HORSE WELFARE
“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. It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected round the horse It is designed to afford the vet and the patient some privacy. Please do not assume the worst.
EMERGENCY EVACUATION
In the event of an emergency all persons on the racecourse will be alerted by the following message over the public address system. This is an emergency announcement. Due to circumstances beyond our control, racing has been temporarily suspended Would all patrons please evacuate ALL buildings and make your way across the racetrack to the Red post marker in the Centre of the Course. Police and Racecourse Officials will assist and direct you. Please do not go to any Car Park until you are cleared to do so, because you may hamper the movement of emergency vehicles The message will then be repeated.
BROKEN GLASSES AND BOTTLES
Broken glasses and bottles are dangerous. In the interests of safety and the comfort of others please do not carry drinks on to the steppings of the stand, or the areas adjacent to the parade ring or unsaddling enclosure.
FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

RACE SUMMARY:
Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and JO’S RAINBOW, a fair winner on the Flat, is fancied to take a step forward now stepping into handicaps and gain a first success in this sphere. Mary took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Worcester and could emerge as the main danger off a falling mark, although the lightly-raced Harry Gulliver is another who needs considering along with the returning Call Blue.

Brian and Sheila Vaughan were both passionate about National Hunt Racing. Back in the early 1980’s when their company Walls and Ceilings International was in its infancy, Sheila retired from her teaching position to support Brian in his new venture. She also took a part time job with the Tote, quickly progressing through the ranks to Supervisor she travelled the country to work at various Racecourses. During this time, she undoubtedly dreamed that one day she may be able to own a racehorse. This dream eventually became a reality, and they had their first racehorse with Ian Williams Over the years they had horses with several local trainers and were lucky in having many winners.
They also liked to support the local tracks having a box here at Stratford for many years in which they entertained both customers and friends and passed on the thrill and excitement of horse racing to many
After Sheila passed away in 2018, Brian still enjoyed following his horses and came to the races regularly. He decided to sponsor a race in memory of Sheila. On his passing this has now become the Brian and Sheila Vaughan Memorial Handicap Chase.
