In this section we look at how to treat Inside Information and give some examples of acceptable and unacceptable uses of it. There may be other instances that are not covered here, and the guidance is not meant as a substitute for the Rules or an exhaustive list. If you have any doubts about what is acceptable and what isn’t, please contact the British Horseracing Authority for advice.
Acceptable uses of Inside Information by Owners
As an owner, you have possession of any Inside Information relating to your horse, and generally you can use this information how you like – as long as it’s not for corrupt betting purposes. It’s acceptable to use Inside Information you have about your horse to personally bet on that horse winning. And it’s also acceptable to put information on publicly accessible telephone information lines or websites, whether or not you’re paid for doing this. As an owner it is also important to remember that you can put staff in a difficult position if you ask for information on other horses in the yard. They may not have permission from the other owners to disclose this information.
Unacceptable uses of Inside Information by Owners
You are not allowed to lay your own horses to lose and you must also protect the information you have from others who may use it to lay your horses to lose This could include anyone working for you in connection with ownership of the horses such as a racing manager, secretary or driver.
