British Horseracing Authority, also known as BHA, is a privately owned entity based in the UK. Founded in 2007, it employs approximately 210 individuals. Its main product is spectator sports. The organization operates as a tier 1 media tech buyer, functioning as the national governing body for horse racing in Great Britain.
The British Horseracing Authority's Director of Racing, Richard Wayman, on August 27, 2026, detailed the policies guiding the composition of the forthcoming 2027 fixture list, expressing hopes it will support British racing’s growth agenda. Previously, on August 4, the BHA confirmed the transfer of the fixture scheduled for Bath on Saturday, August 15, to Lingfield Park, which will now run on the All-Weather surface with the race program unaltered. This decision came after approval from the BHA Inspectorate due to a long-term forecast of dry weather and the condition of the Bath track. Concurrently on August 4, BHA Head of Sustainability Katie Carr provided an update on actions to make the industry more environmentally sustainable, following recent heatwaves that highlighted racing’s resilience. Earlier, on July 29, Simon Cox was appointed as the new chair of the British Horseracing Authority. Cox brings racing and commercial experience, having served as a trustee of the Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association since November 2021 and also chairs the BHA’s Jump Pattern Committee. This followed the BHA's July 27 confirmation of a surface transfer from turf to All-Weather for Lingfield Park fixtures on August 8 and August 11, which was approved by the BHA Inspectorate due to forecast dry weather and the racecourse's ability to suitably water the track.
