What part of British horseracing are the British Horseracing Board Governors
looking to fund.
In response to the article in the Racing Post published on January 12th 2005
as reported by Howard Wright regarding the BHB failing to get their ‘Data
Rights’ in the European Court of Justice. And their alternative request to
Lord Donoughue “to propose an enforceable and sustainable mechanism for
betting operators to contribute to the funding of British racing in the future.”
This raises the question which part of British horseracing is looking to be
funded.
-
Is it the Racecourses ? Surely not because they can generate
extra income by raising entrance fees.
-
Could it be the owners ? Surely not because these are people
of independent means.
-
Could it be the trainers ? But can’t they increase their
training fees to cover any needs that they require.
-
Could it be the jockeys ? Of course not, as not only do they
get paid for every ride they also get a cut of the purse when successful.
This leaves four other areas:
-
The Jockey Club Regulators / The British Horseracing Board
Governors plus the Racecourse Holdings Trust the racecourses
the JC own
-
The Grass Root personnel all true professional grade A
status handler/riders who are the Engine Room of the industry. At
present there is a black hole where the Engine Room should be.
-
The Grass Root personnel all student/learner, handler/riders
aspiring to become professional. At present there is a black hole
instead of a thorough basic 2 year tuition programme for youngsters starting
out in their career.
-
The Grass Root personnel who have achieved the proposed
basic 2 year tuition programme qualify as status grade B. At present
there is a black hole, when what is needed is courses of further education,
in the various areas of specialist skill requirements.
Isn’t it time that the The British Horseracing Board Governors / Jockey
Club Regulators came clean on this matter.

Is there a CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD OR MISLEAD against the British Jockey Club
Regulators over four decades of licensing trainers without paying due care &
attention to all the personnel who go to make up each trainer's team?
