  The British Horseracing Authority will hold urgent meetings with the independently-chaired Horse Welfare Board, and other industry leaders, to discuss the content of a BBC   Panorama   investigation. The BHA will also contact colleagues at Horse Racing Ireland after the Monday night programme, entitled  The Dark Side of Horse Racing ,  broadcast covert footage filmed inside one of the UK’s biggest abattoirs – which it is claimed showed rules surrounding the slaughter of horses being breached. The programme reported that horses had been transported from Ireland to the UK with an injury before arriving at an abattoir – which is against the approved practices and is an issue the BHA will look at as a “matter of urgency”.             Andrew Nelis racing news and reviews
