2023 Fixture List: minimum race values set for boost

2023 fixture list has been released. Prize-money for Group One Flat races will be raised by £50,000. The current appearance money scheme has also been scrapped. There are 1,478 meetings planned for the 2023 season. The potential Racing League fixtures for 20th century will not be considered at the end of this year's competition in mid-September. A proposal to remove 300 races from the calendar was rejected earlier this season, but the current list is similar to previous years. It includes a number of initiatives. BHA is working on the Industry Strategy.
