BEST TURNED OUT
Racing grooms work very hard looking after the horses in their care to ensure they come to the races looking immaculate. As a reward for their efforts, a cash prize is presented to the groom who is judged to have produced the 'Best Turned Out' horse in every race.
PHOTOGRAPHERS
Photographers are active here today taking pictures which may be used for future promotional purposes. In being here on course, you give your consent to being photographed. If this is not the case, please contact us or alert a member of staff. Amateur photography with professional-grade camera equipment is permitted only if the user has signed a daily permit with the racecourse on entry. Please speak to a steward for more information.
Condition & Coat - Racehorses are athletes and the way their coat looks and the way it moves easily over their muscles reflects the horses overall condition. The coat should look smooth, clean and have a glossy shine, but pay attention to Greys and lighter coloured Chestnuts, as they won't carry such a sheen to their coats, which is not for want of trying, they just have the equine equivalent of mousey hair and remember that Greys often require much more work and effort to get clean. Quarter marks are the patterns put onto the coat on the horse's hindquarters or shoulder. They are made using a damp brush, wiped against the natural lie of the coat. Much like brushing velvet the wrong way.
To Plait or not to Plait - to win Best Turned Out a horse does not have to be plaited. Some horses do not like having their heads touched and get over-excited when being plaited as it indicates they could be off to the races. If a horse is not plaited it should not go against them, providing their loose mane is short, tangle-free and even, and lying on the right hand side of the horse's neck. Plaits should be small, neat and uniform with an odd number of plaits along the neck and one at the front.
Tails you win! - Doubtless at some point you will have heard that you should not stand behind a horse! For racing grooms the trust they build with their horses means you may see some in the Parade Ring with a plaited tail. If tails are loose they must be tangle-free, not too long, and there should be no wisps of bedding or hay in the tail.
No foot no Horse - Horse's legs, particularly white markings, known as socks or stockings, must be clean. Sometimes chalk is used to brighten these marks. Feet should be well shod and hooves oiled.
Best Dressed - All items of clothing (tack) the horse wears should be in good condition and clean.

2024:NO CORRESPONDING RACE LAST YEAR
Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 4.
Stewards Note: PRINCESS NIYLA: Following its run on 28/10/2024 it was reported that the horse lost its action.
THE TIMEFORM VIEW COMA CLUSTER proved a different proposition making handicap debut/return when second at Nottingham 2 weeks ago and this well-bred filly almost certainly has more to offer. Cymbidium was consistent on turf last season and rates the main threat ahead of Beatrice Shilling, who has made a decent start for this yard.
TIMEFORM PREDICTION:
TFRHHHHI BHA75
TIMEFORM VIEW Stoutly-bred filly who showed ability despite looking quite raw in 4 runs as a juvenile. Well backed but disappointed up in trip at Southwell on AW debut/return. Worth another chance back on turf

THE TIMEFORM VIEW Plenty are in with a shout but the vote goes to NAVAL ACADEMY who hinted at a revival when sixth at Thirsk on his recent return and should also find this step back up to 7f in his favour Miss Willows rates an obvious threat on the back of her emphatic Catterick success, while Martin’s Brig, Northbound and Harry Magnus all need factoring into this open handicap too.
