Saudi prince disqualified from British racing over debt

Owner Prince Sultan Bin Mishal al Saud has been added to the British Horseracing Authority's forfeit list after racking up debts of more than £321,000.

Prince Sultan had horses in training with Richard Hannon, with A La Noche and Time To Hunt unsuccessfully representing the owner in 2023, although he had no runners last year.

The owner was placed on the forfeit list with debts of £321,933.75 and is disqualified from participating in British racing until the sum is paid.

Hannon said: "This is a disappointing situation and is now a matter for the BHA. I will not be making any further comment at this time, but I am incredibly grateful for the actions taken by the BHA to date and its continued support to resolve things."
