Clarification for UK Trainers entering horses to race in the Channel Islands
11th June 2019
The Channel Islands Horseracing Authority (the Authority) has received a number of requests from trainers based in the United Kingdom regarding the qualifications required for running a horse in the Islands.
If a trainer holds a ‘National Hunt Permit Licence’ or a ‘National Hunt Trainers Licence’ issued by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) then the CIHA will allow that trainer to enter dual purpose or flat horses to run at L’Ancresse or Les Landes Racecourse in flat races.
BHA licensed flat trainers are not allowed to enter hurdle races.
No Point-to-Point licensed trainers or jockeys may participate in racing in the islands.
All jockeys must hold a recognised BHA licence. Amateur Riders must hold a Category B amateur riders permit and will not be allowed to ride if they only hold a Category A riders permit.
Fully fledged professional flat jockeys are permitted to ride over hurdles. Apprentice jockeys are not.
For any further clarification please contact the Registry Office.
