1. Due to changes in the way that Dual-Purpose horses are classified from February 2009 onwards, the figures for Flat-Only, Jump-Only and Dual-Purpose horses may not be comparable with previous years.

2. The figure for Hunter Chasers is the highest point reached during the year, typically in May or June, whereas all other figures are an average of the 12 monthly figures for each year.

3. See “Horses in Training by Age” graph on page 14.

tote proceeDS In June 2011, the Horserace Totalisator Board, known commonly as the Tote, was sold by government to Betfred. The government committed that 50% of the net proceeds from the sale would be distributed to racing – the final element of which was received in may 2014. In total, the racing industry received £81,680,792 of net proceeds from the sale, which were allocated to two entities to create a meaningful long-term legacy for the industry.
