BRITISH Horseracing Authority (BHA) chair Annamarie Phelps believes her sport has been right to avoid “hypocritical” statements, and is instead taking effective steps to bring much-needed improvement in the body’s diversity and inclusion policy.
Speaking to Sky Sports Racing on the anniversary of the murder of George Floyd which sparked international protests, Phelps said that she is placing her faith in a joint industry commitment to formalise change.
In Sky’s documentary The Uncomfortable Race, broadcast this morning, concerns were voiced by a selection of young people from ethnic minority backgrounds with aspirations to make their careers in racing.
