In 1941 there were only 86 flat race meetings and 34 race meetings under National Hunt rules. In 1941,1385 horses were in training for flat races while less than 700 were in training under National Hunt rules. Before the war runners alone numbered 6700 in flat race" meetings and 4408 in races under National Hunt rules.
Figures for total numbers of horses in training before the war are not immediately available, but they were naturally considerably higher than the numbers of horses actually run.
