Wincanton Racecard - Tuesday 16th December by Weatherbys

The Jockey Club would like to thank our Group Partners for their support in 2025

WELCOME TO

Welcome to Wincanton Racecourse, and thank you for joining us for our Christmas Jumper Raceday! We hope you’ve arrived in your ﬁnest festive knitwear — we’ll be awarding prizes for the best jumpers throughout the day.

A very warm Happy 80th Birthday to race sponsor John Stranger, and our sincere thanks to Priced Up for their generous sponsorship as well

We’re pleased to be joined today by Somerset Bowel Screening, who are here to provide information about bowel cancer and the screening process. You can ﬁnd them in the Stalbridge Bar. Our Charity of the Year, Horatio’s Garden, is also on site with a wonderful selection of gifts available to purchase, perfect for all ages.

A huge thank-you to all owners for choosing to run your horses here today; we have some wonderfully competitive ﬁelds and are delighted to host you.

Looking ahead, our next meeting is the Boxing Day Fixture. Premier tickets have now sold out, but there is still limited availability in the Paddock Pavilion marquee for hospitality. Grandstand and Course Enclosure tickets can also be purchased online.

We wish you all a fantastic Christmas, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Wincanton Racecourse again very soon.

Blaithin Murphy. General Manager

BETTING EXPLAINED

Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number

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

‘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.

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

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

Probable S.P’s: 4-6 Regent’s Stroll (IRE), 11-8 Jeriko du Reponet (FR)

Matches are not usually particularly intriguing but this is an exception, with REGENT’S STROLL andJeriko du Reponet bothverytalented hurdlerswho are opento improvement inthis sphere. The former is preferred on the back of a highly promising chase debut third in the John Francome at Newburywhere his exuberance may have ultimately prevented him from justifying strong support. On that evidence the return of the hood will be a good thing.

Stewards Note:

SHOT BOII: Following its run on 19/11/2025 it was reported that the horse stopped quickly

TUSCAN ROSE: Following its run on 17/11/2025 it was reported that the horse was never travelling.

It was disappointing to see SHOT BOII run so badlywhen prominent in the betting for his seasonal reappearance at Ffos Las, but he has been given a real opportunity by the handicapper and is worth another chance. An on-song Born At Midnight would be a threat, while Redbridge Rambler and The Big Reveal are others to consider

PLAY SMARTER

PIPING ROCK knew his job when runner-up on debut in this sphere at Windsor and he is taken to go one betterhere.The 4-y-owill probablyhave mostto fearfrom Gatineau Park,who hitthe target at Lingﬁeld last month and is open to progress. Khafre’s Rules debut at Cheltenham was certainly not devoid of promise and he is also shortlisted, along with Hold The Serve, who was well held in the same Cheltenham race but should leave that run well behind in time.

Many ifs and buts to ponder, with FLASH GORCOMBE earning the vote following much deliberation. The 8-y-o didn’t shape badly on his seasonal reappearance over this C&D and will have every chance provided that the word ‘soft’ appears in the going description. Noahsgreatrainbow showed something more akin to his useful bumper form over hurdles at Hereford last time and will be a major threat if his jumping passes the test on this chase debut. Ede’iffs Rock is best ofthe rest

Stewards Note:

MIDNIGHT GINGER: Following its run on 21/11/2025 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe.

GETMETOTHEMOON: Following its run on 20/11/2025 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.

APPLES MOON continued her progress when making a winning return at Exeter and with that form working out well Nicky Martin’s mare is fancied to make light of a 6lb weights rise. Bobbi With An I should prove suited by this drop back in trip and rates the main threat ahead of Border Gem and Miss Goldﬁre.

IMPORTANT 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.
