Horse Racing: Strikes
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the potential (a) financial and (b) other impacts of the proposed strike action on 10 September 2025 on the horseracing industry.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The Government is aware of the postponement of racing on 10 September, with the four fixtures rescheduled between 8-15 September.
No internal analysis has been conducted of the financial implications of the industry’s decision to postpone racing, however we remain in close contact with the sporting authorities.
