A Warm Welcome to Kelso Racecourse

WE’VE MISSED YOU …… There is a character, played by Peter Gallagher, in the 1995 film While You Were Sleeping, who misses all the action having fallen into a coma. He wakes up to discover that, while he’s been unconscious, Sandra Bullock has been waiting by his bedside, fallen in love with him, fallen back out of love with him and is now marrying his brother. It’s easy to understand why the character might have felt a bit miffed, in a similar way to a Kelso Annual Member who’s been obliged to miss almost an entire season of racegoing. While we know that many regular racegoers have been enjoying the action on television, it’s not quite the same as seeing all your friends at the races. At least, it certainly hasn’t been for us. We have missed you while you’ve been away and we are really delighted to be able to welcome Annual Members back to the races today. There’s plenty to catch up on. What follows is a brief summary of what happened ‘while you were sleeping’.

Lockdown Projects In contrast to this year’s long, cold, wet Spring, the weather for the first few months of lockdown was glorious. For the first three weeks of enforced home-sitting we enjoyed warm sunny day after warm sunny day. Our gardens never received so much attention. But most of the racecourse staff never really wanted to stay at home and, although there wasn’t actually a fight to decide which member of the grounds-team could stay and cut the grass, everyone was just a little bit envious of Connor’s seat on the mower. Following the announcement that the first period of lockdown would be extended beyond mid-April, the entire grounds-team came back to work, initially just for a week, as the track was bone dry and desperately needed irrigation. It was immediately apparent that everyone was happier to be working in the open air, as opposed to sitting at home, so we quickly found more jobs to do. We were concerned about the impact that economic paralysis would have on local businesses too, so we decided to do everything we could to keep local tradesmen employed. Having been awarded a SOSE grant from the Pivotal Enterprise Resilience Fund, we pressed ahead with improvement projects including changes to enable the jockeys and officials to return safely to racing. Those who haven’t visited the racecourse for a year will notice a fresh look. Almost the entire site has been painted from top to bottom, the darker shade of racing green being replaced with a paler green which those of you familiar with the Farrow & Ball paint chart will know as French grey. The Charity Tea Room and Viewing Boxes have been given fresh white cladding. There are new roofs, notably on the Hamilton Room, Doody Room and Cunningham Room, where we recently discovered that it was raining inside. We’ve laid smooth tarmac surfaces, to allow racegoers to spread out when larger crowds are permitted, and we’ve planted lots of trees and hedging too. It’s a small team here at the racecourse and since the turn of the year we’ve been operating without one of our key players. Head Groundsman Brian Meikle, who commands the

That’s right. Despite all the Festival Trial Weekends – from Cheltenham in January, to The Lowflyers Syndicate, formed entirely by Kelso Annual Members and including Newbury in February, from Ascot to Ayr or from Musselburgh to Market Rasen – Kelso Directors Jane Millar and Richard Landale, enjoyed a Hexham win with Shanroe Street was the only racecourse to produce two Cheltenham winners: Vintage Clouds (trained who followed up with a placed effort at Kelso’s first May meeting. Shanroe Street is by Sue Smith in Yorkshire) and The Shunter trained by Emmet Mullins – obviously trained by Lucinda Russell who has supplied a long list of winners for the Syndicate from Ireland. which remains open to new members and costs only £500 a year to join. We could probably write a whole book about The Shunter, but you already know the Despite the competitive nature of the racecourse Directors, we do occasionally allow story - he landed Kelso’s £100,000 bonus after winning the bet365 Morebattle Hurdle other racehorse owners to win prize money at Kelso and we have tried our hardest to by following up in the two-and-a-half mile handicap chase at the Cheltenham Festival. maintain meaningful prize funds despite losing more than a million pounds in revenue Remarkably, he then went on to be placed at both the Aintree and Punchestown as a result of the pandemic.

The reason is simple: Kelso racecourse is run by racing people for the benefit of “Yeah, but they all think that.” I replied, racing people. “There’s a hundred grand bonus – It’s been an odd season, but we are delighted that we can to celebrate this final day everyone thinks they’re going to win it.” with you.

Tipperary the jockey was banned for As it is, we’ll be back in September with as good a programme, if not better, than three weeks, the horse for two months ever before. and the trainer fined 6,000 euros…” Looking back it’s all in the form book, as is the fact that he’d won the Greatwood Hurdle at Cheltenham in November. I don’t know why we weren’t all on him; maybe you were? But after winning here I was told by one experienced trainer that the bonus JONATHAN GARRATT was completely safe – there was no way on earth that any horse was going to win two Managing Director competitive handicaps within the space of two weeks, never mind having taken another major handicap earlier in the season. “If anything,” observed The Shunter’s owner Paul Byrne, “His win at Cheltenham was a lot easier than winning at Kelso.” Which, for anyone looking for horses to follow next season, is a great compliment to the David Pipe trained Night Edition.

Private Meetings The listed grandstand at Kelso was built in 1822 during an age when the Duke of Roxburghe would have invited house guests to come and enjoy the racing, many of them bringing their own horses with them to race. Behind closed doors, with no spectators present, many of this season’s racemeetings have felt like the private affairs of days-gone-by. All six non-executive directors of Kelso Races Ltd have been represented on the track during the last few months, with a remarkable degree of success. Damien’s Dilemma and Dancewiththewind were the first to strike, for Robert Miller-Bakewell and
