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).

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 form guide is provided to help you pick which horse will carry your money in the race. Read the Timeform comment carefully and try to weigh up the horse’s previous runs against the conditions of the race.

RICHMOND LAKE

LAST TIME OUT | Saturday 18th November Dan Skelton kicked off our previous meeting with an impressive seven length winner. Tristan Durrell was in the saddle to do the steering aboard the well fancied Heltenham. He had plenty of top quality chase form and it was no surprise to see him break his maiden tag over hurdles in impressive fashion, Findthetime raced in second under 5lb claimer Conor Rabbitt in our second race of the day. Inedit Star made most of the running throughout the contest but was picked up two from home. Findthetime stayed on nicely and in the end was always doing enough to land the prize for Nicky Richards.

Harry Bannister kept things simple on favourite Bashers Reflection. The six-year-old was tucked away in midfield for much of the race before making stylish progress in the backstraight. He went second before the third last before picking up the leader at the penultimate hurdle.

A shake of the reigns from Harry quickly put the race to bed and he went onto win comfortably.

Our most emphatic winning margin of the day came in the fourth race, when Grandeur D’Ame fairly routed the field for Alan King and Tom Cannon. The final winning distance was 25 lengths back to

Cornerstone Lad, with only three of the six completing the race.

The pair wasted no time in following up that victory, as they scored once more with Favour And Fortune. The exciting five-year-old was well found in the market after already winning impressively at Hereford on hurdles debut and continued his fine run of form. The 5lb penalty looked to do nothing to halt his progress and he’s an extremely exciting type moving forward for the Alan King team.

The Hemmings Racing colours became a theme in the latter half of the afternoon, with the second of their three-timer coming courtesy of Richmond Lake. The seven-year-old dictated the pace from flag fall to win what looked a competitive looking race on paper. It was an excellent training performance by Donald McCain to get him into the winners’ enclosure carrying 12lb on his back.

Sue Smith and Peter Kavanagh completed the hattrick for Hemmings Racing in the finale. East Street sat in midfield and despite not being overly fluent at some of his fences, managed to stay in the contest.

He looked to have given himself too much to do jumping the last but continued to stay on stoutly to get up in the shadows of the post by a nose.

THE BUZZ

by Wetherbee

RACE ONE JIPCOT was in the process of running a big race when falling at the last on his most recent outing at Ascot and the four-year-old merits plenty of respect off a 1lb lower mark here. Cerendipity was well held on his chasing debut at Sedgefield recently but should not be underestimated, while Missed Tee edges out Chapel Green to be the pick of the remainder.

WIN: JIPCOT

DANGER: CERENDIPITY

RACE TWO I’m Too Tired has made the frame in all three of his previous starts over hurdles and is likely to go well once again. That said, preference is for KOUROSH, who showed ability when trained on the Flat in Germany and it would be no surprise to see him make a winning start for these connections. Star Turn only found one too good at Ludlow a few weeks ago and completes the shortlist.

WIN: KOUROSH

DANGER: I’M TOO TIRED

RACE THREE JET LEGS ended his last campaign with back-to-back victories over hurdles in March and his chasing debut at Carlisle last month suggested that the six-year-old would remain competitive off his current mark.

Snipe was a beaten favourite on his most recent outing but has strong form claims based on his previous success at Southwell, while No But I Will should not be discounted of his chasing bow.

WIN: JET LEGS

DANGER: SNIPE

RACE FOUR Indeevar Bleu was sent off joint-favourite for his hurdling debut at Ayr earlier in the month and finished a well-held fourth, but it is too soon to write the bumper winner off. However, the one to side with may be THE VILLAGE WAY, who is a well-related son of Spanish Moon and goes for the Dan Skelton yard on his Rules debut after finishing second on both point-to-point starts. Any market confidence behind him would add further interest, while Notimeforanother was a solid performer on the Flat and is another to consider.

WIN: THE VILLAGE WAY

DANGER: INDEEVAR BLEU

RACE FIVE Hystery Bere filled the runner-up berth over an extended 2m3f at Stratford last month and he has to be respected off a 1lb lower rating. However, the vote goes to NETYWELL, who was beaten into third at Aintree in this grade last time and was dropped 1lb for that effort. The six-year-old has Stephen Malqueen back on board and can return to winning ways. Tokay Dokey returns from a long absence and is well worth a market check.

WIN: NETYWELL

DANGER: HYSTERY BERE

RACE SIX Giver The Hollie finished a fair fifth at Warwick on her debut under Rules earlier in the month and, with that experience under her belt, she ought to have a say in this contest. However, the one to be with may be MOONLIT POTTER, who is a well-bred daughter of Pether’s Moon and is related to plenty of winners, so it would be no surprise to see her making a winning debut under Daryl Jacob. Any market support behind Seas The Day would also be of interest.

WIN: MOONLIT POTTER

DANGER: GIVER THE HOLLIE

Steven is racing today for all those he knew who didn’t make it and lost their lives to addiction, in particular his best friend Alan Taylor.

Former Jockey Bob Champion is a huge inspiration to Steven, and he has been given permission today from the Embiricos family to ride in the colours of the great Aldaniti who Bob famously partnered to win the 1981 Grand National!

RACE DESCRIPTION This is a one mile and seven furlongs handicap steeple chase for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 120. 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.

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 three-years-old in this two mile race will still be inexperienced over hurdles and almost certainly improve for the racecourse experience that they gain today.

RACE DESCRIPTION This is a three mile handicap steeple chase for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 120. 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 120 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 115.

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 mile novices’ hurdle race is for horses aged four-years-old and upwards which have not won more than two hurdle races.

RACE DESCRIPTION This is a one mile and seven furlongs handicap steeple chase for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 130. 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.

Family & Friends of Peter Beaumont

PETER BEAUMONT 1934 - 2020

Peter was a Yorkshire Farmer -turned-Cheltenham Gold Cup winning trainer, winning Racing’s most prestigious Steeplechase with Jodami in 1993.

Peter developed an early connection with horses through his family and pony club and then later through point to point racing. Alongside his dairy herd, he established hunter liveries and started bringing on young point to point horses, with great success. As more and more horses arrived, in 1986 a trainers license was taken out.

Homebred, JJ Henry was the first to make Peter’s name under NH Rules, and Peter soon became known for sourcing and training a wonderful stamp of staying chaser. The best of these being Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Jodami, a horse who also won three successive Irish Gold Cups. Young Kenny, Huzzard Collonges, Island Chief, Nikki Dee and Bobby Grant were amongst many other success stories that came out of Peter’s Brandsby yard.

Above all Peter was truly a gentlemen of racing, a kind, decent, modest man who was mindful of others, and we are honoured to run this race today in his memory.

Cash Machines are located within the Bramham Hall and Millennium Stand, Level 2.

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

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.

DEAD SLOW Horses are unprecictable. Passing horses wide and slow can prevent deaths of drivers, riders and horses.

If I see a horse on the road I will...

1

Slow down to a maximum of 10mph

2

Be patient; I won’t sound my horn or rev my engine

3

Pass the horse wide and slow (2m, at least a cars width, if possible)

4

Drive slowly away
