Star Ratings 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 Ratings Explained 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. For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

The details of Owner, Trainer, Breeder, Sponsor & Colours are highlighted on the card. If you are unsure about reading the card, remember to ask at a tote window for advice.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet.

If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

Race Description

Selling races exist as an outlet for connections to sell their horses. Any horse that wins a ‘seller’ such as this two miles and half a furlong hurdle race for four to eight year-olds is automatically put up for public auction in the Winners’ Enclosure at the end of the race and goes to the highest bidder. The auction is often well worth seeing, so make sure to head that way after the race.

PLAY SMARTER

PELORIC strikes as the most likely winner dropping in grade. He posted a good third at Newton Abbot on his final outing last season and can have his Exeter reappearance effort easily overlooked having reportedly suffered a breathing issue. Hereia left Neil Mulholland cheaply in November, but his previous form entitles him to respect at this level.

Race Description

Novice races tend to be for younger horses that are still learning their way over hurdles or fences and allow them to race against each other before graduating up the ranks. Horses are classed as a novice if they have yet to win a race, under the respective code, prior to the official start of the season, towards the end of April although for wins between 1st March and the end of the season they may continue to contest novice races until the end of the following October. This particular two miles and half a furlong novices’ hurdle race is for horses aged four-years-old and upwards which have not won more than two hurdle races.

PLAY SMARTER

This looks to revolve around PASO DOBLE, who got firmly back on track when finishing runner-up on handicap debut at Kempton last time. He looks very much the type to benefit from first-time headgear, so is fancied to go in again for a yard that has won a division of this race for the last 3 years. Hurdling debutants Jeremy The Jinn and Sword Beach could provide the main dangers.

Race Description

This is a two miles and half a furlong handicap hurdle race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 100. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 0 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 100.

Race Description

This is a two miles and seven furlongs handicap steeple chase for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 135. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have won a race, been placed twice or raced at least three times in order for the handicapper to gauge the level of form shown. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 135 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 130.

Race Description

This is a two miles and three furlongs handicap hurdle race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 130. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed.

A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 7lb.

Horse Welfare

The Horserace Betting Levy Board General Prize Fund scheme provides for the inclusion of £322,700 at this Racecourse in 2020.

Horse welfare is a priority at Taunton Racecourse. At every meeting there are 3 specially qualified equine veterinary surgeons appointed to look after the welfare of the horses in action. One vet is present at the start of each race and during the race follows the runners in a vehicle. Horses can be attended to in the same time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating injured jockeys.

A second vet follows the action from the stands and coordinates the required response to any incidents. In addition, throughout the meeting a close check is kept on all horses, especially those returning after a race. It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected around the horse. It is designed to afford the vet and horse some privacy.

Please do not assume the worst.

Race Description

This two miles and two furlongs handicap steeple chase has been designed for four-year-olds and upwards which are rated from 0 to 130. In most National Hunt handicaps, there is a minimum weight of 10st so any horse whose official rating would allocate them less than that still has to shoulder that burden.

The horses that fall into this category are said to be racing from ‘out of the handicap’ – usually a distinct disadvantage.

PLAY SMARTER

NICKOLSON bettered his hurdles form at the first attempt when second in a novice chase at Warwick on his return and looks on a good mark switched to a handicap. Nietzsche ran no sort of race in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham but he will find this much less competitive and isn’t one to be writing off yet, while Glajou took a step back in the right direction back over hurdles here on return.

A number with claims in a competitive handicap. COLONEL MANDERSON didn’t kick on for his previous stable, yet supported in the betting, was still in a share of second when unseating 4 out over fences at Fontwell in October and he’s not one to give up on just yet back over hurdles.

He earns the vote, with Kendelu, Carry On The Magic and Flutiste.
