 In Great Britain, Thoroughbred horse racing is governed by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) which makes and enforces the rules, issues licences or permits to trainers and jockeys, and runs the races through their race course officials.The Jockey Club in the UK has been released from its regulatory function but still performs various supporting roles.A significant part of the BHA's work relates to the disciplining of trainers and jockeys, including appeals from decisions made by the course stewards.
