The British Horseracing Authority has abandoned its attempt to continue
racing behind closed doors and announced that all racing in Britain will
be suspended from Wednesday until the end of April, in order “to protect essential emergency services and the health and welfare of staff working
in the racing industry”.

The BHA’s move follows a revision to the government’s plan to combat coronavirus on Monday, which included recommending the avoidance of social contact and the withdrawal of medical support from mass gatherings. Two
race meetings scheduled for Taunton and Wetherby on Tuesday afternoon will
go ahead as planned with no spectators present, and with private
ambulances to provide medical support.

“This is a national emergency the like of which most of us have never seen before,” Nick Rust, the chief executive of the British Horseracing
Authority, said on Tuesday. “We’re a sport that is proud of its connection to rural communities and to the local businesses that support our
industry. But our first duty is to the health of the public, our customers
and to racing industry participants and staff, so we have decided to
suspend racing following the government’s latest advice.”
