KINGWELL HURDLE DAY SATURDAY 17 FEBRUARY 2024 OFFICI AL R ACEC ARD - £3.50

The Jockey Club would like to thank our Group Partners for their support in 2023 2024

WELCOME TO

Welcome to JenningsBet Kingwell Day 2024.

We have a fantastic seven race card for you to enjoy today with some top-quality equine participants.

The JenningsBet Kingwell Hurdle maintains its status as a premier two-mile hurdle and is a defining route to the Cheltenham Champion Hurdle. This race was first run in 1971 and was awarded Grade 2 status in 1991 with notable winners such as Desert Orchid and more recently Yanworth, Elgin and Goshen.

Can Goshen makes this a third renewal?

We welcome a number of students from Bath and Bournemouth through Invades who we are proud to work in partnership with to engage with the next generation of racing fans.

We’d like to thank our sponsor JenningsBet for their support today and we wish them and their guests a wonderful day with us.

We hope you all have a fantastic day and enjoy the first-class sport on offer this afternoon.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Wincanton on Wednesday 28th February.

Warm Wishes, Blaithin Murphy General Manager

DON’T FORGET OUR NEXT MEETING WEDNESDAY 28TH FEBRUARY AFTERNOON RACING Join us for a thrilling afternoon of racing.

EXPERT VIEW

A quick way to see a horse’s past performance. These are its recent finishing positions.

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.

It could just pay to take a chance on DREAMING BLUE who ran a cracker under positive tactics when third at Ludlow on his penultimate start and a return to a right-handed track (tended to jump right at Doncaster latest) with blinkers enlisted could see PLAY SMARTER Anthony Honeyball’s charge in a better light. King’s Threshold remains the type to do better in this sphere and he’s feared, along with chase-debutant Individualiste.
