The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority has established a Racing Office Advisory Group comprised of senior racing officials from racetracks across the country, the organization announced Wednesday. The group will provide feedback to HISA's executive team and Standing Committees on rules, processes and operational practices affecting Thoroughbred racing officials nationwide. “Racing offices are integral to the successful implementation of HISA safety and integrity rules,” said HISA Director of Racetrack Safety Ann McGovern. “By establishing this group, we are making a direct channel available for racing office professionals to share their expertise. We are very fortunate to have some of the industry's most experienced professionals collaborating with us.” Inaugural members of the Racing Office Advisory Group are: Amber Carlisle, the Senior Manager of Racing Operations at Canterbury Park, where she also serves as Assistant Racing Secretary; Keith Doleshel, the Senior Director of Racing for the New York Racing Association; Jason Egan, the Director of Racing and Racing Secretary at Santa Anita Park; Georganne Hale, the Senior Vice President of Racing at the Maryland Jockey Club; Rick Hammerle, who currently serves as Director of Racing at Kentucky Downs, while consulting for 1/ST Racing; Eric Johnston, Director of Racing at Penn National Race Course; Mike Lakow, Vice President of Racing Operations at Gulfstream Park; John Lies, who oversees racing operations as Racing Secretary at Will Rogers Downs and Fair Meadows in Tulsa, while also calling races and setting morning line odds for multiple tracks; Tyler Picklesimer, the Director of Racing and Racing Secretary at Turfway Park and Kentucky Downs; and Jillian Tullock, Racing Secretary for the Maryland Jockey Club. The Racing Office Advisory Group will meet monthly and maintain an on-call advisory role to provide feedback on HISA rules and any racing office related issues.

Premier Racedays will be cut by more than two-thirds in 2026, with the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) conceding that dilution of the original concept had lessened its anticipated impact. The idea was initially introduced in 2024 as a two-year pilot, with 170 fixtures designated as Premier Racedays which met certain criteria around prize-money and quality and were intended to showcase the very best of the calendar. A total of 162 Premier Racedays were scheduled for 2025, but next year will see just 52, focused on British racing's showpiece occasions. The protected two-hour window that was employed during the trial period, which limited action at other tracks, will be discontinued, in favour of gaps of at least 10 minutes around the major races on Saturday afternoons. Richard Wayman, the BHA's director of operations, said, “We wanted to make our best racing better and use that as our tool to grow interest in the sport. Part of that was making the racing as good as we could, so we invested in the racing and we have seen a real upside on that. “Prize-money on Premier Racedays in 2024 was over £7 million higher than it had been the previous year at those same fixtures, with another half a million this year, so in terms of actually supporting the quality and competitiveness of racing, making the sport at those meetings better, I think the policy has delivered.” He added, “Where clearly it has not done what we talked about two years ago was from a customer perspective, creating that brand around Premier Racedays that I think for a number of reasons didn't work. “I think one of the biggest reasons was that there were simply too many of them and it therefore diluted the message that these are genuinely elite fixtures – consumers just didn't buy that. I think moving to the 52 from 162 is a step in the right direction.” In a media briefing, Wayman confirmed that there are no plans for a marketing campaign for Premier Racedays in 2026, describing it as “a bridge” between the trial and the 2027 fixture list, which will be informed by evidence from ongoing consumer research. A total of 1,458 meetings (down from 1,460 in 2025) have been scheduled for next year, with the BHA employing measures that aim to increase the number of horses based and being raced in Britain, as well as enhancing the quality of those runners, supported by an additional £4.4 million in prize-money. The G1 July Cup, G1 King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes, G1 Sussex Stakes and G1 Juddmonte International will all get at least a £200,000 boost in 2026, while funds for developmental races will be increased, imposing minimum values for novice or maiden races on the Flat, plus added incentives for staying races. Novice and beginners' chases and maiden and novice hurdles will also have a baseline prize fund, while a bonus series for point-to-point horses is set to be introduced, with the aim of strengthening the supply of quality horses from that division to race under Rules. While the BHA continues its drive to improve competitiveness and reinforce Sunday racing, it has also made moves to try to mitigate the demands on those working in the industry, with a six-day pause (April 26 – May 1) and a 19-day break (July 27 – August 4) in National Hunt racing. The Flat action will stop on November 8-15, with rider-restricted meetings scheduled for November 16-18 and for five days in mid-winter (February 16-20). Other initiatives include a trial of 8pm finishes for all-weather meetings in the first nine weeks of the year.

Cable Bay, the sire of this year's G1 July Cup winner No Half Measures, has died at the age of 14. “With profound sadness, we inform you that Cable Bay, the sire of the 2025 July Cup, Gr1 winner No Half Measures, as well as several individual black-type winners and performers, passed away last night,” read a statement posted to social media by the Northern Lights Stallion Syndicate, which brought the son of Invincible Spirit to India to continue his stallion career in 2023. “In the three years with us, he has given us quality foals and we hope that they can carry forward his legacy.” Bred by the Irish National Stud, Cable Bay was a three-time winner for the Charlie Hills yard, after being bought for €130,000 at the Goffs Orby Yearling Sale. Successful in the G2 Challenge Stakes and G3 John Of Gaunt Stakes, he was also Group 1-placed as a two-year-old when filling the runner-up spot behind War Command in the Dewhurst Stakes. Cable Bay was based at Highclere Stud between 2016 and 2022, before his transfer to Dr Kehar Singh Stud in India. In 2019, his first crop yielded 25 individual two-year-old winners in Europe, including the G3 Molecomb Stakes heroine Liberty Beach and Weatherbys Racing Bank £300,000 2-Y-O Stakes scorer King's Lynn. That duo later won successive editions of the G2 Temple Stakes, with Liberty Beach striking at Haydock in 2021, before the victory of King's Lynn the following year. The multiple Group 1-placed Dragon Symbol and G2 Hungerford Stakes runner-up Laneqash feature among Cable Bay's other leading progeny in Europe, while Uncommon James was his sire's breakthrough Group 1 winner when landing the 2023 Oakleigh Plate. He was conceived during the stallion's time shuttling to Woodside Park Stud in Australia.
