Flat Racing May Bring Solutions to the Premier Racing, but Applicability to Jumps is Debated

The recent weather has disrupted the British fixture list, resulting in the cancellation of several Premier meetings. These developments have affected what was anticipated to be a significant shake-up in the racing calendar.

The concept for Premier racing was initially centered on Flat racing rather than jump racing. It is rooted in the work of a group of influential figures in the industry, led by former BHB chairman and racehorse owner, Peter Savill.

These industry heavyweights laid the groundwork for many of the fundamental aspects of Premier racing. Under their guidance, the framework for this initiative was established with a focus on elevating the status of racing events.
