TWELVE racecourses could be BANNED from hosting fixtures under new rule
TWELVE British racecourses could be BANNED from hosting fixtures under radical new BHA sanctions. The punishment will come in if the tracks do not finish improvements to their weighing rooms by the new mandatory deadline. 1 Racecourses across Britain are under pressure to improve their facilities for jockeys after years of lagging behind.
