On behalf of my Company Jenningsbet, I would like to extend a warm welcome to everybody at Wincanton today.

We are the UK`s largest Independent Bookmaker with shops nationwide, including every London Borough.

Today, customers and staff from Christchurch, Devizes and Witney are making the journey to Wincanton on coach trips organised by our wonderful managers and I hope every one of them has a great day and back a few winners!

As well as flagship shops being on Newmarket High Street and Newbury, we can also be found locally in Andover, Christchurch, Devizes & Basingstoke. We offer great prices and a warm welcome. Horse racing is the lifeblood of our business and that is why I think it is important to support the British Racing Industry.

Probable S.P’s: 9-2 Fame And Fun (IRE), 8-1 Torula (IRE), 9-1 Sami Bear (GB), 10-1 Havaila (IRE), 12-1 Jet Marshall (IRE), Seymour Promise (IRE), 18-1 Ferdinand Star (GB), 22-1 Sermando (FR), Hazy Dream (GB), Baliyad (IRE), 25-1 Helios Allen (FR), Colden’s Dream (IRE), Darksideoftarnside (IRE), 33-1 Benandgone (GB), 50-1 Phoenix Risen (GB), Pak Army (IRE), 100-1 Dannystory (IRE)

FAME AND FUN had more in hand than the bare margin suggests when making a winning handicap bow at Taunton, so a 6lb rise shouldn’t prevent him from making another bold bid with further improvement very much on the cards. Havaila’s opening mark is potentially a good one taking on his elders for the first time, while Torula and Jet Marshall are other handicap debutants to consider

Having impressed when scoring on his hurdles bow at Wetherby, SPARTAN ARMY couldn’t build on that in a Chepstow Grade 2 over Christmas. Still, he wasn’t given a hard time when his chance had gone and remaining with potential back in calmer waters, he can take advantage of his handy 4-y-o allowance and get back to winning ways Matata, Cetic Art and Killaloan head up the dangers, in that order

He was an incredibly important person in the history of the racecourse and we wouldn’t be watching this great sport today without his intervention in 1945.

Racehorse & Jockey Welfare

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

The centre of the course viewing is available to all Premier enclosure ticket holders. Please note you must stay within the designated area and access will not be allowed from the time horses are on the course until all horses have left the course The only exception to this will be for owners and trainers with runners on the day and racecourse officials
