HORSE WELFARE
“Racing’s top priority is the safety and welfare of horse and rider”.

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.

This can go the way of TACTICAL AFFAIR who races off the same mark as when a very good second at Worcester (form been franked) last time out. Cawthorne Cracker is feared most on the back of an encouraging chasing debut third at Sedgefield, although Rory’s Story, Royal Max and Culligran all command respect too.

ANNIE NAIL ran out a very easy winner on her second start for this yard when landing a gamble at Fakenham 12 days ago and can defy a 7lb rise. Kate of The Lodge can be expected to improve on her chase bow stepping back up in trip so is feared most ahead of last year’s winner Fancy Stuff
