Divided Races
The 2026 Divided Race Fund (DRF) has in place a budget of £1.3m (2025: £1.2m).
This fund will continue to offer a payment to each division of a race when the original race is divided into two or more races once a threshold of a certain number of declared runners is reached. Each division of a race receives full ratecard payment from HBLB based on the race type, class and advertised prize fund of the original race.

The Board has been pleased to agree this policy to maximise opportunities for participants to run where there are oversubscribed races.
