The British Horseracing Authority (BHA), founded in 2007, is the privately owned governing body for horse racing in Great Britain. Employing approximately 210 people and headquartered in the UK, the BHA's primary function is the regulation and oversight of the sport of horse racing as a spectator activity.
On Friday, following four days of deliberation, an independent disciplinary panel found that the British Horseracing Authority had breached rules. The panel determined that a ruling had been made based on false information provided by Honour regarding a conversation with Kitts, a conditional jockey, about a horse. However, the panel ruled Honour had no involvement in a conspiracy. Separately, the Government is considering increasing the tax on horseracing betting from 15% to 21%, a move the British Horseracing Authority warned could result in a £66 million annual loss to the sport, impacting sponsorship, media rights, and potentially thousands of jobs. Economic analysis supports the industry's concerns, indicating a disproportionate impact from the proposed tax increase. In response, the UK horseracing industry is planning a strike on September 10th to protest the proposed gambling tax harmonization.
