Morag Gray and Jim McGrath have been named as the two independent directors of
the British Horseracing Authority, which is set to launch as UK horse racing’s
new governing and regulatory body in early 2007.

Gray, 44, is a former chief executive of Hamilton Park and was awarded an MBE
for her services to racing in 2005. McGrath, 51, who has been a director of BHB
since January 2005, is managing director of the Timeform Organisation and a
Channel 4 Racing broadcaster.

Their appointments bring the formation of the BHA Board one step closer.

In addition to Gray and McGrath, Paul Roy and Nic Coward, chairman and chief
executive-designates of BHA respectively, will be joined by Toby Balding and Ian
Renton, the two directors with practitioner experience appointed by BHA’s member
organisations.

The two remaining directors of the eight-strong Board to be named are the
independent regulatory directors.
