Officials in Britain have signed a deal to provide integrity services to support their counterparts in Ireland
Horse racing is to enter a new era of collaboration across the Irish Sea with the news that officials in Britain have signed a deal to provide integrity services to support their counterparts in Ireland. The contract, due to commence in the spring, amounts to a recognition that the British Horseracing Authority has some expertise in this area and headcount at its High Holborn office is to increase to fulfil its new obligations.
Niall Cronin, communications manager at the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board, explained: “The IHRB issued a tender for an external company to provide additional monitoring of betting trends on Irish racing to support our existing integrity functions and provide additional information to our stewards with regard to any issues or concerns that may arise.
