HOW TO PLACE A BET
Place Your Bets
Betting is quite straightforward and can be fun - for as little as £2. There is no fool proof way of picking a winner; the odds and the racecard can give you a good guide but you can also have as much luck picking your horse by the name or colour of the silks.
Bet In Two Ways -
1. Betting with the tote - a quick, easy and friendly service. You’ll find tote betting points all around the racecourse and it will give you a better choice of bets with the lower minimum stake of £2. Look at the counters for the tote how to bet guides.

POSITION OF STALLS
for four yrs old and upwards ¨ Total prize fund £7000 Owners Prize Money. 1st £2890, 2nd £1446, 3rd £722, 4th £361, 5th £181. (Penalty Value £3663.80) Weights lowered 1lb.
Race Description This is a one mile and four furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 53 to 72. 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 a lower rated rival As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.

Race Description This contest is another Novice Stakes, this time run over a distance of seven furlongs There are a variety of reasons why the three-year-olds in this race are still light on experience Stoutly bred horses are unlikely to be seen at their best over the shorter distances of their juvenile season whilst a setback or injury can curtail even the most precociously bred horse’s two-year-old career

Race Description This is a seven furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 61 to 80. 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 6lb

Race Description This is a six furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 61 to 80. Like most handicaps on the flat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is considered a disadvantage

THE DAVID LEVER MEMORIAL RACE
I am dedicating this race to the memory of my beloved late husband.
We were together for over thirty years and his love of horse racing began before we met, as did his love of North Yorkshire, and as my family originates from Northallerton, it was a match made in heaven
David was stationed at Catterick Garrison in the early sixties, The Duke of Wellington’s Regiment, so tonight’s meeting is very special and our memorial race chosen to be here on this date for that reason.
A further reason that Thirsk Racecourse is dear to my heart is that between 1997 and 1999 we were very privileged to have the use of Burtree Racing Stables and together with our talented trainer Mark Peill, enjoyed modest success with David’s racehorses.
The first of David’s winners was ‘Marbleman’ named after the marble importing and fireplace manufacturing business we ran together
Marbleman won several races at Kelso, Carlisle, Sedgefield and Mussleburgh. Another of David’s horses ‘He’s Got Wings’ won at Southwell and Nottingham but the horse that meant the most to Davis was ‘David’s Way’ who won only once at Worcester coming from behind to achieve a magnificent victory.
Our days at Burtree were some of the happiest days of our lives.
Although David cannot be here tonight in person, we know his spirit will be standing beside me enjoying once again the thrill of watching beautiful thoroughbreds competing on one of the prettiest racecourses in the country.
for four yrs old and upwards ¨ Total prize fund £6000 Owners Prize Money. 1st £2477, 2nd £1239, 3rd £619, 4th £310, 5th £155. (Penalty Value £3140.40)
Race Description This is a five furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 65. Like all handicaps on today’s card this means that should a horse rated 75 take part they would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 70.

Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 4, 5. Running for the first time since Wind Surgery No. 7.
Stewards Note:
J R CAVAGIN: Following its run on 28/6/2024 it was reported that the horse was restless in the stalls.
Probable S.P’s: 15-8 Yazaman (IRE), 5-1 J R Cavagin (IRE), 13-2 Mereside Angel (IRE), 7-1 Havagomecca (GB), 8-1 Saaheq (GB), 9-1 Equity’s Darling (GB), 22-1 Mr Stanley (IRE), 33-1 Grandad Bob (IRE)
YAZAMAN has been revitalised by the refitting of blinkers, completing the hat-trick with a bit to spare at Wetherby (5.5f) early last month. He looks a serious player once more and can get the 4-timer up. Mereside Angel is another to bear in mind from his reduced mark. The selection’s stablemate J R Cavagin can also bounce back returned to the minimum trip.
