@BHAHorseracing Did you set-up a direct debit for JP McManus? Will save you some admin burden.

@RacingPost The root cause analysis for the underlying reason for the drop takes around three minutes to complete by anyone remotely familiar with racing; Prize Money.

Foal crops dropped by 9.5 per cent in Britain and Ireland last year and Tattersalls believes there is cause for concern racingpost.com/news/britain/f…

Raven's Lady has bred another smart colt, Mr Lope Cen has classic entries and wins impressively on debut. Raven's Lady trained by @MarcoBotti for @hotsr won the G2 "Golden Whip" at Baden-Baden @DeutscherGalopp

@Tom_MBS Magnum Classic

Name suggestions for 3yo Masar x Tongue Twista

@byronrogers73 Maybe that would work if vendors posted MRI scans and VO2 max measurements. I maintain that looking at a horse stand or walk is only good for reducing the risk of buying a very poor athlete.

So you’re telling me I can have it land on a yearling sales page, read the catalog page, look at the conformation image and the entire walk video and then ask it to learn the difference between elite and non-elite racehorses based on what they subsequently did on the track?

@nickluck It's like trying to stop a head on collision by adjusting the mirror so you can see out of the rear window more clearly. Maybe it's not a bad idea, but it's so far down the priority list that any improvement would be negligible.

Having other ideas/solutions/suggestions that you might prefer doesn't make this a bad one

@jamesaknight What's a bigger problem for GB racing currently? 1) the best horses are trained in Ire 2) British bred foal crop is declining at 5%-10% & the decline is accelerating? Granted, the BHA can work on resolving multiple things at once, but there is no visible action on key issues.

People shouldn't view every BHA initiative through the prism of 'are they fixing every problem in the entire game with this'?. UK NH racing currently has a real problem re the lack of stars coming through and racing here, hence 4 runner Kingwells and dire Xmas hurdles etc. This initiative might encourage some of the A list owners in the game to base more of their talent in the UK. It's a smart move.

@BHAHorseracing @RacehorseOwners @NTFnews @LevyBoard • Develop a race transportation subsidy for each horse, i.e. copying the France Galop process. If you would like me to help generate ideas on how to better support owners, then please feel free to contact me directly. 3/3

@BHAHorseracing @RacehorseOwners @NTFnews @LevyBoard • Reduce or eliminate racing partnership formation admin fee • Reduce or eliminate racing syndicate admin fee • Contribute towards or replace race entry fee of novice or conditions races • Increase prize money of class 5/4 novice races in line with increased input costs 2/3

The BHA has introduced a new Training Fees Credit Scheme that will see winning and runner-up owners in Grade 1 Chase and Hurdle races in March and April receive credits to be redeemed against the training fees of a new British-trained horse. Full details: britishhorseracing.com/press_releases…

@BHAHorseracing @RacehorseOwners @LevyBoard Gross administrative negligence. An unbelievably myopic policy.

@SophiexJane @MurrrrMurray They're grifting in an attempt to get funding for an exploratory study, even if they know the development will likely never get planning approval, the environmental impact studies can be very lucrative. It's pure deception and fraud.

@MurrrrMurray And in the Newmarket Journal Article they're sighted as 'London Based Developers" and unsurprisingly, they're absolutely developers. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck..

Man plots building a city over 45,000 acres of countryside, claims he's not a developer. Wonders why people are against it.

@mindmodeller @CheltenhamRaces The other factor at play is the majority of "racing media" being unwilling to discuss this topic in detail because much of their income is derived from advertising paid for by bookmakers. Despite the fact they are themselves locked in the downward spiral of decline.

Lord Allen’s departure should not obscure the deeper pathology. British racing suffers from a systematic, structurally embedded refusal to allow those who fund it, work in it, bet on it and love it to see how it operates and whose interests it serves. @CheltenhamRaces @FinalFurlongPod @FT @RadioEmmet @itvracing @RishiPersad1 cuttingcomment.com/through-a-glas…

@carlabowers2307 Best of luck to you and Graham 🤞

@GregSaveall The best news :)

A quick catch up as we enter day 5 here in dubai ❤️

@GregSaveall Did becca get home ok :)

@nancygsexton Are you in goal here Nancy? ⚽

Making good use of the infield at the Meydan training track today 🇦🇪

This would suggest that there are no or very weak contractual obligations for members to remain part of the RCA. What have they been waiting for? Leave, align with the Jockey Club and force ARC and the bookmakers to get lost.

@BHAHorseracing Gross administrative negligence. Please consider a path to dissolve all boards voting power, an independent governing body should only consider the views of their stakeholders, not be tied and blocked by their stakeholders voting in their own vested interests.

BHA statement on Lord Allen: britishhorseracing.com/press_releases…

“Jumps bred” wins well contested flat novice by 9.5 lengths. One wonders what might happen if more “jumps bred” contested flat novices as a result? Would we come to realise the division between flat & jumps breeding was completely arbitrary? They’re all just racehorses?! Hmm …
