The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has today announced that the BHA Board has granted Musselburgh Racecourse a temporary licence, which will expire on 5 May.

The BHA Board now considers it appropriate in the interests of the racecourse and the wider sport for a temporary licence to be issued. The temporary licence means that the racecourse’s fixtures which are programmed for 3 and 4 May can go ahead as scheduled.

An update regarding the state of Musselburgh’s racecourse licence beyond 5 May will be issued in due course.
