BHA freezes fees and launches new joint venture to reduce costs for the sport

The BHA is freezing administration fees for participants and racecourses next year having cut its costs by more than £2 million in 2020, and is looking to reduce costs further through a new joint venture with Weatherbys.

Racing Digital is a three-year project designed to create a new digital platform for administering racing and reduce the cost of running the sport.

However, the sport will have to return a seven-figure sum owed to a number of bookmakers as part of the authorised betting partner (ABP) agreements signed in 2016.
