  • Written Evidence Submitted by the British Horseracing Authority
    Written evidence submitted by the British Horseracing Authority Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee inquiry into impact of Covid-19 on DCMS sectors Introduction 1. The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) – the governing and regulatory body for thoroughbred horseracing in Great Britain – welcomes the opportunity to respond to this inquiry into the impact of Covid-19 on DCMS sectors. This is an unprecedented crisis which is impacting every industry in the British economy and DCMS sectors. However, there are unique and specific challenges which our industry, working with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and other Government departments, is facing in the short and medium term. 2. British racing is the UK’s second largest sport behind football in respect of attendances, employment and revenues generated annually. In 2019, 5.62 million people attended over 1,500 individual race meetings held across England, Scotland and Wales. Our largest events are not only highlights in the increasingly competitive international racing calendar, but also the UK sporting and social calendar. British Racing’s cultural significance is demonstrated by the fact that ours is the only sport which has two annual nationwide events – the Grand National and The Derby –included on the Group A list of full live coverage protected events for FTA broadcast. The sport’s popularity has also once again been recently demonstrated with ITV Racing’s coverage of the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on 6 June attracting an audience of 1.5 million viewers. 3. This translates into a significant economic benefit for the UK, with our industry generating £4.1 billion in direct, indirect and associated expenditure annually for the British economy.

  • RACECOURSE NAME Category
    AINTREE RACECOURSE All About The Horse Promoting Horse Welfare At The Grand National Meeting Objectives Negative press coverage and public concern over horse welfare following the 2011 Grand National meeting prompted a joint review of the meeting by Aintree and the BHA. The Winner Ballabriggs was visibly exhausted following the race and his jockey dismounted just after the winning post leaving an exhausted looking horse to be cooled down in front of racegoers before not returning to the Winner’s Enclosure. The jockey also received a much publicised whip ban. This post race confusion left it difficult to communicate what was happening to the public in attendance and watching on TV. A 30 point plan was identified to improve welfare provisions for horses both prior to and following races and to promote a positive welfare message to a list of stakeholders. Working with the BHA, the 30 point Review highlighted: • The requirement for better post race care of horses and procedures • The need to change current unsaddling arrangements and remove working media from the pull-up area (exclusion BBC/RUK) • Greater emphasis on decision making between Aintree and the BHA to remove the pre-race parade • Greater requirement to change processes on racedays to aid welfare • Greater communication between stakeholders and the public • The opportunity to educate the public about high standards of welfare in racing and at the course. Delivery Photographers were briefed as to a no-go zone following the Grand Tangible Changes National to ease horse flow following the race. • Over £250,000 was invested in greater watering capabilities on the Grand National course to fence 6 to Additional Changes assist producing ground no faster than • Greater control was given to the good and; racecourse to change pre-race procedures and make on-the-day decisions dependant on weather.
