BHA announce race upgrades

The British Horseracing Authority have announced the upgrade of three Listed prizes in the Flat calendar to Group Three status.

The EBF Pinnacle Stakes at Haydock on June 2, the RSA Thoroughbred Stakes at Goodwood on August 3 and the Atalanta Stakes at Sandown on September 1 will all carry greater prestige from this year, thanks to the subsequent exploits of each race’s winners.
