The British EBF's annual industry document was published on Tuesday. It covers the British EBF's activities for the 2025 Flat and 2025/2026 National Hunt seasons and can be viewed here.
A leading supporter of prize-money in British racing since 1983, the British EBF has maintained record contributions of £2 million for the past three years and is committed to providing the same amount for 2026.
The document details how funds are allocated following the contributions made by British stallion studs from their covering income, a system that has played a vital role in nurturing domestic prize-money for over 40 years.
British EBF chair, Emma Berry said, “Throughout an ever-changing landscape for the racing and breeding industry, the European Breeders' Fund has provided a consistent backdrop for the sport for more than 40 years. Its contributions directly from stallion studs to prize-money are now more vital than ever.
“Ninety-three stallions from 32 studs across Britain have ensured that this year's funding from the BEBF has remained at the £2-million mark for the fourth year in a row. A fund which was started to aid prize-money in two-year-old maidens now plays its part across a range of developmental races which help to ensure that British racing remains among the best in the world.”
