKINS

GOLDEN DUKE returned to winning ways at Leicester on his latest start when building on a couple of placed efforts and a 2lb rise is unlikely to stop him from being competitive once again. Kendred Fire returned to form when second at Redcar last month and better is expected having shown form at this track last year. Justjamie sports cheekpieces for the first time on his handicap debut and he is capable of stepping forward.

WIN: GOLDEN DUKE

DANGER: KENDRED FIRE

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile four furlong handicap race for three-year-olds which have been rated from 46 to 55.

In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far.

The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than a lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.

This is a one milehandicap race for three-year-olds which have been rated from 51 to 70. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three ti mes in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rati ng then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 75 in this parti cular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 70.

RACE DESCRIPTION

Like most handicaps on the flat, this one mile and two furlongs handicap for three-year-olds and upwards rated between 76 and 95 is also open to horses which are rated below that particular band.

However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is.

This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is usually a disadvantage.

Horse

The term ‘maiden’ inspires thoughts of damsels in distress but in horse racing it takes on a different meaning. When a horse is referred to as a maiden, be it a colt or a filly, it simply means that they have yet to win a race. There are a variety of reasons why the three-year-olds in this one mile and two furlongs race could still be maidens.

Stoutly bred animals can often be too weak and immature to do themselves justice as juveniles whilst a set back or injury can often curtail even the most precociously bred animal’s two-year-old season.
