Testing is carried out to ensure that racing is fair and safe for all its participants and to safeguard the integrity of the sport. BHA increasingly conducts pre-race and out-of- competition testing. This allows it to act quickly on intelligence received and provides a major deterrent to the extremely small minority of people in the sport who would deliberately attempt to influence the outcome of a race via the use of prohibited substances.  BHA uses a targeted, intelligence led approach combined with raceday sampling that is process led.
