In a statement, the BHA said: "The British Horseracing Authority has been active in the Senedd for a number of years, running a Cross Party Group and engaging with the Welsh Government on behalf of the industry. "We will continue to engage with the new administration to make it aware of the vital significance of Welsh horseracing, which is an economic powerhouse, a cultural institution and huge sporting success story for Wales. "It is important the Government continues the good work of its predecessor by ensuring that horseracing, which is such a vibrant part of the way of life in Wales, continues to receive official support. "The horseracing industry has invested over £63m since 2000 in equine welfare initiatives, which have helped deliver genuine progress, and politicians from across the political spectrum in Wales are on the record praising the high standards of equine welfare in our sport."
