This is a five furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 59 to 78 In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than a lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.

This five furlongs Novice Stakes is restricted to two-year-olds but in order to take part all the runners must meet certain conditions. Unlike a maiden, which is restricted to horses yet to record a victory, winning horses which have run in a maximum of six races are eligible to run. Weights are set according to sex before previous winners are allocated penalties depending on the level at which they have been successful.

This is a one mile and two furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 51 to 70 To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap In simple terms a horse rated 65 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 60

This is a one mile, four furlongs and 104 yards handicap race for three-year-olds which have been rated from 76 to 95 Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb.

This is a one mile handicap race for three-year-olds which have been rated from 76 to 95 Like most handicaps on the flat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is considered a disadvantage

The penultimate race today is a seven furlongs, 15 yards handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been officially rated 76-95. Like all handicaps on today’s card, this means that should a horse rated 95 take part they would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 90

6.45 THE SKY BET ACCA FREEZE HANDICAP STAKES

This is a five furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated 0 to 105. To qualify for a handicap rating in today’s final race, horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap

The EGS Biobank was set up in 2021, with funding from the British Horse Society.

It is a resource of data and samples from grass sickness cases to help research scientists investigate the disease. The answers to this devastating disease undoubtedly lie in these samples and data. Horse owners and vets can help in the following ways. Any one or more of these steps is a huge help, and we are forever grateful to all those who engage with the Biobank

1: Report your case anonymously at www.grasssickness.org.uk/biobank/ biobank-for-horse-owners/

2: Donate samples taken during diagnosis, eg bloods, urine, faeces, saliva. Free sample kits for vets – please make sure your vet keeps a stock

3: Donate tissue samples if your case is sadly fatal. We offer vets a flat fee towards this, so no extra cost to you or your vet.

You can visit us today at Musselburgh Racecourse opposite the parade ring. Kate, Anne and Jane will be on hand to answer any questions you may have about Equine Grass Sickness and the Biobank. Our life size model will be showcasing the internal structures of a horse.
