Abstract
First paragraph: This report examines the interaction between working patterns in horseracing and the mental health of the aligned workforce. The research was conducted by the School of Sport & Exercise Sciences at Liverpool John Moores University, and was commissioned by Racing Welfare. The main funders for the project are the Racing Foundation. Certainly, literature exists on mental health within British racing, but this exploratory study looks to explore both the ‘breadth’ of issues raised by the workforce generally, alongside gaining some ‘depth’ in terms of the prevalence of concerns.
