Sean Quinlan J Jennie Candlish, Leek T Equine Products UK Ltd S
The Great British Bonus (GBB) incentivises and rewards the breeding, buying and racing of British-bred fillies by paying out up to £100,000 per filly. And now with GBBPlus to further incentivise staying fillies and chasing mares, there are more reasons than ever to breed, buy and race British. Majority funded by HBLB.
TF VIEW Belatedly opened account in 19f Downpatrick maiden hurdle in June and having left one good yard for another, he travelled powerfully tackling 3m first time (fitted with a tongue tie) when landing 3-runner handicap chase at Warwick 22 days ago.

BEST TURNED OUT
Happy ‘60th’ Birthday
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.
Alison
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.
Where else for her family and closest friends to celebrate her milestone birthday, than at her favourite Racecourse! Being the shy girl she is, Alison preferred to include a picture of her girl ‘Queenofthejukebox’, a Winner and placed 2nd in her first two runs at Wetherby earlier this year.
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.
Alison is a proud, part-owner and Queenie gave her the most thrilling experience when winning her NH Maiden here at Wetherby. Best wishes for another memorable Wetherby Raceday.
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.

HORSE WELFARE
Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn first time by No. 4. Tongue Strap worn by No. 1, 2.
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.
Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 1. Running for the first time since Wind Surgery No. 2. PROBABLE S.P.’s 11-8 Breizh River (FR), 2-1 Josh The Boss (GB), 9-2 Parisencore (FR), 8-1 Genois (FR) THE TIMEFORM VIEW The autumn has been the time to catch JOSH THE BOSS in the past and representing a bang-in-form yard, he could be the way to go on reappearance post breathing operation.

BOBBY RENTON The late Bobby Renton trained many winners from his base at Oxclose, near Ripon, including the 1950 Grand National winner, Freebooter. He also trained Red Rum before he became a household name. His long and distinguished training career lasted for some 50 years. He occasionally rode his own horses as an amateur rider, and he was a sprightly 75 years old when riding in his last race - a selling hurdle at Hexham on September 30th, 1963. He finished unplaced on Devon Peter, thereby being acknowledged as Britain’s oldest jockey!

THE TIMEFORM VIEW CENTURION’S SISTER hardly gave her backers a moment’s worry when readily opening her account in a Market Rasen maiden a couple of months back and, still unexposed granted this sort of test, she’s fancied to continue the good work back in a handicap with cheekpieces retained. Noonetellsmenothin returns with his stable in good form and is a danger, with Fine Point and Farhh Echo other in-form sorts to consider in a competitive finale.
