Brant Dunshea, chief regulatory officer at the BHA, said, “The BHA and ARC met earlier this week and agreed a series of immediate measures which were put in place for this evening’s meeting. The course was inspected prior to racing by a BHA Course Inspector and was deemed fit to race. Pre-race checks were also carried out on all horses competing by BHA Veterinary Officers. In the sad event of two further fatalities, we have jointly decided with ARC to suspend jump racing at Southwell until further notice whilst we work together to complete a detailed investigation.”
