THE British Horseracing Authority [BHA] has published a provisional fixture list which runs from June 1st to August 31st.

Racing is due to restart in Britain on Monday week, June 1st, though this has yet to be confirmed by the Government.

Under the new provisional fixture list many fixtures, including Glorious Goodwood and the York Ebor meetings, remain unchanged from the original schedule.

In addition, fixtures in Scotland and Wales have been provisionally scheduled (denoted by 'to be confirmed' in the provisional fixture list) but will only be confirmed following further consultation with the relevant Governments on timescales for potential resumption.

An update issued on Friday night by Resumption of Racing Group said: "We can confirm that the race programme [for June] will include additional two-year-old races for the first eight days following resumption. In addition, we will start prioritising three-year-old novice and maiden races towards the middle of the second week (w/c June 9th)."

Earlier on Friday, Ascot Racecourse unveiled the order of running for its behind closed doors Royal Ascot meeting, which is scheduled for June 16th-20th. This outlined several alterations to this year’s Royal meeting, which will include six additional races, with seven races staged on the first four days and eight on the final card.

Additionally, elimination from Royal Ascot races for two-year-olds will be based purely on previous finishing positions, with priority given in the following order:

  • Horses that have won an Open Novice or Maiden race
  • Horses that have won a Restricted Novice or Maiden race
  • Horses that have finished second in an Open Novice or Maiden race
  • Horses that have finished second in a Restricted Novice or Maiden race
  • Horses that have finished third in an Open Novice or Maiden race
  • Horses that have finished third in a Restricted Novice or Maiden race
  • Horses that have finished fourth in an Open Novice or Maiden race
  • Horses that have finished fourth in a Restricted Novice or Maiden race
  • Unraced horses
  • Horses that have run but have not been placed in the first four

    • There will be 72-hour declarations for all British races from June 1st until further notice.

    All non-Pattern and listed races will be limited to 12 runners per race. This reflects risk modelling that indicates that field sizes of 12 or fewer in non-Pattern and listed races reduces the risk to participants on the track. This will be reviewed at the end of the first week of racing.

    Pattern and listed races will not be limited to 12 runners. These races will be subject to the existing maximum field size limits, or any other limit imposed by the racecourse at which the races are to be held.

    With the start of the flat season being delayed, the BHA will help more horses become eligible for a handicap rating after two runs.

    A horse will be eligible for a handicap rating if it (i) finishes in the first six places on both of its first two starts, or (ii) has completed two starts having won first time out.

    In addition, the current rules state that in order to run in a handicap with a total race value of £45,000 or more, a horse must have run at least three times. Given the lack of opportunity for a three-year-old to have a third run this year before some such handicaps take place, this rule will not be enforced until July 1st. This means that relaxation of the qualification rules outlined above will now also apply to high value handicaps until the end of June.

    There will be no regional restrictions in place for British-based horses on resumption.

    International runners will only be permitted to run initially in the three Group 1 races taking place in Britain during the first fortnight (Coronation Cup, 2000 Guineas and 1000 Guineas). They will be able to participate in all Pattern and listed races taking place in Britain from June 15th onwards.

    The BHA says it is assessing the implications of Friday's announcement from the UK Government on quarantine measures for international travellers to the UK from June 8th and will provide further guidance in due course.

    The BHA's provisional fixture list includes jump racing from July 1st. Winners since the beginning of February will retain their novice status until November 30th.

    The BHA will be publishing British racing’s protocols for racing behind closed doors in the coming days. It will include details about who is permitted to attend the racecourse in the early stages of resumption; an overview of the compulsory pre-raceday health screening requirements; information about the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and face coverings; and changes to racecourse protocols and procedures to ensure compliance with social distancing requirements.
