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.

Race Description

1

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 three furlongs novices’ hurdle race is for horses aged four-years-old and upwards which have not won more than one hurdle race.

PLAY SMARTER

JPR ONE has made an excellent start in this sphere and is confidently expected to make it 2-3 now he steps up in trip after his excellent Cheltenham second last month. Grangeclare Glory will benefit from this return to a shorter trip and is next on the list ahead of Nicky Henderson’s hurdling newcomer Hyland, who is worth a market check.

Horse Welfare

Official Photographers are wearing armbands. Members of the Public are not permitted to go onto the course to take photographs nor to take photographs inside the Parade Rings or Winners Enclosure. Flash may NOT be used at any time.

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

The term ‘maiden’ inspires thoughts of damsels in distress but in horse racing terms it takes on a different meaning. When a horse is referred to as a maiden, be it a colt or a filly, it simply means that they have yet to win a race. Many of the runners aged four-years-old and upwards in this two miles and half a furlong race will still be inexperienced over hurdles and almost certainly improve for the racecourse experience that they gain today.

PLAY SMARTER

KNICKERBOCKERGLORY will need to relax if he’s to fulfil his potential over hurdles but he was caught too far back in a Haydock listed race last time and is worth another chance back down in grade. Nicky Henderson’s Quickbuck offered enough in bumpers to suggest he has a future over hurdles so he’s feared most ahead of Moveit Like Minnie, who can build on his opening hurdle run.

Race Description

This is the second division of Race 2. Some races can often prove very popular with owners and trainers and as a result more horses are declared to run than the official safety limit allows for. To avoid horses being denied a run, which is obviously disappointing for connections, the British Horseracing Authority allows the race to be split into two divisions, with each contest carrying identical race conditions.

PLAY SMARTER

SAN GIOVANNI, Natty Night and Mister Splash were third, fourth and fifth in the same big-field Wincanton maiden hurdle last month, with the first-named taken to confirm his superiority over that pair and strike at the second time of asking over hurdles. Southwell-fourth Yvette Guilbert is respected for the Skeltons, while Titian is likely better he than showed on his completed start over hurdles.

2m 12y (Penalty Value £7951.16) Weights raised 1lb and paragraph 34 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.

Race Description

This is a two miles handicap steeple chase for five-year-olds and upwards. The majority of handicaps are designed for horses from with a specific ratings band but this particular race has no rating restrictions attached to it, because it is for novices, which allows horses with a higher rating to take part. Even so, the higher rated horses must still concede weight to their lower rated rivals, which tends to make limited handicaps very competitive races.

Race Description

This is a two miles and three furlongs handicap hurdle race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 140. 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 140 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 135.

Race Description

This is a two miles and seven furlongs handicap steeple chase for five-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 105. 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.

Race Description

This two miles and half a furlong handicap hurdle race has been designed for four-year-olds and upwards fillies and mares which are rated from 0 to 100. 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.

TIMEFORMVIEW Maiden who went closer than ever to bucking that trend when second at Wincanton (15.3f) in March. Ran well in face of stiff task on return at Exeter and she can be expected to be in the mix once more.

TIMEFORM VIEW Won back-to-back novice event at Southwell in August 2020. Largely struggled in handicaps but her latest fifth at Uttoxeter (20f) was a definite step back in right direction. Needs to build on that.

TIMEFORM VIEW Poor form in bumpers and well beaten over hurdles, well held on the back of a 17-month absence at Exeter (18.5f) in December. Needs to step up plenty on that to figure.

TFRHHIII BHA78 DECLARED RUNNERS 17 Blinkers worn first time by No. 10. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn first time by No. 8. Hood worn by No. 1, 16. Blinkers worn by No. 3, 6.

PLAY SMARTER

Unsurprisingly claims can be made for a whole host in a tricky finale and it may well be worth chancing GAOT. Below her best at Exeter in December, she previously highlighted she’s on a workable mark when runner-up in a big-field event at that venue and bounce back is distinctly possible back at this shorter trip. No No Tonic, Sawpit Sienna, Minnie Escape and Amelia’s Dance head up the dangers.
