Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and a warm welcome to Yorkshire’s Garden Racecourse!

It’s a very quick turnaround for us after racing yesterday and we’re looking forward to another afternoon of great racing.

Our third race this afternoon is the 21 Engineer Regiment Sapper Nursery. Today is our local regiment’s annual visit to us, a tradition which has been in place for well over 30 years now. We hope they have a most enjoyable afternoon with us once more.

Before racing this afternoon we are joined by Ripon record holder Piper’s Note. Piper loved Yorkshire’s Garden racecourse, winning here eight times across his stellar career and it is always great to see him looking so well. Please do go along to the Parade Ring and Winners Enclosure to meet him from around 1pm.

We are joined on the bandstand today by the excellent Claire Coupland, back by popular demand. We now have just one ﬁxture remaining in our 2024 season, the Theakston Beer Festival on Saturday 28th September. Our dates for 2025 are printed on the back of the racecard so be sure to get a few dates in the diary and keep an eye on our website and social media over the next few months for announcements.

Wishing you a great afternoon.

TODAY’S TIPS

RACE

1

MR JETMAN boasts the most convincing profile based on recent form figurers and, with the promise of more to come on just his second start over this trip, there are solid foundations for the gelding to build on after a near miss over C&D 10 days ago. Poet’s Dawn also has some respectable C&D efforts to his name and is noted, while Bearwith is weighted to go well if staging a revival.

WIN: MR JETMAN DANGER: POET’S DAWN

RACE

2

RESERVARDO, whose 6,000 euros price tag as a yearling shot up to 270,000 euros as a two-year-old breeze-up buy, impressed when just touched oﬀ in a maiden at Windsor 24 days ago. Runner-up on both previous starts, Zayer is the most obvious threat to the selection, although Kullazain and Another Abbot are interesting newcomers to bear in mind if either attract market support.

RACE 3

TEES AGGREGATES was successful on his nursery debut at Leicester 27 days ago and is competitively weighted in his bid to follow up oﬀ just 4lb higher. Fellow previous winnerJohn’s Dragon can also continue to pay her way in handicaps and is suggested as the chief threat to the selection with ﬁrst-time cheekpieces a potential source of improvement. Nursery debutants Foro Romano and Brandywine Falls also enter calculations.

WIN: TEES AGGREGATES

RACE

4

JOHN’S DRAGON

TWELFTH KNIGHT won here oﬀ a 6lb higher mark last term and hinted at a return to form when third over C&D last time Paul Midgley’s sprinter can edge this ahead of Another Baar, who scored at Doncaster before ﬁnishing second in a competitive handicap here. The veteran Muscika went agonisingly close at Epsom on his latest start and merits consideration, while Origintrail and Act Of Violence are others worthy of second glance.

RACE 5

CODE PURPLE arrives in the best form having won two of his last three outings. He remains on a winning mark despite a 2lb rise for winning at Musselburgh on his latest start and looks worth sticking with. Makalu may well have ﬁnished closer than fourth here last time with clear run and rates a threat, while Lokana remains relatively unexposed and could go well oﬀ her current mark.

RACE 6

Lastyear’swinnerSpantikwas eased down at Beverleyon his belated seasonal debut behind the runner-up Bamboo Bay.The latteris one to consider, alongwith Catterick winner Myboymax, but the vote goes to TAILORMAN. Ian Williams’ four-year-old came up against the progressive Godsend when second at Pontefract latest and can go one better returning to this lower grade. The lightly-raced Greenlightforgo steps up in distance and there might be more to come from him.

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.

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.

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile, one furlong and 170 yards apprentice handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 56 to 75 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 race is a ﬁve 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.

The Crisfords’ RESERVARDO was unable to land the odds on his recent Windsor debut but still shaped well when runner-up and can take a sizeable step forward to go one better at the chief expense of Archie Watson’s Zayer, who might have to settle for runner-up spot once more. Newcomer Another Abbot can’t be ruled out either, especially if the market vibes are positive for William Haggas’ Harry Angel colt.

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a six furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 59 to 78 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 78 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 73.

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 51 to 70 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.

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a two mile handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 60. 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 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.
