Cheltenham festival crackdown aimed at stalling significant rise in false starts

The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) will introduce new measures ahead of next year's Cheltenham Festival to address a significant rise in false starts at the National Hunt showpiece event. The crackdown comes in response to a notable increase in false start incidents that have been disrupting racing at the prestigious meeting. Specific details of the planned measures were not disclosed in the excerpt, but the BHA aims to have them in place before the festival.
