The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has announced that all British racing will be suspended on the day of Her Majesty The Queen’s funeral.
On what will be a national bank holiday, 19 September 2022 will mark a day of respect for Her Majesty, in which all sporting events will be postponed.
British horseracing was the only major sport scheduled for the day, but all races have now been cancelled as a mark of respect.
The BHA says the cancellations will give everyone involved in British racing the opportunity to mourn the passing of Her Majesty, and offer thanks for her contribution to the sport and the nation.
