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.

Race Description

This is a two miles and two furlongs handicap hurdle race for four-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 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170. Br Breeding

It’s worth giving another chance to UNCLE ARTHUR, who wasn’t entirely disgraced at Chepstow last time and he will have every chance in this company if on-song. Sassiﬁed’s claims will be enhanced should the rain stay away and he is next on the list ahead of Merry Monty. Stiletto PLAY SMARTER thoroughly deserves to get his head in front and can be expected to do just that before long, but this signiﬁcant drop back in trip may not be ideal.

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 one hurdle races. Br Breeding

Horse Welfare

The Great British Bonus (GBB) offers multiple bonuses of up to £20,000 per eligible race for British-bred ﬁllies and mares.

There is a Special Viewing Area adjacent to the Course and Paddock.

The Horserace Betting Levy Board prize fund schemes provide for the estimated inclusion of £131,665 in ratecard and incremental prize money at this racecourse from September to December 2023.

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

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 two furlongs novices’ steeple chase is for horses aged four-years-old and upwards. Br Breeding

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 three furlongs race will still be inexperienced over hurdles and almost certainly improve for the racecourse experience that they gain today.

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 100. 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 100 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 95. Br Breeding

MEECHLANDS MAGIC showed improved form on his second start over fences when getting off the mark at Worcester in October, but didn’t get a chance to build on that effort when unseating PLAY SMARTER early next time. He is taken to resume winning ways, though Getthepot took a step back in the right direction last time and is feared most, with Time To Bite and My Bad Lucy also considered.

Seventh Race 4.05 The Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association Mares’ Handicap Hurdle Race (Class 4)

for three yrs old and upwards ﬁllies and mares x Total prize fund £10350 Owners Prize Money. 1st £4180, 2nd £2090, 3rd £1045, 4th £523, 5th £261. (Penalty Value £5465.83)

Race Description

This is a two miles and three furlongs handicap hurdle race for three-year-olds and upwards ﬁllies and mares only which have been rated from 0 to 110. 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.
