The Arena Racing Company, who agreed to commit to unlocking levy contributions for all eligible races for the month of March, has extended its agreement for another week until Apr. 8, Racing Post reported on Sunday. The extension applies to all ARC-owned fixtures from Apr. 1-8 and all Class 4-6 races on the flat and Class 3-5 races over jumps during that time period.

“Constructive discussions between horsemen, racecourses, and BHA have been ongoing in recent weeks,” said an ARC spokesman to Racing Post on Saturday. “To allow further time for an agreement to be reached, we have taken the step to unlock eligible races for the first week of April.”
