  • British Horseracing Authority – Written Evidence (GAM0065)
    British Horseracing Authority – Written evidence (GAM0065) Introduction 1. The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) – the governing and regulatory body for thoroughbred horseracing in Great Britain – is delighted to respond to the House of Lords Select Committee Inquiry on the Social and Economic Impact of the Gambling industry. This response is being submitted by the BHA on behalf of the wider British racing industry incorporating our racecourses, licenced personnel (including trainers, jockeys and owners) and media rights holders. 2. British racing is the UK’s second largest sport behind football in respect of attendances, employment and revenues generated annually. In 2018, 5.77 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 – which are included on the Group A list of full live coverage protected events for FTA broadcast. 3. This translates into a significant economic benefit for the UK, with our industry generating £3.45 billion in direct, indirect and associated expenditure annually for the British economy. Much of this is focused in rural areas with over 20,000 people employed across our 59 licensed racecourses, hundreds of training yards and thousands of breeding operations – all of which play a key role in the life of the many hundreds of rural communities they operate in.

    Gold Cup Preview GOLD CUP PREVIEW Plenty of comparisons have already been made between Arkle and Best Mate, and they’re bound to become even more popular should the best staying chaser of the present day complete a hat-trick of Cheltenham Gold Cup victories in mid-March. Just for the record, the following paragraph from Chasers & Hurdlers 2002/3 may help to put into perspective just how good Arkle really was:- ‘In the 1965/6 season, Arkle ran four times before his third Cheltenham Gold Cup victory, starting off with a twenty-length win under 12-7 in the Gallaher Gold Cup at Sandown in November, setting a time record which still stands for the course and distance. Later that month, Arkle took his second successive Hennessy under 12-7, winning by fifteen lengths from Freddie who received 32 lb. Arkle made it three wins from three starts with victory by a distance in the King George VI Chase before again winning the Leopardstown Chase on his way to Cheltenham. Arkle conceded 42 lb to the second and third at Leopardstown; runner-up Height o’ Fashion, who went down by a neck, did most of her racing in Ireland but was worth a Timeform rating of 168+ whilst third-placed Splash, beaten a further fifteen lengths, had won the previous year’s Irish Grand National and earnt a Timeform rating of 157. Arkle gave them a 43 lb and 55 lb beating respectively and was 10/1-on when making it five out of five for the season when taking Best Mate jumps the second last in splendid isolation twelve month ago 1 Cheltenham Festival Issue the Gold Cup in a canter.

  • Keighley Hoping for a Good Forecast As Maximum Field Goes to Post in £150,000 Betfair Exchange Trophy Handicap Hurdle at Ascot on Saturday
    Betfair Media Release For immediate release, Thursday, December 21, 2018 Keighley hoping for a good Forecast as maximum field goes to post in £150,000 Betfair Exchange Trophy Handicap Hurdle at Ascot on Saturday The G3 Betfair Exchange Trophy Handicap Hurdle (3.35pm) takes place at Ascot this Saturday, December 22, day two of the Christmas Racing Weekend, and has attracted a maximum field of 21 runners. Each-way bettors can look forward to a festive treat with Betfair paying SIX places. Boasting a prize fund of £150,000, the two-mile contest is the second most valuable handicap hurdle run in Britain – only the £155,000 Betfair Hurdle at Newbury is worth more. Jolly’s Cracked It (Harry Fry/Noel Fehily, 11st 12lb) heads the weights as he chases a second victory in the Betfair Exchange Trophy Handicap Hurdle. The nine-year-old dead-heated with Sternrubin in 2015 but has been lightly-raced since. However, he showed he clearly retains plenty of ability when successful by six lengths over the course and distance in the Coutts Handicap Hurdle on November 23 and is the 6/1 favourite with Betfair. The regally-bred Forecast (Martin Keighley/Conor Shoemark, 10st 6lb, 18/1) is a full-brother to the 2008 G1 Sprint Cup heroine African Rose and also hails from the family of this year’s impressive G2 Coventry Stakes winner Calyx. Forecast joined Martin Keighley’s Gloucestershire yard in 2016, having previously been in France with Criquette Head-Maarek. Following wind surgery over the summer, Forecast has shown much improved form this season and was last seen out when recording a very impressive 15-length success in a handicap hurdle over just short of two and a half miles at Lingfield Park on November 13.
