Supporting British Racing – The Jockey Club Annual Review

The Jockey Club

THE NATIONAL STUD The National Stud has been an integral part of the British Thoroughbred breeding industry for more than 100 years. The Jockey Club has owned and operated The Stud since 2008 and today it is led by Tim Lane. In November 2018, we were delighted to announce that HRH The Duchess of Cornwall – a Jockey Club Member – had agreed to become Patron of The Stud. In 2018, five stallions stood at The Stud as part of the range of breeding services available. These were Aclaim, Gregorian, Marcel, Spill The Beans and Time Test. Meanwhile, The Stud’s education arm continued to deliver world-class training for the next generation of

stud staff and tours of the farm formed part of Discover Newmarket and remained open to all. Facilities at The National Stud continue to improve, with HRH The Duchess of Cornwall officially opening the refurbished Stallion Unit in May 2019. JOCKEY CLUB SERVICES Jockey Club Services has been providing a range of business services to an excellent roster of UK sports organisations since its inception five years ago. Recently we were pleased to welcome high- profile governing body, UK Athletics, to this roster, having engaged us to provide finance and accounting services to them. Jockey Club Services makes good use of our assets

and expertise to generate additional revenues for British Racing, with the bonus of broadening the experience and horizons of our people in the process. RACING WELFARE The Jockey Club’s charity, Racing Welfare, plays an essential role within our sport, providing help and support for racing’s workforce under the leadership of Dawn Goodfellow and its dedicated team. Racing Welfare offers professional guidance and practical help to those people whose dedication is vital for the wellbeing of British Racing. This includes providing a national network of Welfare Officers based in regional offices around the UK, operating Racing’s Support
