ONLINE RULE BOOK

26-07-2007

As from Tuesday 31st July 2007, the newly created interactive Orders and Rules of Racing (the ‘Rules’) and Guide to Procedures and Penalties (the ‘Guide’) will be available online.

Access can be gained either directly through http://rules.britishhorseracing.com or via the British Horseracing website (www.britishhorseracing.com).

Online access to the Rules and Guide ensures that both publications are fully up to date and also provides:

· Easy to use menus and search facilities

· Links between the Rules and their respective penalties

· Highlighted Rule changes (with effective date), together with the ability to view old versions and proposed changes

· Ability to print or copy text into other office documents

In the light of accessibility to the Rules and Guide online, hard copies will no longer be sent out on an annual basis.

Any Amateur Rider who still wishes to receive a hard copy of either publication can obtain one by request from the Licensing Department. Please contact Alexandra Walls on 020 7189 3844.
