Owners
Owners should register their sponsorship agreements online through the Racing Admin system. You should ensure your sponsorship arrangements are in line with the Owner Sponsorship Code of Conduct and, in addition to the registration with the BHA, you should have a separate sponsorship contract in place between you and the sponsor.
If you are sponsored as part of your trainer’s yard agreement, you do not need to register this through Racing Admin as the trainer will do this themselves.
Trainers
Trainers should register their yard agreements online through the Racing Admin system. Through Racing Admin you will be able to add and remove owners and horses from the agreement.
Should you receive payment from a betting operator for non-training services you must also complete the online form located in the commercial arrangements section below.
Jockeys
Jockeys should register their on course sponsorship by completing the jockey sponsorship contract (found within the Jockey Sponsorship Code of Conduct) before emailing this to [email protected].
Should you receive payment from a betting operator for non-training services you must also complete the online form located in the commercial arrangements section below.
