Following the British Horseracing Authority’s update this week regarding racecourse biosecurity protocols, ARC and ARO can confirm the postponement of Arabian races scheduled for 25 May at Windsor and 1 June at Lingfield Park.
Currently, only horses from BHA licenced training yards are permitted to enter racecourse property on a raceday. Whilst a number of Arabian horses are stabled within BHA licenced training yards, some are not. Therefore, as a precautionary measure and following discussion with the BHA, the races above will not go ahead as scheduled.
ARC and ARO will continue to engage with the BHA with regards to races scheduled beyond 1 June and the rearrangement of the two postponed races at Windsor and Lingfield Park.
