• Horseracing
  Regulated and governed by the British Horseracing Authority
• Greyhound racing
  Regulated by the National Greyhound Racing Club (NGRC) and the British Greyhound Racing Board (BGRB)

We also take close interest in the welfare of horses and greyhounds, though this issue is within the remit of the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
 
We also sponsor three independent public bodies, run in accordance with the provisions of the Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act 1963 (as amended) and are not controlled by the Government:

• Horserace Totalisator Board (Tote)
• Horserace Betting Levy Board (Levy Board)
• Horserace Betting Levy Appeal Tribunal for England and Wales

The Horserace Betting Levy is a statutory levy collected and distributed by the Horserace Betting Levy Board (HBLB). Contributions are made by bookmakers and the Tote and go towards the improvement of horseracing breeds of horses and the advancement of veterinary science and education.

On 14 December Richard Caborn, The Minister for Sport announced that the Levy would be retained until an adequate funding alternative can be identified.
