The Horserace Betting Levy Board (HBLB) has agreed funding of £10.5m in grants to support a wide range of projects and initiatives across British racing in 2026. This funding is in addition to the £97.7m already announced for prize money and the regulation and integrity of the sport. The non-fixture grant area supports a significant number of areas including the promotion of racing, people training, welfare and development initiatives, thoroughbred health, horse welfare and aftercare. HBLB runs annual funding rounds to support non-fixture related grant initiatives. Since 2000, £101.5m has been invested in these areas, including £44.3m for Industry People, Training and Recruitment, £22.6m for Marketing and Promotion, and £6.8m to support Point-to-Point Racing. Alan Delmonte, Chief Executive of HBLB, said: “Levy funding underpins a very substantial range of important activities across the sport, covering widespread projects to benefit the sport's promotion, its horses and its people. The Board is pleased to have been able to continue this significant investment and extend it into new areas for 2026.” The post Horserace Betting Levy Board Confirms £10.5m in Non-Fixture Related Grant Funding in 2026 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

He won’t be at Flemington this Saturday, but star miler Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars) is close to beginning his build up towards a racetrack return. Lindsay Park ruled the eight-year-old out of this year’s Autumn Carnival when they discovered a small chip in Mr Brightside’s left fore fetlock last December. Mr Brightside has contested the past four editions of the All-Star Mile, winning it in 2023 before finishing second the past two years. “He’s in great order,” said Ben Hayes, who trains Mr Brightside in partnership with his brothers Will and JD. “He is in the paddock currently and he’s just coming in now to get back on the water walker because we don’t want him to put on too much weight, he’s a very good doer. “He’s come through the surgery excellently, he looks a million dollars, and we look forward to seeing him in the spring.” Despite the absence of Mr Brightside, the Hayes brothers will take a strong team of 11 runners to Flemington on Saturday, highlighted by Evaporate (NZ) (Per Incanto) in the G1 All-Star Mile and War Machine (NZ) (Harry Angel) in the G1 Newmarket Handicap. “I thought his first-up run was very good,” Hayes said of Evaporate. “He wasn’t beaten very far, he’s a horse that generally improves into his preps, which he’s shown. He’s got barrier eight, so we’ve got to work out if we’re rolling forward or we’re slotting in yet, I haven’t really had a good chat to Luke (Currie), but I could not fault the horse, we’re really happy with him and think he’ll run a nice, competitive race.” Evaporate is at $16 with Sportsbet for the All-Star Mile. Hayes also believes that Stradbroke Handicap winner War Machine can bounce back to form in the Newmarket Handicap. “After his below par run at Pakenham, we freshened him up deliberately and were looking to target the Newmarket,” he said. “He’s had two jumpouts into it, and I thought his last jumpout in particular down the straight was very good, he was so strong through the line. He’s got a good straight record, one from one and I think it’s a track that really suits him. “He’s tightened up again and it wouldn’t surprise me if he can really shake the race as a genuine top three chance.” War Machine is at $12 for the Newmarket Handicap with Sportsbet.

The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has confirmed the permanent appointment of Brant Dunshea as Chief Executive Officer. Dunshea has been leading the BHA in an acting capacity since December 2024 following the departure of Julie Harrington. He has held several senior positions at British racing's governing and regulatory body since joining the organisation in March 2015, most recently as Chief Regulatory Officer prior to being appointed acting CEO. The BHA board has also approved the appointment of David Jones as Interim Chair. This follows the resignation of Lord Charles Allen on Tuesday 3 March. Jones assumes the role for a second time, having previously filled the position between Joe Saumarez Smith stepping down in January 2025 and Lord Allen formally joining the BHA in September of the same year. He was appointed to the BHA Board in January 2021 as Senior Independent Director, with extensive experience of British racing and the regulation of the sport, including as a BHA steward for more than a decade. Dunshea commented, “I am delighted to be appointed Chief Executive Officer of the BHA. It is no secret that the sport has experienced a challenging period as it faces up to the process of change at a governance level, but I want to be clear that this has not stopped the BHA and the industry making important progress to safeguard the long-term health of British racing. “The past year has seen growth in racecourse attendances, the success of the Axe The Racing Tax campaign, major initiatives to ensure more horses are raced and retained on our shores and continued improvements in horse and human welfare.” He added, “I know that the incredible team at the BHA shares my deep passion for our sport and is committed to securing a brighter and more sustainable future for our people and horses.It is a huge privilege to be given this opportunity to lead such a knowledgeable and dedicated team at a time of great opportunity for British racing.” The post Brant Dunshea Appointed BHA Chief Executive Officer appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

First up this week we have James Stormont on Lovable Rogue. Sitting pretty three deep the fence and comes off the fence at the 400m straight onto the back of the parked horse going backward. Runner behind him said thanks I will take the place instead. Terrible decision.
