2020/21 National Hunt Yearbook
PROFESSIONAL OR WELCOME from the TBA NH Committee Chairman
To say that this year has been challenging for racing’s participants at all levels
ENTHUSIAST, TBA would be an understatement. It is greatly to the credit of the TBA that the 2020
breeding season went ahead at all, albeit under strict protocols, while many
MEMBERSHIP OFFERS people deserve credit that racing continues, even with strict controls.
We are delighted to present to you the TBA NH Yearbook for the 2020-21
MANY BENEFITS. season, which showcases what the TBA does for the National Hunt industry.
Just like everyone else, the TBA NH Committee’s activities were impacted
upon and reduced by the pandemic. Its flagship event, the NH Breeders’ Awards Evening in August
went virtual under the skilful guidance of Nick Luck, and the evening celebrated and rewarded
British breeders for their success over the course of the 2019-20 season.
Updated details of the 2021 TBA/HBLB Elite NH Mares’ Incentive Scheme can be found within this
publication. This provides an incentive to the owners of the best jump mares to use British-based
stallions. I urge all mare owners to utilise the scheme – registrations need to be made to the TBA
office by 31 January 2020.
Earlier in the year, the Great British Bonus (GBB) Scheme launched. This is certain to be a great benefit
for the entire industry – when a bonus is won, the benefits extend from the breeder right through to
stable staff. Another exciting development this season is the first running of the Grade 1 mares’ only
chase at the Cheltenham Festival. This has long been an ambition and has only come about thanks to
the determination of key people whose success in getting this race is much appreciated.

THE TBA AND THE NATIONAL HUNT
COMMUNITY
Every cloud has a silver lining, and the challenge to the
practicalities of breeding mares this spring, focused many
large and small breeders minds on just how important the TBA
is to those involved in breeding racehorses. And certainly, I
heard of one or two cases, where the support and advice from
the TBA made the difference as to whether they bred their
mares at all.

THE LIBERTHINE MARES’ CHASE
During my decade as Chairman of the TBA National Hunt
Committee the promotion of breeding National Hunt horses
in Great Britain has focussed on three areas. These are firstly
the Elite Mares’ Scheme under which the Levy Board provides
financial assistance to the owners of the best mares to go to
British based stallions. The second is the Great British Bonus
(GBB) scheme, new in 2020, which provides up to £20,000
for every win to the connections of a GB suffixed filly or
mare that wins a race for fillies and mares only, half that if
the stallion is based overseas or the race is for both sexes or a National Hunt Flat Race. The third
focus is the development and upgrade of the race programme for females only. Taken together
these three promotions have massively changed the viability of British studs and the desirability
of fillies in particular. Racing fillies is massively important as it means that they will be tried on the
racecourse (currently under 25% of NH fillies actually race) so that breeders know which are the
most talented and which the most sound, both important pieces of information.
The ambition of all owners is to win a race at the Cheltenham Festival so it is excellent that in
2021 there will be a Class 1 steeplechase for mares only added to the Class 1 novice hurdle (the
Dawn Run) and the Class 1 hurdle race for more experienced horses (the David Nicholson). These
hurdle races are now very successful races so though it may take time for the chase to build to
the desired level I am confident that this will happen. I am delighted and highly honoured that the
Cheltenham executive suggested that an appropriate thank you for serving as Chairman of the
racecourse for nine Festivals would be that the “handle” for this race should be Liberthine.

8 Where fees are subsidised by the HBLB, mare owners are required to pay any remaining fee to the stallion
stud according to the terms of the nomination agreement; failure to do so may result in the mare owner
being liable for the whole cost of the nomination fee.
9 Should demand exceed the funds allocated for the scheme, or funds be reduced to the extent that the
scheme becomes untenable, the TBA reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Scheme at any time. In
particular, any excess of demand over available funds may be dealt with by reducing the value of grants
awarded for category 3 mares to £1,000. If this step becomes necessary, every effort will be made to
notify those affected as soon as possible.
10 The TBA NH Committee’s decision on any matter regarding the 2021 Elite NH Mares’ Incentive Scheme
will be regarded as final.
