The British Horseracing Authority ("BHA") is the governing and regulatory body for British
horseracing, which seeks to ensure the effective regulation, integrity and success of the sport. The
BHA's mission is to build a brighter future for the sport of horseracing, for the people working in the
industry and for the horses. The BHA's role is to act for and on behalf of the whole sport, ensuring
