WELCOME TO SALISBURY RACECOURSE

Welcome to Salisbury for our second race meeting of the season – Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai “City Bowl” Race Day.

We are very grateful to Malih Al Basti for sponsoring four of the races at Salibury this afternoon. The first of which is the opening race in the five race apprentice series, and the second being the feature, Salisbury’s oldest race, being shown live on ITV Racing. Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai has a busy day, as they also sponsor at today’s principal race meeting up at York. Thank you also to our other race sponsors, all of which contribute to the prize money of their races.

The next race meeting at Salisbury is the first of our music nights on Saturday 25th May. The racing will be followed by local DJ, Disco Dion, playing lots of favourite hits, from the balcony over-looking the winning line.

Thank you for joining us at Salisbury Racecourse today and we very much hope to welcome you again very soon.

Best wishes,

The Directors & Staff of Salisbury Racecourse

A guide to the horse’s recent form

RATING EXPLAINED

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: Selected to win the race

Good chance of being placed.

By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims

Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

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.

TODAY’S TIPS

RACE ONE

A highly encouraging third on his return here over 7f recently, BEAU JARDINE encounters similar conditions to when he was successful over C&D last summer and he obviously goes well for Shariq Mohd. Not beaten far on her last two starts over shorter, Willingly is a key player for in-form connections, along with San Francisco Bay, who was a progressive sort last season and returned with a creditable effort for fourth at Lingfield.

WIN: BEAU JARDINE

RACE TWO

DANGER:WILLINGLY

CIRCUIT BREAKER caught the eye on his first start for new connections when rallying late in the day for third in a higher-grade race at Kempton. The son of Nathaniel has won on soft ground before and is preferred to the improving Rathgar, who has only been raised 2lb for a determined success at Goodwood. A winner twice over hurdles towards the end of 2023, including in Listed company, Pawapuri must be noted on her return to the level.

WIN: CIRCUIT BREAKER

RACE

THREE

DANGER: RATHGAR

Related to some classy sprinters and a half-sister to the stable’s 2000 Guineas winner Chaldean, valuable newcomer KASSAYA is bred for the job and she can strike in this intriguing novice stakes A half-brother to speedster Tis Marvellous, Mythical Composer should know his job first time out, while Pont Neuf looks the pick of those with experience after a taking debut success at Kempton. Amerjeet has let down favourite-backers twice, but cannot be ruled out

WIN: KASSAYA

RACE FOUR

DANGER: MYTHICAL COMPOSER

MONKEY MISS was an impressive winner at Bath 10 days ago and a 6lb penalty might not be enough to prevent Daniel and Claire Kubler’s filly from repeating the feat Miss Stormy Night shaped with promise when finishing third at the Somerset venue last month and she is one for the shortlist, with further improvement likely Dame Darcey has been running with a certain degree of credit on the all-weather and she could progress now switched to turf.

WIN: MONKEY MISS DANGER:MISSSTORMYNIGHT

RACE FIVE

Master Builder struck the woodwork on his Windsor debut and must rank highly among the contenders here, but a chance can be taken on BYE BYE SALAM. The son of Frankel, a 450,000gns purchase, looks a likely type on paper and he can continue his yard’s fine run of form. Signalman must be of interest now upped in trip, while Kingkeer, who made an encouraging introduction despite being slowly away at Windsor, can also get involved.

WIN: BYE BYE SALAM

RACE SIX

DANGER: MASTER BUILDER

Ralph Beckett looks to hold a strong hand and his Oxford Comma is taken to go well on the back of a creditable third over 7f at Newmarket on debut Beautifully-bred 500,000gns purchase Faifa is respected most of the newcomers, but the verdict is for CATCH THE LIGHT She hasn't been seen since making her debut at Ascot last September, but is entitled to have improved plenty from two to three years and she represents an in-form yard

WIN: CATCH THE LIGHT

RACE SEVEN

DANGER: FAIFA

CRACKER STAR fared best of those ridden patiently when runner-up over 1m2f at Lingfield on his penultimate start, prior to pulling clear with the winner when runner-up over this trip at Kempton, and sporting cheekpieces for the first time, he can earn a breakthrough victory. East India Dock finished an encouraging second over 1m2f at Yarmouth and warrants respect upped just 2lb for that performance. War Director merits consideration on his handicap bow.

WIN: CRACKER STAR

Stewards Note:

PAWAPURI: Following its run on 21/1/2024 it was reported that the horse would prefer a quicker surface

HURTLE WALLOP: Following its run on 29/4/2024 it was reported that the horse hung badly right-handed.

Betting Forecast: 9-2 Pawapuri (GB), 11-2 Circuit Breaker (GB), 15-2 Rathgar (GB), 9-1 Torcello (IRE), Duke of Verona (IRE), 10-1 The Goat (GB), Kyle of Lochalsh (GB), 14-1 Ocean Heights (GB), 22-1 Ellerton (FR), 25-1 Military Tycoon (IRE), 33-1 Alright Sunshine (IRE), 40-1 Hurtle Wallop (GB) Race Summary: A good-quality staying handicap with the vote going to PAWAPURI, who was on the up when last racing on the level for William Haggas and she’s since won twice over hurdles for another excellent stable. Duke of Verona and Kyle of Lochalsh showed enough on their respective reappearance to warrant serious consideration.

GREAT BRITISH BONUS SCHEME

Ronald Hibberd 1927-2023

Born in Poole, Ron was the fourth of ten children, outliving all his siblings and attaining the grand age of 96. Ron was apprenticed to Poole Power Boats at age 15 before enlisting in National Service and serving with REME. He was posted to Germany but was rather disappointed that this was after the war had just ended. He ended his working career after 30 years with AB Precision of Poole.

He was married to Jean for 71 years and had one daughter and two grandchildren.

Ron was a lifelong Portsmouth Football Club supporter, his family originating from there.

Horse racing was his passion. In his last year when unable to attend the races, he watched every televised race. The bookmakers will be the poorer for his passing.

Monkey Miss scored at the same track last time, so she’s the main danger under a penalty, although Irish-raider Layoftheland warrants close attention in the betting.

Race Summary: MASTER BUILDER made a promising start to his career when finding only one with the benefit of experience too strong at Windsor 17 days ago, so he is taken to open his account with improvement to come. He can get the better of Bye Bye Salam, who appeals on paper and makes his debut with his yard going well, while Signalman is also one to consider.

Mental Health Awareness Week

13 - 19 May 2024

MOVEMENT

Racing staff and racecourse staff are wearing green ribbons today to show their commitment to raising awareness and ending the stigma surrounding mental health issues.

The theme for Mental Health Awareness Week this year is Movement: Moving more for our mental health. Movement is important for our mental health. But so many of us struggle to move enough. Going for a walk in your neighbourhood or around your workplace, putting on your favourite music and dancing around the living room, chair exercises when you’re watching television – it all counts!

Racing Welfare is committed to providing accessible, tailored mental health and wellbeing support services to all of racing’s workforce.
