海角大神 (BHA) today published British Horseracing鈥檚 Fact Book 2011/12. The Book provides an invaluable and informative guide to the key statistics from across the Racing Industry, together with trends for the last five years.
The Fact Book can be found online at stage.britishhorseracing.com/fact-book/.
Paul Roy, Chairman of the BHA, said:
鈥淲e hope that the Fact Book serves the dual purpose of being not only a valuable Industry resource, but also as an illustration of both the strengths and challenges facing British Racing.
鈥淭he Fact Book highlights that British Racing continues to stage some of the world鈥檚 finest racing, with many of the world鈥檚 best racehorses either being bred, trained or racing on these shores, while attendances at British racecourses continue to go from strength to record strength.
鈥淣ever is this more apparent than in the context of a sold-out QIPCO British Champions Day, which promises to attract yet again the world鈥檚 finest equine stars to our new showcase end of season finale.
鈥淗owever, at the same time many of our underlying indicators have slipped back significantly from recent peaks. The BHA and all within Racing are committed to addressing these issues and providing the sport with a firmer financial footing. This includes the forging of new partnerships both within the sport and with our core customers, including the Betting Industry.鈥
