Horse racing announces support for social media boycott Share
The
British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has announced that it will join other sporting organisations in this weekend’s social media boycott to highlight awareness of online racism and abuse.
Horse racing will join the boycott from 9pm today (30 April), following a commemoration for Lorma Brooke, the amateur jockey who passed away of injuries from a racing accident this month, and will conclude on 3 May at 11.59pm.
The BHA’s announcement takes on extra significance due to two flat racing ‘Classics’ also taking place this weekend at Newmarket on Saturday and Sunday.

“Equestrianism will not tolerate discrimination or abuse in any form, and we call on social media providers to make their users fully accountable for their actions and eradicate online abuse from their platforms,” said the BEF in a statement.
