THE JOCKEY CLUB WELCOMES YOU

Hello and Welcome to the 60th running of the Badger Beer Chase!

Hall & Woodhouse exists as a company ‘to Make People’s Day and Enrich our Communities from Generation to Generation’ – supporting Badger Chase Day for 60 years certainly fits in with this! I don’t think that my Father would have believed back in 1962 that our company’s sponsorship would turn out to be the longest in racing.

I am sure today will be another fabulous occasion and I would like to wish everyone a great day’s racing, especially the 400 or so members of the broader H&W family – our Shareholders, our Team, our Suppliers and our Business Partners.

If you have enjoyed some of our Badger Beers today you can now have them delivered direct to your door. Please visit www.badgerbeers.com for details of all our delicious ales and how to order online. To find out more about our beautiful pubs, which will delight whatever the occasion, please visit www.hall-woodhouse.co.uk.

Have a great day and here’s to the next 60 years.

Cheers!

Anthony Woodhouse Chairman Hall & Woodhouse Ltd

PARADE OF CHAMPIONS Wincanton Racecourse are delighted to host three members of racing royalty here today for a parade of champions.

Frodon (FR) Nine-year-old bay gelding Winner of 18 races from 41 runs The combination of Frodon and Bryony Frost has not gone unnoticed over the last two years, and the pair have enjoyed victories in some impressive races; most recently, last weekend for the Champion Chase at Down Royal. The pair came out on top of a small but classy field of five ahead of the Gordon Elliott trained Galvin. Additionally, they saw off the Gold Cup winner Minella Indo, ridden by Cheltenham Festival hero Rachael Blackmore, and Jack Kennedy aboard Delta Work into third and fourth. There’s no doubt that the pair of them are a match made in heaven, especially following Frost’s victory in the King George VI Chase at Kempton last year.

Clan Des Obeaux (FR) Nine-year-old bay gelding Winner of 10 wins from 27 runs Also featuring in the parade today is another Nicholls runner; this time in the form of nine-year-old Clan Des Obeaux. Jointly owned by some of the most iconic figures in racing (Mr & Mrs Barber, Sir Alex Ferguson and Mr Ged Mason), this smart chaser has enjoyed several victories. These include two from earlier in the year at Punchestown and, very impressively, in the Betway Bowl at Aintree- winning by twenty-six lengths from Clondaw Castle. There’s no reason to say why he should not continue his winning streak as we head back into Jumps territory this year.

Cue Card (GB) Fifteen-year-old bay gelding Winner of 16 wins from 41 runs The final of the three needs no introduction to National Hunt fans, just two words: Cue Card. With nine Grade I races to his name, the Colin Tizzard trained chaser enjoyed a succession of excellent victories, including the Betfair chase three times, the King George VI Chase and two Cheltenham Festival wins. He came dangerously close to emulating Kauto Star, but was pulled up in his third and final race, the Cheltenham Gold Cup; an action that ultimately sealed his fate.

Nonetheless, he won an incredible £1.4M in prize money and has undoubtedly secured himself a valuable place in the hearts of National Hunt fans across the country.

Racing Dreams An exciting new opportunity to get involved in racehorse ownership with a talented young gelding who will provide great fun on and off the course.

First Race

PLAY SMARTER

Ready preference is for GUY, who made a very positive start to the season when finding just one too good in a competitive Market Rasen handicap and, with just five starts under his belt in this sphere, the 6-y-o should have more to offer. Kauto The King is feared with conditions in his favour and Crealion also enters calculations, along with last year’s winner Not A Role Model.

PLAY SMARTER

Paul Nicholls has saddled five of the last seven winners of this race and KNAPPERS HILL is likely to enhance that record. A smart performer in bumpers last season, the 5-y-o made a winning start over hurdles at Chepstow and he should have little trouble in following up here before going on to better things. Kalyptra is taken to follow the selection home, with Earth Company best of the rest.

PLAY SMARTER

It’s hard to look beyond BRAVEMANSGAME, who was up there with the best in the novice hurdle ranks last season and looks destined for even better things over fences judged on his impressive display at Newton Abbot. Stablemate Mick Pastor and Faivoir can fill the places, in that order of preference.

PLAY SMARTER

A winner of a C&D mares’ novice back in February, ROSE OF ARCADIA noticeably travelled well without seeing her race out with any great conviction when fifth in a competitive handicap at Newbury back in the spring. However, a well-related mare, she remains one to be positive about and could be the answer to this tricky puzzle.

Kissesforkatie and Emmpressive Lady are others fancied to feature.

PLAY SMARTER

CAP DU NORD came of age over fences last season, winning a valuable handicap at Newbury on his second start before a series of fine runs in defeat in other good races.

Last month’s spin at Chepstow should have blown the cobwebs away and a big effort could be forthcoming with his usual cheekpieces back on. Highland Hunter is a huge player for Paul Nicholls, as is last year’s winner El Presente.

Last year’s victor SCEAU ROYAL teed himself up perfectly for a repeat performance when comfortably accounting for Silver Streak at Kempton last month, so Alan King’s likeable sort can fend off Kingwell scorer Goshen, who could easily bounce back now with his yard among the winners. Christoper Wood can’t be ruled out either if a wind op ekes out some more improvement.

IMPORTANT NOTICES Abandoned Racing

Emergency Evacuation

In the event of abandonment before the conclusion of the first race, racegoers will receive a full refund. If racing is abandoned between the first and third races, 50% will be refunded. Thereafter no refunds will be made. Applications must be made in writing to the Racecourse Office within 14 days of the race meeting and must be accompanied by the paper admission ticket. No refunds will be available on the day of racing. If racing is abandoned prior to the raceday, or before gates open, all pre-booked tickets that have been paid for in advance will automatically be refunded in full.

Whilst we always endeavour to take appropriate steps to ensure your safety, comfort and enjoyment, an incident may occur which is beyond our control and it is, therefore, important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency. We employ Safety Officials whose job it is to ensure your safety. In the event of a situation which requires a partial or full evacuation of the Stands, announcements will be broadcast and the Officials will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your belongings with you and proceed out of the enclosure quickly and quietly under their guidance. The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area. It may give you peace of mind if you pre-plan and agree a meeting place with your party, just in case you become separated. If we are unable to re-occupy the Stands for any reason, you will be advised immediately, and, if it is considered safe to do so, you will be invited to return to your car or coach. These are precautionary arrangements which we trust will not be required. However, in the event of an emergency please remember; Take your belongings with you and under direction of the officials proceed quickly and quietly to the safe area then to your agreed rendezvous point or to your car or coach.

Racehorse & Jockey Welfare

Photography

The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority. The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation. The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards. In addition Wincanton Racecourse employs three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse. In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team.

Qualified paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey. If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.

Racegoers may take photographs for private use within the areas normally open to the public. Flash photography is not permitted.

Prize Money The Horserace Betting Levy Board general prize money schemes provide for the inclusion of £483,400 at this Racecourse until 31st December 2020.

As expressly permitted by the Wincanton Racecourse Special Conditions, attendees may not use mobile telephones, laptop computers or any other communications device whilst on the Racecourse to communicate with anyone outside the Racecourse for the purpose of or in connection with any betting.
