- Ruling body ‘deeply concerned’ by Wolverhampton incident
- BHA apologises for ‘human error’ that allowed horse to run
Racing’s ruling body is to review the process by which it approves racehorse names after a runner was allowed to compete under the name of a racial slur.
The horse, named Jungle Bunny, raced in a low-profile contest at Wolverhampton on Saturday, having been missed by officials at the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) who are supposed to prevent offensive and inappropriate names being used.
