Chepstow recap: Yesterday’s action and key winners

Chepstow served up a competitive card yesterday on a surface described as GOOD on the chase course and GOOD TO SOFT (soft in places) on the hurdles. Eight races produced eight different winners, with Joe Tizzard’s Gingerbred and Paul Nicholls’s New Rules among the most eye-catching performances. There were a number of incidents to note — several fallers and a handful of pulled-up runners — but the day belonged to clear, authoritative wins from the likes of St James’s Finest, A Sight To Sea and Sage Green.

Key moments

Gingerbred (12:20) took the Lords Taverners Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Chase by about five lengths after taking command approaching the home turn. New Rules (12:51) led late in the maiden hurdle and held off Red Acres Max. Dan Skelton enjoyed a productive afternoon: Harry Skelton partnered both St James’s Finest and A Sight To Sea to comfortable victories in the two divisions of the LSL Racing maiden hurdles. In the big-field DragonBet Handicap Chase Sage Green produced a determined finish to take the prize, while Don’t Panic won the Dunraven Open NH Flat Race having been ridden to lead inside the final furlong.

Incidents and non-runners

There were several incidents of note: Annie Express, Plan De Stan, Mr McWhinny and Rangatira Jack were among the fallers during the card. A number of horses were withdrawn or declared non-runners on veterinary or self-certification grounds (eg Desertmore News, Secret Jet Away, Diligent Militia, Can’t Resist It). Others were pulled up after showing signs of being unsuited by the conditions or after costly mistakes (Ballynaheer, Petit Galet, The Two Four, Karton Plein, L’Empire Vert, Moorefields, Jacksbar, Midnight Pass, The Padster).

Overall it was a day that rewarded horses who handled the patchy surface and jumped fluently; connections will be pleased with the decisive winners and will no doubt plan targets for the rest of the autumn and winter schedule.

Chepstow Race Results

Chepstow stages around 30 meetings per year with top quality jump racing during the winter and competitive flat racing in the summer. The Welsh Grand National over three miles six and a half furlongs in late December is the highlight of Chepstow’s year, one of the most prestigious staying handicap chases of the season.

The Welsh Grand National meeting traditionally takes place on 27th December and is often a target for Aintree Grand National horses. The last horse to win both races in their career was Silver Birch who won here in 2004 and at Aintree in 2007. It has also featured numerous Cheltenham Gold Cup contenders with Burrough Hill Lad (1983), Cool Ground (1990), Master Oats (1994), Synchronized (2010) and Native River (2016) all going on to win chasing’s blue riband event.

The December meeting also features the Grade 2 Finale Juvenile Hurdle, an important trial for the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham. The three-day Welsh Racing Festival in October opens the jumps season and features the Grade 2 Persian War Novices’ Hurdle, the Silver Trophy (a Premier Handicap hurdle) and the Welsh Champion Hurdle.

Racecourse Guide

Chepstow is one of only three racecourses in Wales with jump racing held at Bangor-on-Dee while Ffos Las hosts both flat and jump meetings. Chepstow is a left handed oval track of almost two miles. It is very undulating and has a long run-in after jumping the last.

The fences are among the most inviting in the UK but the ground can get extremely heavy so the emphasis is usually on stamina at Chepstow. There are five fences in a long home straight and horses can struggle to finish if they are under pressure turning for home.

Chepstow also has a summer flat programme and there is a chute to provide a straight mile. The uneven nature of the track and daunting home straight means this track favours long striding horses rather than sharper, front running types.

Dining, Hospitality & Facilities

Chepstow has a fine range of hospitality packages to enhance your day’s racing. The View Restaurant is glass fronted and situated on the first floor of the Premier Stand. As the name suggests, there are stunning panoramic views across the racecourse.

Private boxes offer unrivalled hospitality with your own personal suite. These come with a dedicated host, mouth-watering buffet and access to all public areas. There are special balcony packages available on selected race days. There are also themed marquee packages available which are updated year-round.

Chepstow is in Monmouthshire in south-east Wales and Chepstow Station is on the Gloucester to Newport Line. There are regular trains to Chepstow from Birmingham, Cardiff, Newport and Gloucester. A shuttle bus operates to and from the racecourse on race days.

Tickets

You can book your Chepstow admission tickets in advance online. Your basic admission ticket includes access to public bars and eateries as well as the parade ring. There are two enclosures: the Grandstand & Paddock Enclosure, with a viewing grandstand overlooking the track and parade ring, and the Premier Enclosure, which adds superb views from the Premier Grandstand and full access to all public areas. Groups of 10 or more who book together can get discounted group rates.

The Effect of the Draw

A high draw is favoured over the straight mile, especially on fast ground. There is no draw bias on the round course.
