HOW TO BET WITH A BOOKMAKER

1. Pick your Racehorse, look around for the best odds on course, try to proffer the correct stake money for your wager

4. Check with the bookmaker when placing a bet, the Place Terms. Place Betting, not all on course bookmakers accept each way bets, ie. for a win or a place.

“Racing’s top priority is the safety and welfare of horse and rider”. Like most sports racing carries risks, however, we work to make sure that no death or injury occurs, which could have been prevented.

Here at Stratford Racecourse we are committed to minimising risks, dealing quickly and humanely with injuries, and maintaining the highest possible quality of life for the animals in our care. At every meeting we have two specially qualified Equine Vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action. There is also a British Horseracing Authority Vet in attendance.

During the race two vets follow the action from the centre of the course and can attend to a horse in the same response time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating the injured jockeys.

RACE SUMMARY:

VAUCELET was a stylish winner of this contest a year ago and teed himself up well for a repeat success when runner-up at Downpatrick a fortnight ago. C&D scorer Law of Gold is a really likeable sort so should ensure David Christie’s very useful Irish challenger doesn’t have things all his own way Secret Investor isn’t the force of old but Paul Nicholls’ veteran can still edge out Cheltenam de Vaige for minor honours.

CARYTO DES BROSSES has finished out of the first 2 only once in his 7 starts under Rules and might prove the answer to this handicap. Cat Tiger struggled in 2 outings last season but they were in stronger races than this and he’s a potential class act under top weight so he’s second choice ahead of Sixteen Letters.

RACE SUMMARY:

OLD GOLD is with a shrewd handler and ran out a ready winner on his only outing in a point bumper, so he’s worth siding with as he bids to defend his unbeaten record on Rules debut. Musique de Fee looks the main danger and Supreme Johnson is unlikely to be too far away
