Attheraces is set to stop broadcasting British racing on Monday after failing to agree new media rights deals with 49 of the UK’s racecourses.

The £307m (€460.7m) deal will terminate at midnight on Monday and, although the channel has been trying to agree new deals with the tracks, officials do not think a new contract will be sorted out in time.
