JACK PARKINSON General Manager, Wincanton Racecourse

Welcome Welcome to Wincanton Racecourse. This racecard will provide you with all the information you will need for your time with us. Should you wish for information about future ﬁxtures, please scan the QR code below. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Hello and Welcome to the 62nd Badger Beer Chase! As the oldest brewery to be owned by the same family throughout its history of 246 years it is totally appropriate that our beer brand Badger is the oldest sponsor in racing. Back in 1962 our mothers Sally and Susie persuaded our fathers that it would be great to join the likes of Whitbread and Hennessey in sponsoring a race. The ﬁrst race was due to be run on Boxing Day in that year but months of snow and ice saw it eventually run at Wincanton in March 1963. Today is therefore a big day out for the Hall & Woodhouse family with over 400 Team Members, Shareholders and Pub Business Partners attending and we hope everyone enjoys it as much as we will! If you would like to know more about our history, our awardwinning Badger beers or our wonderful pubs please visit: www.hall-woodhouse.co.uk. Have a great day! Anthony Woodhouse

How the experts rate the horse’s chances:

Look out for Letters: C D CD BF

= Has won at this course = Has won over this distance = Has won over this distance at this course = Was a beaten favourite

MORE INFORMATION ON THE FORM / P F U R CO B S r

= New racing season = Missed racing season = Was pulled-up and didn’t finish the race = Horse fell = Rider unseated = Horse refused to race = The horse was forced out of a race by a loose horse = Horse was brought down = Horse slipped = The horse ran around a jump or took the wrong course in a flat race = Disqualified

d Bold form ﬁgures = performance in all-weather (Flat) or Point-to-Point (Jump) races

2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse. 3. Timeform view and TFR rating 4. HORSE’S TRAINER & THEIR LOCATION

Look out for the summary of leading course trainers before each race. 5. JOCKEYS Listen out for any jockeys who are having a successful day. OTHER USEFUL DETAILS 6. Owner’s colours worn by the Jockey 7. Saddlecloth number 8. Horse’s name 9. Days since the horse last run 10. Horse’s age 11. Jockey’s weight (stone and lbs) 12.

BETTING EXPLAINED Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number.

Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.

Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.

Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online. Each option offers a different experience.

‘To win’ is for your horse to come ﬁrst. ‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come ﬁrst or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.

Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.

FLAGRANT DELITIEP goes very well round here and hinted at a revival with his recent Plumpton fourth so edges the vote off a 2lb lower mark. Volkovka is less exposed and could prove a big threat if, as expected, taking another PLAY SMARTER step forward this term. Huelgoat, Ede’iffs Elton and Enjoy Your Life all need factoring in too.

THE BADGER BEER HANDICAP CHASE The first Badger Beer Handicap Chase was run in 1962 and was awarded Listed status in 2003. It has since become a Premier Handicap. The feature fixture is an early season highlight at Wincanton Racecourse and typically attracts some of the country’s best. It is run over three miles and about one furlong and is open to four-yearold’s and upwards. This race has proved fruitful for Paul Nicholls, who currently holds the record for most wins, with the trainer being successful on 11 occasions, including last year’s winner Frodon. Nicholls gained his first win back in 1999 when Flaked Oats won the first of back-toback victories. Frost and Nicholls have teamed up to win this race on three occasions, twice with Present Man in 2017 and 2018 and of course, last year. The pair join forces once again as Frodon aims to make it back-to-back victories after last year’s triumph. The higher rated horses tend to be successful in this race, with 11 of the past 12 winners being rated 134 or higher and course knowledge has also been key with 10 of the previous 12 winners having at least one previous run at Wincanton, whilst six out of 12 winners having at least one previous win at this course. This race has a prize fund of £70,000 and Frost is the joint second most successful jockey in the race’s history with only Timmy Murphy (five wins) being more successful.

Stablemate Threeunderthrufive was a good fourth in the Scottish PLAY SMARTER Grand National when last seen and can provide the chief threat ahead of Blackjack Magic, who is capable of better again but needs to prove his jumping can cope with the demands of a good race.

FIFTH RACE

Richard J Barber 1941 – 2019

From his stables in Seaborough in Dorset Richard Barber saddled well over 1,000 Point to Point winners. He saddled his ﬁrst winner, Gerry Doyle, at Nedge point to point in 1986, and his ﬁnal one, Whataknight, at Bratton Down in 2014. It is no exaggeration to say that during his time Richard Barber raised the bar and transformed the sport of point to pointing in the West Country. Richard was a true country gentleman, a wise man, a caring man who regularly stood up for the underdog, a man who had time for everyone and a man who had few words but those that he imparted were well worth listening to. He made an indelible contribution to the sport of horse racing.

Racegoers are reminded that dogs are not permitted within the Premier and Grandstand Enclosures or within the Centre of the Course. Dogs in the Course Enclosure must be kept on a lead at all times.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION 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 reoccupy 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.

HEALTH AND SAFETY NOTICE The Racecourse would be grateful if you would observe all Health & Safety requirements whilst you are at Wincanton Racecourse. The emergency exits from the bars onto the grandstand stepping are painted yellow and we would request that you do not stop whilst in this area. We would also request that only those that are disabled use the disabled viewing ramp and that parents keep a close eye on all children and prevent them from climbing the running rails and getting on to the actual racecourse. We would also like to remind racegoers that the ﬁrst aid room is located adjacent to the weighing room.

NOTICES

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.

CROSSING THE COURSE 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.
