Talking Horses: Non-runners on Tuesday’s cards reveal scale of problem

Oct 03, 2017

The British Horseracing Authority is trying to address the issue by publishing a detailed breakdown of the last year’s non-runners trainer by trainer

There are 15 non-runners on Tuesday’s four cards already, including no fewer than nine of the original 68 final declarations on the Flat card at Ayr, which gives a glimpse of the scale of the problem that the British Horseracing Authority is trying to address by publishing a detailed breakdown of the last year’s non-runners by trainer.

The tables published on Monday highlighted several trainers whose non-runner rate is above the threshold level that could trigger a 12-month ban on using the self-certification system to withdraw horses from their yard.
