Racecourse Association Statement
The Racecourse Association (RCA) was disappointed to learn of Ascot Racecourse’s intention to leave the representative body of British racecourses at the end of 2026.
As cited in media sources on Monday 4th May, the RCA is currently undertaking a thorough governance review at the request of a number of our members. This process is expected to conclude by 31st July 2026, at which point we will present the findings and recommendations to our Board.
Throughout this process, the RCA Board, Executive and members, including the other signatories to the initial call for a review, have worked closely and in good faith to ensure the review delivers the changes required to benefit British horseracing.
The RCA remains committed to being a positive advocate for the sport and delivering its extensive portfolio of services to all its 58 members. We look forward to the conclusion of the review, which we are confident will provide all members with the confidence and security to futureproof the RCA and our contribution to the administration of British horseracing.
