Star Ratings Explained

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:

HHHHH Selected to win the race.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims.

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope

HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

Official BHA Rating

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.

Form Guide

The figures in red display the horse’s previous form, with the number denoting finishing position. The number on the right shows the runners most recent result, with abbreviations used also. A layoff from racing is shown with either - or / CD - Course and distance winner; BF - Beaten favourite; F - Fell; B - Brought down; P - Pulled up; R - Refused; S - Slipped up; U - Unseated rider; R - Ran out.

THE BUZZ

by Wetherbee

RACE ONE

TANTALUS was four lengths clear of the third when runner-up at Catterick over 6f last time and, off the same mark with the addition of first-time cheekpieces, he looks to be the one to side with. Lola’s Moment is considered on her return to action off the lowest mark yet in her young career to date, while Arnie Angell makes his first start for the David Griffiths stable and is also of interest.

WIN: TANTALUS

RACE TWO

DANGER: Lola’s Moment

NATIONAL CHARTER hasn’t been seen on the Flat since April last year, when she was a very respectable third at this track over 1m6f, and if she could bring that level of form to the table, the four-year-old could go very well. Glory And Honour is capable of getting involved off his current mark as he returns to the turf, while Absolute Ruler is another to consider

WIN: NATIONAL CHARTER

RACE THREE

DANGER: Glory And Honour

HUG A TREE finished third at Salisbury on debut and she should have learned a lot from that first race experience. The daughter of Mehmas could be the one to beat if finding some improvement. The main danger might be Hot Front, who is related to plenty of winners and has enough speed in her pedigree to suggest she can be competitive on debut. Any market support for Rocket Money would be interesting.

WIN: HUG A TREE

RACE FOUR

DANGER: Hot Front

SAIL ON SILVERBIRD chased home a couple of promising types when hitting the frame at Wolverhampton two weeks ago She makes her handicap debut from a potentially lenient mark and, with the switch to turf unlikely to pose an issue, the daughter of Twirling Candy can open her account. Harriet’s Angel split rivals in a three-runner contest at Ripon last month and must be of interest upped to 7f for the first time, while Sophia’s Starlight appeals most of the remainder

WIN: SAIL ON SILVERBIRD

RACE FIVE

DANGER: Harriet’s Angel

William Haggas has a good strike-rate at this venue and so it might be worth siding with OPERA LEGEND

The Night Of Thunder gelding raced exclusively over 7f across his three qualifying runs but, with a step up in trip likely to benefit, he can make a successful handicap bow. The hat-trick seeking Blue Yonder is feared most, while Captain Potter is also considered.

WIN: OPERA LEGEND

RACE SIX

DANGER: Blue Yonder

RED ASTAIRE seemed to appreciate a drop in trip when filling the runner-up spot over this distance at Redcar last month. Tim Easterby’s four-year-old retains the mark from that outing and looks open to further progression here, although the reopposing Muddy Lynn (third) can give the selection plenty to think about. Ricksen returns to turf and completes the shortlist, along with Going Underground and Variety Island.

WIN: RED ASTAIRE

RACE SEVEN

DANGER: Muddy Lynn

Thank The Lord finished a decent third over this trip at Bath last month and must enter calculations off the same mark, but JENEVER looks the one to beat following a fair second over 6f at Thirsk most recently Ben Sanderson knocks 3lb off the gelding’s back, which makes him of significant interest down in trip, while Golden Prosperity and Yaahobby are others worthy of consideration.

WIN: JENEVER

DANGER: Thank The Lord

The first of our eight-race card was the five and a half furlongs Maiden Stakes, which saw Kevin Ryan’s Room Service score a shock win. The two-year-old set off at 20/1 and produced a stellar performance, leading clearly from inside the final furlong to win by a length and a quarter ahead of the favourite Shayekh. The latter just unable to affect proceedings as much as trainer Alice Haynes would have liked.

The Jim Goldie trained American Affair took the second. The three-year-old was prominent throughout under a strong ride from Paul Mulrennan. Glory Sky took second for Richard Hannon, finding no extra to challenge in the run in, while the favourite Purnika rounded out the podium positions.

Platinum Girl took the third, jockey Sean Kirrane keeping his mount prominent throughout. Tim Easterby’s filly doing well to hold off a late challenge from Craig Lidster’s H Key Lails in second. Despite being outpaced late on, the 22/1 Ubettabequick did very well to secure a place, just doing enough to deny fellow outsider The Muffin Man. It was swiftly turning into a day to forget for the favourites, Powerful Response making no impression and only managing ninth. It wasn’t until the fourth contest that a favourite managed to get on the board as Al Baahy was a comfortable winner of the

6.30. Kevin Frost’s gelding led throughout the contest and his lead was never in doubt. Emily Post finished as the runner-up.

The fifth produced a real edge of your seat finish as Arch Moon just found enough to take the lead from Auld Toon Loon in the final strides of the 1m 2f contest. David O’Meara’s runner-up was prominent throughout but hung right-handed and that gave just enough for Arch Moon to steal the win at the end.

The sixth saw a surprising improvement in form for Ballyare, who struggled mightily in his previous few starts, but came up trumps here. He left himself with a lot to do after a slow start but he dug deep and managed to take the win by just a nose at the post.

The penultimate contest saw Bay Dream Believer take the win. Andrew Mullen kept his mount towards the rear, waiting for an opportunity to strike. He switched left inside the final three furlongs before taking the lead inside the final furlong. He kept on well to deny the 28/1 Red Command who looked very strong in second.

Another favourite got on the board in the finale as Premiership justified his strong market support to take the win. He raced in second for much of the contest before taking the lead two furlongs from the finish. The result was never in doubt from here. Kodebreaker did just enough to take second.

RACE DESCRIPTION This is a five and a half furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds which have been rated from 46 to 60 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.

PLAY SMARTER

Not a strong race, so TANTALUS, who was runner-up from the same mark at Catterick, looks to have been found a great chance to get off the mark. Al Najada and Rwenearlytheredad are not yet exposed and are a couple of potential threats.

This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap In simple terms a horse rated 65 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 60

HORSE WELFARE

Here at Wetherby Racecourse we are committed to minimising risks, dealing quickly and humanely with injuries, and maintaining the highest possible quality of life for the animals in our care. At every meeting we have three specially qualified Equine Vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action. There is also a British Horseracing Authority Veterinary Officer in attendance.

During the race three vets follow the action from the centre of the course and can attend to a horse in the same response time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating the injured jockeys.

It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected round the horse. It is designed to afford the vet and the patient some privacy. Please do not assume the worst.

The British EBF will allocate £2 million to prize money in 2023, thanks to the contributions of our British Stallion studs:

RACE DESCRIPTION This race is a five and a half furlongs maiden stakes for two-year-olds. Maiden races provide a starting point for young horses that are yet to record a victory and most will be very lightly-raced or be making their racecourse debuts. Previous experience can count for a lot when searching for the winner but well-bred or precocious juveniles are more than capable of landing the prize at the first time of asking.

Wemyss Point

as Wetherby Racecourse's first official equine ambassador.

Wemyss Point was a talented racehorse, giving his owners, The Green Oaks Partnership, many fantastic days out with 5 wins, 6 seconds, 4 thirds and 2 fourths during his career. 3 of these wins came at his beloved Wetherby over hurdles in 2017-18!

RACING CAREER

SECOND CAREER

Wemyss now lives with Beth Hutchinson, who has known him since he was three years old as she was part of the racing syndicate that owned him. When it was decided to retire Wemyss from racing in 2022, he was sent home to Beth and her husband James, who live in a village close to Barnard Castle with a menagerie of horses, sheep and pup the dog! Wemyss spent last summer having a well earned rest and Beth is now spending the time re-educating him to enable him to go on and have a successful second career.

Beth will be providing us with regular updates on Wemyss, scan the QR Code to be directed to their first BLOG on our website.

Longest Travellers: HARRIET’S ANGEL trained by E Dunlop & SAIL ON SILVERBIRD trained by M Bell, both Newmarket, 164 miles.

RACE DESCRIPTION This is a seven furlongs handicap race for fillies and mares aged three-years-old and upwards which have been rated from 49 to 68. 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 one mile and two furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds which have been rated from 51 to 70 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.

RACE DESCRIPTION This is a five and a half furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 60 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.
