BHA backtrack over laying to lose

Paul Scotney 

 

The BHA has concluded that a proposed rule to prevent owners from placing lay bets on horses in the same yard in which they have a horse in training is unnecessary, and the rule will therefore not be implemented.

ROA Chief Executive Richard Wayman said: “We are pleased that the BHA has listened to the many concerns raised by the ROA. Quite simply, the proposed rule was too blunt and would have subjected a significant number of owners to the possibility of being excluded from ownership having made entirely innocent lay bets.”
 
The full story appears on the ROA website and in the May issue of Thoroughbred Owner & Breeder.
