By Richard Wayman| British Horseracing Authority@ By Richard Wayman, BHA Director of Racing & BettingAt the beginning of 2024, we started a two-year trial of various fixture list initiatives with the overarching aim of increasing racing’s appeal to customers, both existing and new. The changes can be summarised under three main headings: – Create a more readily identifiable top end of the sport and make use of our biggest events to grow racing’s appeal. – Grow the value of Sundays through improved quality and creating a new fixture session.
