As of January 2019 the Stewards panel for most meetings consists of three people – one unpaid (Stewards Panel Chair) and two Stipendiary Stewards (one will have the role of Chief Steward), employed by the BHA (for a Premier meeting such as Royal Ascot or Cheltenham there are three of each). In addition to these, there is an Assistant Steward, who deals with all of the administration and a Raceday Assistant. The unpaid Stewards are approved and trained by the BHA.
