1. FORM

EXPERT VIEW

A quick way to see a horse’s past performance. These are its recent finishing positions.

How the experts rate the horse’s chances:

Look out for Letters: C D CD BF

= Has won at this course = Has won over this distance = Has won over this distance at this course = Was a beaten favourite

MORE INFORMATION ON THE FORM / P F U R CO B S r

= New racing season = Missed racing season = Was pulled-up and didn’t finish the race = Horse fell = Rider unseated = Horse refused to race = The horse was forced out of a race by a loose horse = Horse was brought down = Horse slipped = The horse ran around a jump or took the wrong course in a flat race = Disqualified

d Bold form figures = performance in all-weather (Flat) or Point-to-Point (Jump) races

2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse.

3. Timeform view and TFR rating 4. HORSE’S TRAINER & THEIR LOCATION

Look out for the summary of leading course trainers before each race.

5. JOCKEYS Listen out for any jockeys who are having a successful day.

OTHER USEFUL DETAILS 6. Owner’s colours worn by the Jockey 7. Saddlecloth number 8. Horse’s name 9. Days since the horse last run 10. Horse’s age 11. Jockey’s weight (stone and Ibs) 12. The horse’s breeding – father (sire) and mother (dam) 13. Horse’s owner 14. Horse’s breeder 15. Birthplace of horse (outside GB)

BETTING EXPLAINED Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number.

Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.

Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.

Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online. Each option offers a different experience.

‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.

‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.

Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.

A Big Thank You For Your Support

www.mollyolly.co.uk 15

In Memory of Jonathan Neesom 1952 - 2024 You were as likely to find Jonathan standing in a field near Guilsborough, training his binoculars on those galloping past the hovel, as broadcasting his definitive take on the Grand National to Racing TV subscribers just 24 hours earlier.

He loved Jump racing, from the Cheltenham Gold Cup through the most arcane of handicap hurdles to the paddock judgement required to spot the live one among a field of newcomers at Kingston Blount. Sharp of eye and tongue, good luck to you with a non-jigger if he was writing the close-up comments.

No surprise he loved cryptic crosswords, too; always part of the post-racing ritual once all other puzzles were run. Even the most unsatisfactory clue had to be fathomed, part of the fun being to analyse its worth immediately afterwards.

We miss him. We will always remember him on his favourite evening of the year.
