York Racecard - Sunday 22nd May

TRIBUTE WEEKEND SUNDAY FEATURING

Welcome A very warm welcome to the Knavesmire for some excellent racing action as we are proud to host the Sky Bet Sunday Series for the first time. I hope you have a thoroughly enjoyable day, whether your primary focus is the equine stars or the musical performers or even. a bit of both!

With £200,000 on offer over what look to be seven ultra-competitive contests, this initiative is a collaboration between Sky Bet, ITV and the six racecourses involved through their Racing TV connection. We thank everyone involved in staging today’s fixture.

As six of the races are handicaps, the theory says that all of the 116 runners have a chance, so take advantage of any clues you can find to split them - perhaps the Punter’s Panel at 3.05pm, the Press Selections Board or your own eyes as you view them in the Parade Ring.

There are plenty of familiar names, perhaps none more so than Dakota Gold who is already a six-time winner on the Knavesmire for Darlington trainer, Michael Dods. Seven would be a new record, regardless of whether Copper Knight reached the same landmark on Saturday.

There are generous bonus prizes for successful connections, over the Sky Bet Sunday Series, so the owners of both Eilean Dubh (5.05pm) and Haizoom (6.05pm), as well as Karl Burke and Keith Dalgleish, will be most keen to follow up success at Hamilton.

York Racecourse is committed to supporting the sport and to attracting the best horses to race for us all to enjoy. As an indication of this commitment, prize money over the season will reach £10m for the first time. This can only be achieved through the support of racegoers and of our sponsors. Many thanks for your attendance and to Sky Bet as well as the European Breeders’ Fund, for their generous support.

The team have been busy preparing for your return, the Champagne Pavilion has been given a fresh new look, whilst on the ground floor of the Knavesmire Stand, the renamed 1731 Pie Shop both celebrates the year when racing started on the Knavesmire and serves a range of home-made goodies. If we are blessed with the weather then the Roberto Village Bar offer a speed of service with nearby outside seating.

A special mention to some of our other guests today; all the retired racehorses on parade at 2.30pm (read their stories on p15-18), Freya Thackary in her amazing Aintree to Ascot challenge in aid of Racing Welfare (give her a cheer or better a donation at 3pm), and Remy our equine ambassador who would love to meet you in the Clocktower Enclosure.

I hope you enjoy our own version of Queen, a week ahead of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, as we welcome Majesty Queen to entertain us after racing.

Many thanks again for your support and best wishes for an enjoyable and successful raceday.

Please take your belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and quietly. If we are unable to re-occupy the stands, you may be invited to return to your car or coach. Departure from car and coach parks will be under the direction of the Police. The foregoing is a precautionary tale.

A RACECOURSE FOR ALL

We want the racecourse to offer both a welcome and an enjoyable day to all our racegoers and in delivering that we recognise that some may need additional assistance from us.

The first thing to say, please just ask for help, if the team don’t have an instant answer, then they know someone who will. The team in the Racecourse Reception (behind the Ebor Stand) act as the link to the rest of the team, as needed.

FAQS Is there disabled and blue badge parking?

Yes, I hope you found it. All our car parks have designated spaces near their front row.

Can I get help with getting to/from the car park, taxi rank or shuttle buses?

Yes, there is a complimentary buggy service to all these points, ask at racecourse reception or next time you arrive just call 01904 620911. Thank you for your patience as the buggies can only transfer 4 people at a time and it’s a big site.

Can I bring a wheelchair?

Yes, if you need to; but we also offer complimentary hire, again from Racecourse Reception (see told you they were the hub). As we hope you’ll appreciate, there are only so many wheelchairs on site, if you need to reserve in advance then call 01904 620911.

Can I bring somebody to help?

Yes, we appreciate that will come in various forms, we hope our “carer comes free” scheme is a help, before your next visit check it out online at www.yorkracecourse.co.uk or just ask the team today.

Are there wheelchair viewing platforms?

Yes, in all stand side area and Stands easiest thing to do is to ask our Stewards, though a map is available from, you guessed it, Racecourse Reception. Please use these in the spirit intended, with carers being prepared to step aside to allow space for those who need the view the most. Extra space has been reserved immediately in front of the stage, please ask a nearby steward for access.

What about toilets and are they part of the Radar scheme?

Yes they are, all the permanent toilet blocks have a disabled capability, please ask for directions or check that map from you know where.

Are their wheelchair height food and drink counters?

Yes there are but not as many as we’d like, please ask a member of the team to assist you.

Wheelchair height betting?

Yes, there are some Tote counters set at a reduced height though a better plan might be to use the courier service that operates in areas such as the main Champagne Lawns; the Tote team themselves are always willing to help.

There was one more thing?

Please ask, we value your feedback so we can keep improving in this area.

2.30pm Retraining training aining of o Racehor Racehorsess (RoR) Parade Kindly sponsored spons by y Juddmont Juddmonte Today’s ROR Parade A parade of retrained racehorses takes place in the paddock from 2.15pm to 2.30pm. The parade is kindly sponsored by Juddmonte and showcases the remarkable versatility of the thoroughbred together with the range of activities open to racehorses when they finish their racing careers, thanks to the work of Retraining of Racehorses (RoR).

Today’s parade features York’s own equine ambassador, Goldream, the Group 1 winning sprinter who is now based at New Beginnings, the Yorkshire charity that retrains and rehomes former racehorses. Also featured in the parade are former racehorses doing diverse second careers such as western riding and horseball, as well as those excelling in the more traditional RoR activities, dressage and showing.

Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) is British Horseracing’s official charity for the welfare of horses that have retired from racing.

RoR annually stages over 40 separate competition series across 15 different disciplines, catering for all levels of ability, from grassroots to elite. The disciplines include dressage, showing, polo, eventing, show jumping, endurance, hunting and horseball.

BOTHWELL CASTLE – ridden by Melissa Fawcett

15-year-old gelding by Captain Rio, formerly trained by Patrick Haslam Breeder – Stephanie Hanley Bothwell Castle had an undistinguished racing career, being placed once from five starts as a two-year-old and he was last seen on a racecourse in 2009. However, his post-racing career has been much more rewarding. For the last six years he has been with Melissa Fawcett and together the pair have scaled notable heights in both dressage and showing. Among their many accolades won in the dressage arena was that of 2019 RoR Regional League Champions at Elementary level. While in showing the combination have qualified for the RoR National Championships at Aintree in both the Ridden and In-Hand classes every year from 2018-2021.

BRIDGE VALLEY – ridden by Ruth Wilkinson

15-year-old gelding by Avonbridge, formerly trained by Jason Ward Breeder – D J and Mrs Deer Bridge Valley initially raced in the colours of his owner-breeder, John Deer, for whom he won a Sandown maiden in 2009 when trained by Richard Hannon Snr. Despite racing on until 2014, he failed to add to that one success. Since coming out of training, Bridge Valley has been with Ruth Wilkinson and his laid-back nature has made him a relatively easy horse to retrain.

He has excelled in the show ring, winning numerous local classes and graduating to compete nationally, including qualifying for Tattersalls RoR Open Ridden Show Series final at Hickstead, among other feats. He has also enjoyed success at dressage and Ruth says of him: “He’s made so many of my dreams and ambitions come true, he’s just the best.”

CHAPLIN BAY – ridden by Molly Inman

10-year-old gelding by Fastnet Rock, formerly trained by Ruth Carr Breeder – Stonethorn Stud Farms Ltd In a career spanning six years and 72 starts, Chaplin Bay won six races before being retired from the track in 2020. Now in the care of Ruth Wilkinson, Chaplin Bay is being retrained with a view to him doing some eventing as he proving to be a natural jumper. But first he will learn his trade in the show ring and in that sphere, he was recently twice placed third in classes for former racehorses.

16

GOLDREAM – ridden by Pippa Norris

13-year-old gelding by Oasis Dream, formerly trained by Robert Cowell Breeder – Tsega Breeding Ltd Goldream is an ambassador for New Beginnings, the Yorkshire charity that retrains and rehomes former racehorses.

The winner of a Group 2 race at Deauville and four Listed races, Nearly Caught enjoyed a distinguished fiveyear career on the flat as a classy stayer. Retired from racing in 2018, Nearly Caught is now, like Goldream, an ambassador for New Beginnings, the Yorkshire charity that retrains and rehomes former racehorses. Described as “a lovely horse with a super character”, Nearly Caught is enjoying schooling, hacking and competing in dressage competitions, recently picking up third prize in a dressage class.

PEVERIL POINT – ridden by David Worthington

7-year-old by Canford Cliffs, formerly trained by Henry Tett Breeder – Denis McDonnell In a short-lived racing career, Peveril Point ran twice without success before being retired from racing in 2018. He was subsequently bought by Jude Worthington with a view to retraining him to compete in horseball for her husband, David. A long-standing member of Team GB, David has captained the national horseball team at both junior and senior level and enjoyed a lot of success with former racehorse Inchloss, who is now retired. Peveril Point is currently competing in Pro Elite Horseball with David, as well as training in dressage and having the occasional day’s hunting with Jude.

TOUCH OF FAITH – ridden by Jude Worthington

8-year-old by Zoffany, formerly trained by Michael Appleby Breeder – Jusoor Syndicate

Touch Of Faith ran three times on the flat, finishing last on each occasion and on his final run in 2017 he was beaten 58 lengths!

Not surprisingly, he was deemed too slow to be a racehorse but he has since found his niche in horseball. Bought and retrained

AINTREE TO ASCOT CHALLENGE

Nine-year-old Freja Thackary is once again taking on an ultimate challenge in aid of Racing Welfare. Having so far raised over £9,000 with her previous two fundraisers, Freja will be covering the distance of Aintree to Ascot (194 miles) using the three triathlon disciplines; swimming, cycling and running.

The challenge started during the Cheltenham Festival and will finish during Royal Ascot. Freja is taking the opportunity to get as many of her runs completed at racecourses and will be at completing a leg at York Racecourse today!

Find out more about Freja's challenge by following her on Twitter - @RunningForRW or scanning the QR Code

ABOUT RACING WELFARE Racing Welfare supports all of racing’s people - including stud, stable and racecourse staff, alongside those working in associated professions - from their recruitment right through to retirement.

Without the support of fundraisers like Freja this work wouldn’t be possible.

WHERE CAN I PLACE A B T

There are various points and different ways to bet here at York.

1. Place a bet with the tote. 2. You can go to the betting ring. 3. Use a William Hill Retail SP Betting Shop.

With over 300 tote betting points located around the course, there is always one nearby.

The main betting ring is situated in front of the Knavesmire Stand with an additional ring in Course Enclosure and sometimes a third set of bookies on Bustardthorpe Lawn.There are two William Hill Retail SP betting shops at York; one on the ground floor of the Knavesmire Stand and the seond being the refurbished shop on the ground floor of the Melrose Stand.

In addition, racegoers in the Clocktower area will find a William Hill Retail SP facility underneath the clock tower.

PLACING YOUR BET WITH A BOOKMAKER Shop around for the best odds against your selection. When you have decided on where to place your bet, state the number of your chosen horse and the stake, for example “number 4, £2 win”. Listen to the bookmaker repeat the number of the horse and the stake to his/ her clerk and hand your stake to the bookmaker. You will then be given an itemised receipt that gives details of the bet and shows potential winnings. You should keep this ticket safe.

COLLECTING YOUR WINNINGS If your selection wins (or, in the case of a place bet, is placed), hand the ticket back to the bookmaker for settlement. NEVER destroy your ticket until after the “Weighed In” announcement has been made. There may still be a stewards enquiry and the first past the post, or placed horses, may be disqualified. On rare occasions even the horse coming fourth has been awarded the race. You may bet with confidence with any bookmaker as they have all been approved by the Administration Of Gambling On Tracks Limited, which administers the betting rings at each of Britain’s 59 racecourses. The AGT also offers a full late pay service, in case a bookmaker leaves the course before you have collected your winnings.

Late Pay Claims should be sent to Administration Of Gambling On Tracks Limited, 3a, Kings Hall, Parsons Green, St Ives, Cambs, PE27 4WY.

WAYS TO BET STRAIGHT EACH WAY

Win Only A bookmaker taking each way bets will display the terms on which he/ she accepts such bets on the top of his/her board. This is a bet for your selection to win or be placed.

In conjunction with The RCA, the bookmakers have introduced standard each-way terms.

Bookmakers will provide these terms, or better, when offering each-way betting.

• Fewer than 3 runners - all on to win • 3 or 4 runners – all on to win. Where a bookmaker wishes to depart from this default position he may offer place terms. This must be at 1/5 odds a place 1,2 • 5 – 7 runners (inclusive) – 1/4 odds a place 1,2 • 8 or more runners – 1/5 odds a place 1,2,3 • Handicaps with 12 to 15 runners (inclusive) – 1/4 odds a place 1,2,3 • Handicaps with 16 to 21 runners (inclusive) – 1/5 odds a place 1,2,3,4 • Handicaps with 22 or more runners – 1/4 odds a place 1,2,3,4 AWAY BETTING Many bookmakers will also take bets at the other race meetings today.

They offer a comprehensive service, including bets settled TAX FREE at Starting Price (S.P.).

BETTING WITHOUT THE FAVOURITE

At reduced odds you can back a horse and collect if it wins or runs second to the horse nominated by the bookmaker as favourite.

STRAIGHT FORECAST

Name the first and second in the correct order.

In the unlikely event of a dispute with a bookmaker, please call upon the assistance of the AGT Betting Ring Manager. Their office is located near the Theakston Bar to the South of the main Betting Ring.

Official BHA Ratings The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part usually in three races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability.

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

Racing Post Standard Times is an independent assessment based on how long it should take a 90-rated horse to win on Good To Firm ground at York. Race tactics, rail movements, and wind direction are amongst the many factors to also affect the time for each specific race.

Non-runner Ground - The Trainer states the ground is not suitable for this horse, the official going has changed since the time of declaration.

Vet - The Trainer states the horse is subject to a Veterinary Certificate.

Self Certificate - The trainer has advised the authorities that the horse is not able to race today.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

P RLEZ-VOUS R CING? ESSENTIAL RACING PHRASES FOR THE BEGINNER It could be easy to be put off by the weird and wonderful words and phrases banded around the racecourse, but in fact, its all part of the fun.

Like a tourist in a foreign country, the novice racegoer soon picks up enough of the language to get by, and then rapidly becomes fluent.

The following terms will provide any newcomer, keen to enhance their language skills, with just enough of the jargon to sound like a ‘local’: RACING SPEAK

ENGLISH

ALLOWANCE: .......................The weight concession the horse is given to compensate for its rider’s inexperience.

AMATEUR: .............................(Rider) on racecards, their names are usually prefixed by Mr, Mrs, etc. To indicate their amateur licence holder status.

ANTE-POST: ..........................Betting (usually for the most important races) days or even months before the race is due to take place.

1st Race 3.30 The Sky Bet Sunday Series Apprentice Stakes

1m 4f Handicap 0-85 £25,000 4+ Centre

One Mile About Four Furlongs (2,400 metres)

See page 77 for conditions of this race.

RACE DESCRIPTION Welcome to Tribute Weekend Sunday at York. We start with a handicap. Such races are designed for close competition with the handicapper as the independent assessor who rates horses on past performance, seeking to get them crossing the line together, by handing out differing weights.

The best on past form will be the highest rated horse and so will carry more weight, Kihavah is the top weight in this one.

All the jockeys are apprentices, however Connections can reduce the weight carried by their contender by choosing to use a rider with more or less previous success. You can see this reflected in the bracketed figure after the rider’s name. See how Casilli benefits from Connor Planas lifting off 7lbs, whereas the fifty plus winners for Harry Russell means Annandale gets no relief.

Good luck in starting as you’d wish to go on!

KNAVESMIRE TIP In a wide-open contest the marginal preference is for the unexposed WHITE WILLOW, who has won two of her last three starts. A 4lb rise for the most recent of those wins may underestimated this daughter of New Bay. Freak Out caught the eye on his seasonal return recently and he could go well once again this afternoon. The recent Leicester winner Topanticipation has to be on the shortlist, while El Picador and Happy are others to note.

The Sky Bet Sunday Series EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

5f Novice £15,000 2 Farside

Five Furlongs (1,000 metres) See page 77 for conditions of this race.

RACE DESCRIPTION This one is limited to the babies of the game, aged just two; they don’t have much if any track experience hence the term “novice”.

All are registered with the European Breeders’ Fund. This means that their sire (father) is based and registered in Europe with the EBF, which is a scheme to encourage the best in bloodstock.

Making an allowance for the physical difference between make and female, the fillies would earn a lower weight but none take up that challenge here. Amongst the boys, if you have won before then it means additional weight but all four seek their first W, it is level weights.

A proven method in these races.is your choice of “P”s, pedigree or pin

KNAVESMIRE TIP WALBANK produced a performance rich in potential to chase home Noble Style in a hot novice event at Ascot first time out and it would be no surprise to see the 525,000gns purchase prove a cut above these rivals. Beautiful Sunrise, who seemed to get caught out a little by the track at Newmarket first time out, is likely to go well along with both Minnesota Lad and Professor Pesca.

KNAVESMIRE TIP Marginal preference is for AZURE BLUE. A mark of 78 should be well within range judged on her two-year-old form and Michael Dods’ charge could take all of the beating on her seasonal reappearance. Maybe Even Never (second) and Showtime Mahomes (third) clashed over 5f at the Dante Festival and both are entitled to be in the shake-up, while Beluga Gold should go close again.

Al Ameen and Fast And Loose are others to consider.

KNAVESMIRE TIP A devilishly competitive race in which recent Hamilton winner Eilean Dubh should go well again despite a 5lb rise, but better value may lie with the three horses who finished immediately behind him at the Scottish venue, Mostawaa, Harswell Duke and A BOY NAMED IVY. The latter of that trio is a renowned hold-up horse who is at his best when delivered late off a strong pace, so this race should be run to suit. Seasett, back over 1m, is also of some interest with talented apprentice Benoit De La Sayette taking off a handy 5lb.

DAKOTA GOLD:

JOINT WINNING-MOST HORSE HERE EYES ON OUR FIFTH RACE WHEN DAKOTA GOLD, HOPES TO RECORD WIN NUMBER SEVEN. On a summer evening back in July 2017, as most attention was switching to the concert stage where Jess Glynne fans gathered, a shrewd bunch of connections kept their eyes firmly on the track as Dakota Gold justified the favourite’s tag when delivering win number one on the Knavesmire.

The coming years would see the Michael Dods trained bay gelding rise up through the handicap marks, with increasingly high-profile successes. The six-figure prize in the Sky Bet Dash, then the opening contest of the Ebor Festival 2019, followed by a Group 2 triumph in the Bengough Stakes which had been rerouted to York from a soggy Ascot.

His most recent victory came on the opening day of this 2022 season at the Dante Festival. Owned throughout by Doug Graham and members of the Davison family, you sense his story has not yet been fully written.

KNAVESMIRE TIP Dakota Gold returned to winning ways at the Dante meeting, when having several of these in behind, and the eight-year-old commands respect once again, despite a 4lb rise for that effort. His stable companion Pendleton, who was third in that contest, is expected to be in the mix once again, but the vote goes to ADAAY TO REMEMBER. She placed in a couple of Listed events at the back end of 2021 and a return to handicap company might see her back to winning ways. Premier Power and Asjad are others to note.

6th Race 6.05 The Sky Bet Sunday Series Stayers Stakes

Two Miles About 56 Yards (3,200 metres)

Distance: Race Type: Rating: Prize Money: Age: Stalls:

2m Handicap 0-85 £25,000 4+ Inside Rail

See page 77 for conditions of this race.

RACE DESCRIPTION Once more unto the handicap breech dear friend, your key numbers are two miles, up to 85 rated, four-year-old and up.

“Offer a chance for everyone” is a good maxim for those planning races and in this contest the upper rating of 85 means that though these ones are still quality performers, they won’t have their spotlight stolen by a real superstar.

Head to the rail as the starting gates are very close to the Stands, before they run a little over a circuit of the Knavesmire.

If you listened to the Punters Panel at 3.05pm, you can either cheer them or blame them after this one.

KNAVESMIRE TIP It could pay to side with the progressive SUPER SUPERJACK in what looks a fiercely competitive handicap. Milton Harris’ gelding has gone to another level since returning this season, winning readily over 2m at both Goodwood and Ascot, and a further 4lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to anchor him. Emaraty Hero brings winning course form to the table and merits consideration now back up in trip, while Phoenix Aquilus, Evaluation, Wor Willie and Tendentious are others to note.

KNAVESMIRE TIP ESPRESSOO confirmed the promise that she displayed as a juvenile when getting off the mark at Ayr last month and she then made a winning handicap debut at Chelmsford. The hat-trick seeking filly may have more to offer today and she should not be underestimated. Midheaven chased home the selection last time and she could give her plenty to think about on 3lb better terms today, while Random Harvest and Heredia are others who have to be of some interest.
