  • Smullen: Humbled by Racing=S Support
    WEDNESDAY, 11 SEPTEMBER 2019 SMULLEN: HUMBLED BY FIRST ,50,000 SALE BENCHMARKS AUCTION'S PROGRESS by Chris McGrath RACING=S SUPPORT ASCOT, UK--Which would you rather have: the colt who topped the opening session at Keeneland the previous day, or all 127 animals who found a new home at Ascot yesterday? You could have corralled the whole herd of them for less. But the beauty with Thoroughbreds, of course, is that each and every individual that changed hands at the Tattersalls Ascot Yearling Sale--for an aggregate ,1,356,850, up 24% in only the third year of the auction--retains the right to prove their relative valuation all wrong, once broken and sent in training. After all, that's exactly what happened with several graduates of last year's sale. Besides the four fillies who have won listed races, they also included a ,28,000 colt beaten just a neck in the G2 Norfolk S. over the road at the Royal meeting; and, one of the fairytales of the season, the ,3,000 filly Bettys Hope (GB) (Anjaal {GB}), who completed a hat-trick for Rod Millman when scooping a ,122,925 pot in the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury in July.

  • 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.
