4 Racing v COVID-19

4 Racing v COVID-19

We are passionate about horseracing and through our various connections at The Racing Info Bureau, we want to support racing stables and stable staff.
The sport we love has suffered badly during the COVID-19 pandemic and racing yards up and down the country have landed on very hard times due to the countrywide shutdown of our sport. We are raising money through here, to support this section of the industry because it will take our great sport a long time to recover from this pandemic. Racing behind closed doors may return soon but yards and stable staff will still see reduced income levels for some time to come.

We will be doing this through our relationship with the Racing Welfare Charity.

Racing Welfare supports the workforce of the British horseracing and Thoroughbred breeding industry. They give professional guidance and support to the dedicated stud, stable and support staff whose work is vital for the well-being of our sport.

What we are all facing is unprecedented and could have a lasting impact on the British horseracing industry. We know that this is a very challenging and uncertain time for everyone, and for Racing Welfare the financial impact has been severe. They are experiencing a significant drop in income as fundraising events and activities have had to be cancelled and with no idea when they might be able to start them up again. They are therefore looking at a loss of fundraising income in 2020 of around £500,000 at the present time. This is where we will seek to help through this campaign.

All of what is donated will be given directly to Racing Welfare to benefit the teams of people that give us such great enjoyment.

Thank you and please give whatever you can afford, as it all helps no matter how much.

Additionally as well as the donations, we aim to have a horse in training to be funded by selling shares in that horse.

The profits made from this and any prize money earned will also be going back into "4 Racing v COVID -19". By having a horse running for the benefit of Racing Welfare we hope to keep on giving for the benefit of those that Racing Welfare support.
