New Veterinary Certificate for Non Runners, March 2008
 
 The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has modified the Rules of Racing Rule 144 that pertains to Veterinary Certification with regard to non-runners. This modification comes into force on the 22nd March 2008
 
As from that date, a racehorse trainer will be able to self-certify a horse he/she considers unfit to race as being a non-runner. In such an event, the horse will not be permitted to race for a period of 6 days from date of self-certification. Veterinary certificates issued as a result of a clinical examination by a veterinary surgeon will NOT be subject to the six day restriction, but cannot rescind a trainer's self-certification.
 
The full amended Rule 144 and Instruction D10 and the new Veterinary Certificate can be seen below.
