Major horse racing fixture change confirmed as BHA bosses admit trial ‘did not deliver’

THE BHA has scrapped Sunday night horse racing, saying the pilot scheme ‘did not deliver what we had hoped’.

Racing’s bosses launched a trial period of Sunday evening racing earlier this year in the hope of capturing more punters in a ‘new betting session’.

But it was quickly met with hostility from a number of jockeys, trainers and yard workers amid concerns over work-life balance.
