TODAY’S TIPS
LIZ BARKER Racecourse Administrator JAMES HUTCHINSON Managing Director JONATHAN MULLIN Operations + Marketing SARA MARTIN Catering Manager AMY RYAN Raceday Presenter CARL TONKS Head Groundsman CHARLES YOUNG Raceday Administrator JANE HUTCHINSON Commercial ManagerGood afternoon and welcome to Yorkshire’s Garden Racecourse for what promises to be a great afternoon of racing!
Our feature race today is the 1m2f Ripon Cathedral Handicap at 4.20 and five of the runners scheduled to go to post have previous winning form over course and distance. Cockalorum got the better of Society Red and Poet’s Dawn when they met here last month and that trio look closely matched today but none of the eight contenders could be confidently overlooked.
We have £6000 up for grabs in the William Hill Ripon Champion Bonus this season and the current leader, Another Baar, is on 4 points following a win and third place here already this season. The Adrian Keatley-trained three-year-old will be looking to add to his points tally in the 4.50 race today.
It’s half term week so we have some activities to entertain the children over in the Course Enclosure with a bouncy castle, balloon modelling and face painting. We also welcome local vocalist Lily Worth who is making her debut on the bandstand this afternoon.
Wishing you a wonderful day and we hope to see you again for racing next Wednesday evening. Looking further ahead we have a double header later this month with racing on Wednesday evening 21st June, featuring our Best Dressed Gentleman competition sponsored by Harrogate Town AFC and then Ladies Day on Thursday 22nd June which is always one of the highlights of the season.
Very best regards.

NOTE: All statistics are up to and including -1st June
TOKYO DRIFTwas able to put a below-par effort behind her when hitting the crossbar at Thirsk (promoted from third) and the daughter of Showcasing might go one better First-timecheekpiecescouldhelpekeoutfurtherimprovementfromSnafiya,whomerits respect having posted two solid efforts in defeat Melisende is another to consider, while market support would make Pretty Crystal of interest ahead of her debut.
WIN: TOKYO DRIFT
DANGER: SNAFIYA
Indiana Be sets the standard on official ratings, but the free-going son of Sioux Nation was far too keen once again over 7f at Redcar and is worth opposing with GOLD GUY He has yet to match his promising debut effort, including when finishing behind Indiana Be two starts ago, but a step up in trip could unlock some improvement. Sidney’s Son was entered in a similar contest at Beverley on Wednesday but would be a leading candidate if eligible to run here.
WIN: GOLD GUY
DANGER: INDIANA BE
Tim Easterby and David Allan teamed up for success in this contest last year and theymight be able to repeat the dosewith GOLDEN MELODY,who also represents the same winning owner The Belardo mare is back on her last winning mark and should find this more suitable than the 0-90 she contested at Nottingham last month.Tele Red merits the utmost respect having been narrowly denied over C&D 11 days ago, while Billy Roberts heads the remainder.
WIN: GOLDEN MELODY
RACE 4
DANGER: : TELE RED
HAARAR has a first-timevisorapplied and he appears to have been found a decent opportunity to get back to winning ways if the experiment is successful. The four-year-old has little to fearoverthis sort oftrip and having lacked a finishing kick in his two starts this season, the headgear could be vital in keeping him focused near the finish. Gastronomy rates as best of the rest, with Frankendael also feared.
WIN: HAARAR
RACE 5
DANGER: GASTRONOMY
CockalorumhadSocietyRedalengthbehindinsecondwhenhescoredovertrackandtrip in April but had enough in hand at the finish to suggests he can uphold the form off 2lb higher However, this is a deeper race and fellow C&D winner BARYSHNIKOV, who was an excellentthird inthe ZetlandGold Cup onMonday, could bemore rewarding tofollow if none theworse forhis Redcarexertions. Nigwa alsowarrants serious consideration.
WIN: BARYSHNIKOV
DANGER: COCKALORUM
WE’RENOTREALLYHERE arrives in top form having won two of his last three, and a further 3lb rise for his most recent success at Thirsk may not be enough to stop him from going in again. If handling the better ground, he should be able to follow up at the main expense of C&D winner Lily In The Jungle and Another Baar, who has been in consistent form of late
WIN: WE’RENOTREALLYHERE
DANGER: LILY IN THE JUNGLE
Runner-up on his last two starts, MACHO PRIDE has done very well since joining the Ruth Carr stable and this looks like an ideal opportunity to end a long losing streak. Denied by the narrowest of margins at Ayr, Giselles Izzy can give him the most to think about, along with Round The Island, who has dropped down to 1lb below his last winning mark. Others to note include Flavius Titus, Gullane One and Hurstwood.

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.
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.

RAJAWAIL: Following its run on 16/5/2023 it was reported that the horse jumped right handed.

INDIANA BE’s latest Redcar third has to go down as disappointing but the pick of his form gives him sound claims in this line up and he’s probably worth another chance in the hope he settles better on this occasion. Sidney’s Son’s participation (due to run at Beverley on Wednesday) would put a different slant on things given he remains open to improvement and he, along with Gold Guy, can also feature.

This is a one mile and one furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 51 to 70 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 mile and four furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 56 to 75 To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times 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 rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 75 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 70.

This is a one mile and one furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 71 to 90 Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb.

This is a six furlongs handicap race for four-yearolds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 55 Like most handicaps on the flat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight which here is 9st 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 considered a disadvantage.
