One of the biggest issues for a number of years now at the Cheltenham festival has been the starts of races and this week has been the same so far with a number of unsatisfactory starts so far. The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has now announced that a full review will take place into the starts of races at the Cheltenham festival following its conclusion.

The BHA’s statement reads: “Following several false starts in 2025, the BHA worked with the PJA and the Jockey Club to discuss the issues that were contributing to the starts. Measured alterations were subsequently made to some starting locations. At the same time, work was undertaken with jockeys to ensure that the rules and procedures were understood by all participants ahead of the start of the 2026 Festival.

“The review will consider factors such as the configuration of the course, the perspectives of riders from differing jurisdiction and licence types, the process of starting the race including the preliminaries and starting process, technology, the penalties and deterrents for rule breaches and the other, varied contributing factors which are unique to the Cheltenham Festival.”
