2023 Fixture Dates Announced

Published on 25 August 2022

The British Horseracing Authority has today published the full Fixture List for 2023 on behalf of the tripartite governance structure of British racing.

Coinciding with the release of the new Fixture List, the sport’s leaders have agreed to a series of minimum race value increases across both codes, with the focus on three key areas:

  1. To support the international competitiveness of prize money in Black Type races both on the Flat and over Jumps;
  2. To increase prize money levels in Class 2 and 3 handicaps with the aim of improving the retention of higher-rated horses in Britain, with equivalent Jump races also boosted; and;
  3. To enhance prize money values at the lower levels, with the appearance money scheme to be replaced by a £700 increase to minimum values in handicaps and classified stakes.
