Good evening and a very warm welcome to Yorkshire’s Garden Racecourse!

It’s hard to believe that this is our penultimate meeting of the 2023 season. The season has fairly flown by and it seems like just yesterday we were preparing to start it all off!

Our award-winning Stables Championship is reaching it’s climax with last year’s winning stable, that of Tim Easterby, once again leading the way with 128 points. Adrian Keatley’s team lead the chasing pack with 107, having had a remarkable 14 Best Turned Out awards this season! Team Charlie Johnston is also within touching distance in third place with 101 points. The winning stable will collect £5000 to distribute amongst their staff, the runner-up £2000 and the third-place team £1000.

Our inaugural William Hill Ripon Champion Bonus leader is Twelfth Knight who has amassed 10 points with two wins, a second and two third placed efforts from his six runs here this season. Edwina Sheeran could close the gap to just one point should she win the 7.00 race this evening.

We hope you have a most enjoyable evening we hope to see you again for our season finale on Saturday 30th September.

JAMES HUTCHINSON Managing Director

NOTE: All statistics are up to and including 3rd September.

RACE 1

A match to open the card and while the unraced Karmology may have a decent future as a daughter of Golden Horn out of a Shamardal mare, she is an unknown quantity and DOOM is preferred. The daughter of Dubawi was second to the subsequent Oaks winner Soul Sister on her final start as a two-year-old and filled the same position on her return to action at Newmarket last month.

WIN: DOOM

RACE 2

DANGER: KARMOLOGY

ROGUE ENFORCER was third on his only start to date, when coming home four lengths adrift of the odds-on Array at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago. Slowly awayand outpaced on that occasion, the son of Profitable can onlyimprove for the experience. Glory Hyde was well held on her debut at Thirsk but does represent an in-form stable, although the recent course-fourth Bill’s Baar may be the bigger danger

WIN: ROGUE ENFORCER DANGER: BILL’S BAAR

RACE 3

Chester Le Streak arrives here having made all at Beverley last time and, although he has to carry a 5lb penalty, he is a tenacious sort at the top of his game. The four-year-old can go well again, but FLAVIUSTITUS may have his measure after he came out on top when the pair met at Thirsk last month. Canaria Prince is another to consider as the first-time cheekpieces may bring him back to form.

WIN: FLAVIUS TITUS

RACE 4

DANGER: CHESTER LE STREAK

Motawaazy has failed to fire on his last couple of starts but is a player based on the pick of his form. The seven-year-old can go well, as can STARPROOF, who has won two of her last three starts. The daughter of Camacho is only 4lb higher than when winning at Ffos Las on her most recent outing and merits plenty of respect. The unexposed Havana Pursuit is another to consider

WIN: STARPROOF

RACE 5

DANGER: MOTAWAAZY

URBAN DECAY looks to be the one with the most potential as she makes her handicap debut after a Southwell success and a Wolverhampton fifth on her last two starts, failing to get home over further on the most recent of those occasions. The daughter of Frankel could prove too good for Eastern Charm, who has won her last four starts, as well as the recent Hamilton second Golden Melody

WIN: URBAN DECAY

RACE 6

DANGER: EASTERN CHARM

Lincoln Rockstar looks to be the pick of David O’Meara’s pair with DannyTudhope riding and she could challenge C&D winner Blue Antares in the race for second, but top-weight EDWINASHEERANticksalotmoreboxes.Threewinsthisyear,twoofwhichcameatthis venue,havebeenfollowed bysolidplaced efforts elsewhere and shewasbeaten less than two lengths at Thirsk last month. The three-year-old appears to have plenty in her favour once again, although she does need a careerbest towin offhernewmark.

WIN: EDWINA SHEERAN

RACE 7

DANGER: LINCOLN ROCKSTAR

All Dunn isyet to prove that he can repeat his winning all-weather form on turf but could still make the frame in a race of this nature. Fortuitous Star was only beaten a neck off 1lb lower two starts ago before a fifth at Carlisle last time. However, PACO’S PRIDE has been third on her last two starts off 1lb higher and it would be no surprise to see her go a couple of places better here.

WIN: PACO’S PRIDE

STAR RATING EXPLAINED

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.

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.

B f Dubawi (IRE) - Dank

Owner: Mr James Wigan

Trainer: William Haggas, Newmarket

RACE DESCRIPTION

This one mile contest for fillies and mares aged three-years-old is a maiden stakes - a race for horses that have yet to record a racecourse victory. There are a variety of reasons why the older horses in this race could still be maidens. Stoutly bred horses are unlikely to be seen at their best over the shorter distances of their juvenile season whilst a setback or injury can curtail even the most precociously bred horse’s two-year-old career

2022: PERSIST 3 9 2 Tom Marquand 2-1 (William Haggas) 12 ran

DOOM was just touched off by none other than subsequent Oaks heroine Soul Sister on her final 2-y-o start, and she was again narrowly outpointed when returning from a 10-month absence at Newmarket Unless newcomer Karmology turns out to be well above-average, Doom should deservedly open her account in this match.

SIX FURLONGS

This race is a six furlongs maiden stakes for two-year-olds. Maiden races provide a starting point for young horses that are yet to record a victory and most will be very lightly-raced or be making their racecourse debuts. Previous experience can count for a lot when searching for the winner but well-bred or precocious juveniles are more than capable of landing the prize at the first time of asking.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

Whilst we always endeavour to take appropriate steps to ensure your safety, comfort and enjoyment, an incident may occur which is beyond our control and it is therefore important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency

We employ Safety Attendants whose job it is to ensure your safety In the event of a situation which requires a partial or full evacuation of the Stands, announcements will be broadcast and the Attendants will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your belongings with you and proceed out of the enclosure quickly and quietly under their guidance.

The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area. It may give you peace of mind if you pre-plan and agree a meeting place with your party, just in case you become separated.

If we are unable to re-occupy the Stands for any reason, you will be advised immediately, and, if it is considered safe to do so, you will be invited to return to your car or coach.

The departure from car and coach parks will be under the direction of the Police. These are precautionary arrangements which we trust will not be required. However, in the event of an emergency please remember: TAKE YOUR BELONGINGS WITH YOU AND UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE ATTENDANTS PROCEED QUICKLY AND QUIETLY TO THE SAFE AREA THEN TO YOUR AGREED RENDEZVOUS POINT OR TO YOUR CAR OR COACH.

ROGUE ENFORCER made a promising start when third at Newmarket and looks the way to go with improvement very much on the cards here. Bill’s Baar appeals as the one to give Peter Chapple-Hyam’s son of Profitable most to do now back at 6f, ahead of Want Want.

RACE DESCRIPTION

SIX FURLONGS

This is a six furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards 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.

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a six furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 61 to 80

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.

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile handicap race for fillies and mares who are three-years-old and upwards which have been rated from 61 to 80. 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.

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

PLAY SMARTER

PACO’S PRIDE can race off a 1lb lower mark than when a good recent Salisbury third so is fancied to gain a deserved first success at the chief expense of Lukla who also bids for a breakthrough success. Wolverhampton third All Dunn can have a say too in a tight-knit handicap.
