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:
The two that appeal most are JUAN BERMUDEZ and last week’s decisive Fontwell winner Market House. The latter has done precious little wrong since joining the James Owen yard and will rightly be popular under a penalty, but Juan Bermudez is an appealing alternative at the forecast prices. He scored twice over C&D this time last year and returned to form off this reduced mark when third back here 17 days ago. Outback Frontiers, also a C&D winner last summer, will be a threat if bouncing back.

RACE SUMMARY:
Those with experience don’t set the bar all that high, so SUN DANCER GIRL, a likeable and fairly useful performer on the Flat, is taken to make a winning start over hurdles for her new connections. The penalised Sergeant Fury is feared most.

“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.

RACE SUMMARY:
ALSHADHIAN did the job in the manner of one well ahead of the handicapper at Southwell last week and, open to improvement in this sphere, he will take plenty of stopping under a penalty Though he failed to justify strong support on his chase debut at Ffos Las, La Quarite showed a definite aptitude for this game and he is also capable of better, while Blackijo Dagrostis surely won’t be far away if able to build on his first run over fences here 17 days ago.

5-4 Sir Galahad (IRE), 2-1 Impero (IRE), 9-2 Carrigeen Kampala (IRE), 16-1 Everyonesgame (IRE), 40-1 In This World (FR) RACE SUMMARY:
If CARRIGEEN KAMPALA is ready to roll following a seven-month break, she may well enhance her already impressive strike-rate over hurdles. Indeed, she didn’t fare at all badly in Listed company on her latest appearance and returns to handicap company on a workable mark (1lb lower than when runner-up at Plumpton in September). Impero was pretty impressive at Kelso and is feared most ahead of the 4-y-o Sir Galahad, who is 3-3 over hurdles and brings potential to this handicap debut.
