Musselburgh Racecourse has been given the green light to resume racing on Friday, July 14. The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has granted the Scottish track a temporary licence until Dec. 31 while its governance structure undergoes an independent review. Initial refusal by the Musselburgh Joint Racing Committee to participate in such a review had resulted in Musselburgh's licence being suspended on June 30.
A statement issued by the BHA on Friday read, “This follows agreement from the Musselburgh Joint Racing Committee and East Lothian Council that an independent governance review should take place, with a nine-month timeline for completion and implementation of recommendations. Having had the opportunity to clarify some issues with the MJRC, the BHA is satisfied that its licence condition has now been met.”
