4. Fill in the missing !gures
a) 1 kilogram = ...... grams c) 1 pound = ...... ounces
b) 1 stone = ...... pounds
The comparisons below help jockeys to convert their weight from one system to the other .
1 kilogram = 2 .2 pounds 450 grams = 1 pound
5. Use the !gures/conversions above to answer these questions. a) How many pounds are there in 2 kilograms?
...... b) How many grams are there in 2 pounds?
...... The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) is the Government recognised body 6. You might be given the chance to see how much you weigh. responsible for the regulation of horseracing. Before you do this note down your estimation below:

3 7. There are two types of Horseracing in the UK, National Hunt (Jump) racing and Flat racing. See if you can !nd out which of these famous horse races are Jump or Flat races. In horse years, a two year old horse is the equivalent to a The Aintree Grand National Jump Flat teenage human being. The Epsom Derby Jump Flat Research shows that starting The Doncaster St Leger Jump Flat training racehorses before The Cheltenham Gold Cup Jump Flat the age of two is not harmful. Quite the opposite in fact – it has been proven that controlled 8.

11. Why do "at jockeys have to be lighter than jump jockeys?
......
12. Put a tick against the statements below which you think are true.
a) In some races the horses are different ages, so they put a lighter weight on the younger horses to help them b) Because some horses are better at racing than others, they put more weight on the faster ones to slow them down and less weight on the slower ones to speed them up . c) When the female horses race against the males they sometimes give the females less weight to carry to help them

Inspectors of Courses are Water Open Plain employed by the BHA to Hurdle check the racecourse at the Jump Ditch Fence start of every season to make sure that everything is safe for racing.
Racecourse fences are built to speci!c guidelines to make sure they are as safe as possible.
The ground-line on fences and hurdles is bright orange to help the horse to see the bottom of the obstacle more clearly; this helps the horse know where to take off.

10 Handicapping Horses
Above: Imagine how much In the Weighing Room you discovered that different horses may carry different weights more slowly you would run in a race. One of the reasons for this is the ‘Handicapping’ system. There are many types carrying someone on your back. of races, but in a Handicap race we try to give every horse a fair chance of winning.
The Handicapper’s job is to watch every horse in every race and see how well it performs. The Handicapper then has to decide whether next time each horse races it should carry more weight, or less weight.
The aim is for all of the horses to reach the winning post at the same time. A close !nish makes the racing more exciting to watch and also makes it harder to pick the winner. So normally a horse that wins has to carry more weight next time to slow them down!
Although the Handicappers take a lot of factors into consideration, we are going to use the theory that adding one pound of weight to a horse in a race will slow it down by one horse’s length.
One length Remember as a guide 1 pound = 1 length
11 Your Task You are going to take the role of the ofcial Handicapper.
Look at the results of the race below. Look carefully at how much weight each horse carried and the distance he was beaten by (eg 1 length, 2 lengths etc).
You need to work out how much weight each horse should carry in their next race. Remember, the aim is to bring all of the horses to the winning post at the same time. To help you, the rst horse’s new weight has already been put in for you.
Tip: You need to subtract 1lb of weight for each length that each horse nishes behind the winner. The distances are cumulative. For example, Paxford Jack was beaten by 3 lengths and Drama King was another 1 length behind him. Therefore you need to subtract a total of 4 lengths to reach the right weight for Drama King.

12 Would you like to work in the racing industry?
Whether you want to work directly with horses or not, racing offers a wide range of job opportunities, with excellent training and support to help you progress along your career path.
Stable Staff Stable Staff (grooms) work in racing yards looking after the racehorses and riding them every day. The racing industry offers free training courses for stable staff at the British Racing School (www.brs.org.uk ) and the Northern Racing College www.northernracingcollege.co.uk ).
Stud Staff Stud Staff work at stud farms and look after the mares, foals and stallions which are used to breed the next generation of racehorses. Information on training to work in a thoroughbred stud can be found at www.nationalstud.co.uk .
By continuing your training with one of these registered training providers when you leave school you will be satisfying the new Government requirements to stay in education or training until you are 18.
Stable Staff each have between three and !ve Once you’ve have gained experience there is the opportunity to progress to senior roles with racehorses to look after more responsibility, managing a team of staff, travelling racehorses or assisting the trainer. every day, making sure that they are clean, healthy, exercised and well fed. Travelling Stable Staff Travelling Stable Staff are responsible for looking after the horses when they go racing, from Regular visits are made to the yard by equine professionals getting them ready to travel, supervising them on the journey through to taking responsibility for such as the vet, farrier, their welfare whilst they are away. This can involve overseas travel to countries such as France, dentist and physiotherapist/ chiropractor, to look after the Germany , Dubai, the United States and even Australia and is a great opportunity for those who horses’ routine care. want to broaden their experience and see the world.
13 Jockey A jockey is someone who rides horses in races. Unless you already have experience the rst step to becoming a jockey is usually to start as a member of stable staff. Those with necessary skills may then move into a role as apprentice/conditional jockey and go on to gain a full The very best veterinary care professional licence. is provided for our racehorses.

The trainer may have an Assistant Trainer to help him/her. The safety standards British Racing sets for itself far exceed existing national Racing Secretary/Stud Secretary animal welfare legislation. The secretary in a racing yard or in a stud (where racehorses are bred) assists the trainer or stud manager by completing all the necessary administration to do with running the business.
Wider roles For those of you who don’t want to work directly with horses there are many roles available working at racecourses, including practical roles for Groundstaff who are responsible for the maintenance of the racetrack and fences, through to Hospitality , Catering , Sales , PR and Communications , Administration , Marketing and Management .
For those who plan to go to university, the British Horseracing Authority has an exciting and well- established Graduate Programme which sees around 20 graduates a year go through a two week programme followed by placements in the industry. Around 80% of the graduates attending this programme go on to work in the industry, a number progressing to some of the top jobs.

18 Planning a diet
A top athlete like a jockey would not be able to perform to the best of their ability if they were eating the wrong foods.
It is particularly dif!cult for jockeys, compared with many other athletes, as they need to keep their weight under control in order to be able to secure as many rides as possible – and hopefully win lots of races.
A top jockey like Tony McCoy has to keep to a very strict balanced diet to keep his weight down as well as staying !t and healthy. Above: Pupils busy counting calories. Other athletes like footballers also need to think carefully about their diets in order to be !t and healthy, as indeed you do, in order to perform as well as you can at school.
This diagram shows what a balanced daily consumption of the main food groups should look like.
Fruit & Bread, other cereals vegetables & potatoes
Meat, sh & alternatives Milk & dairy products Foods containing fat & Foods containing sugar

24 Racing Colours
Above: Did you know that Above: Pony Racing at the home of Jump racing, Cheltenham Racecourse children as young as 9 years old race ponies? The photo above shows Pony Racing which takes place throughout the country for children and young people between 9 and 15 years of age. Even if you don’t own a pony you could still become involved. Visit www.pra.gb.com to see how.
During pony and horse races the jockeys wear colourful jackets and hats. These are called jockeys’ silks or racing colours. Every racehorse owner has their own set of unique racing colours. It helps them to spot where their horse is in a race. The owners can decide what design and colours they would like, then they have to register them with a company called ‘Weatherbys’. This is to make sure that that no two owners have exactly the same designs.
1. You will notice that most designs are symmetrical. What does this mean?
......
2. Draw the other half of the patterns on the designs opposite to make them symmetrical, then colour them in .
Your Task 3. Imagine that you are going to take part in a pony race and need to design your own silks and register them with the Pony Racing Authority.
