3 FOREWORD NICK RUST CHIEF EXECUTIVE S FOREWORD It is one of my key aims as Chief Executive to ensure that the BHA is more open, transparent and in touch with the needs of the sport it serves, which is why I have decided to publish this booklet. I have made it an objective to speak to as many of the sport s participants as possible in my first year in the job, across the full spectrum of the industry, including our diverse range of owners, trainers, jockeys and racecourses. One message that keeps coming back to me from these conversations is that financially it s tough going out there on the ground. Owing to the issues we face regarding our funding mechanism not currently delivering a fair return to the sport from the betting industry, times are tight financially. We have an ambitious agenda for the sport in terms of how we want to grow participation and revenues, but if this growth is to be sustainable it needs to be built on solid foundations. We will strive at all times to ensure that we are providing an effective, efficient service which represents value for money for our participants. We are aware that one of the financial pressures placed on our participants are the fees that we charge to operate the BHA. It is for this reason that I wanted to make sure our participants are aware of what they get in return for their fees and the value that the BHA is seeking to deliver. Nick Rust Chief Executive 3

4 MISSION & OBJECTIVES THE BHA S MISSION AND STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES The BHA is the governing and regulatory body for British Horseracing in Great Britain, with wide-ranging responsibilities. We regulate, organise and represent British Horseracing. We lead and co-ordinate activities which will ensure the overall health, development and growth of the industry. We prioritise the welfare of our horses and our people. In 2015, along with all the key stakeholders in British Racing, we launched the Strategy for Growth, which aims to build a more prosperous and sustainable future for the sport, and those deriving their livelihoods from it. The following ambitious growth targets were set: Number of horses in training 1,000 additional horses by 2020 Betting participation levels up 5% by 2018 Racecourse attendance levels reaching 7 million by 2020 New income for the sport 120m extra per annum by

5 The goals of the industry s Strategy for Growth are intrinsically linked to the BHA s wider Strategic Objectives: To deliver improved and sustainable funding from betting on the sport To provide equine welfare leadership To develop properly funded and integrated welfare and training programmes To work with others in the sport to grow participation levels and deliver the Strategy for Growth, and associated targets To lead an holistic and collaborative approach to race planning To continue to evolve a regulatory and integrity framework that ensures improved confidence amongst participants and the racing and betting public To continue to develop a framework that sees Britain further its position as the home of the best quality racing in the world To develop and maintain a cohesive and friendly workplace in which commitment, contribution, enthusiasm and professionalism is expected and recognised To promote and develop the sport s community engagement work under the banner of Racing Together 2015 also saw an historic moment for British Racing with the signing of the Members Agreement between the BHA, the Racecourse Association, the Racehorse Owners Association, the Thoroughbred Breeders Association and Licensed Personnel, comprised of the National Trainers Federation, Professional Jockeys Association and National Association of Stable Staff. The Members Agreement heralds a new way in which the sport will be run, with strategic decisions taken in a unified manner, for the long-term benefit of the sport as a whole. 5

7 BHA BUDGET

8 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW In 2014 the BHA recorded a cash deficit of over 2m as a result of increasing its activities whilst freezing participant fee increases in 2013 and In order to redress the balance, a 5.85% fee increase was implemented in 2015 which has contributed to reducing the deficit to a forecast of 461k in The BHA s deficits have been funded by its cash reserves, which are forecast to stand at 3m at the end of forecast 2016 budget Change Income 30,336 31, Expenditure 30,797 31,925 1,128 Cash deficit (461) (773) (312) 8

9 The BHA is now delivering more in terms of services than it ever has before. In particular this includes launching the Strategy for Growth which inevitably will cost money to deliver but in the long term has the objective of growing the sport and in particular income streams for the industry. trying to ensure that they are minimised, but considering ability to pay. Racecourse fixture fees will increase by 3% whilst the majority of the various fees charged to owners and trainers will not increase in We believe the 1.128m increase in expenditure in our 2016 budget is necessary to deliver our key strategic goals which will include a compelling package of participant welfare and training activity, completing our work around holistic race planning and streamlining our regulatory activity on racedays. In addition, we continue to reorganise and develop our workforce which accounts for circa 50% of our overall cost and have made a few increases in people in key areas to ensure our strategic goals are delivered. We also continue to invest in systems including but not solely with Weatherbys to ensure the underlying infrastructure which is needed to operate our sport on a daily basis is fit for purpose. In order to fund these activities and deliver excellence for our sport, we have considered what increases in charges we might need to make. We now have a dedicated senior leader within the BHA who is focusing on delivering new efficiencies and raising income from sources other than our participants. It is expected that good progress will be made on this in In the meantime, we have considered the charges made to the sport s participants, Fee increases for owners relate to: Name reservations Colours registrations for owners that don t have horses in training Foreign race entries Use of Weatherbys call centre for making entries and declarations Fee increases for trainers relate to: Stable staff validity passes/trainers identity cards Non-online return on horses in training Jockeys fees will increase by 3%. Racing publications will increase by 3%. Over the coming two years, the BHA aims to deliver a surplus in order to replenish cash reserves to the 4m level recommended by our audit committee. We continue to explore cost saving opportunities and funding opportunities, whilst delivering a first class service across the industry. Over the following pages we break down the income that the BHA receives and the areas in which it spends this income in delivering the many services to British Racing s participants. 9
