Masaf revises racecourse subsidy decree following Lazio court rulings
Italy’s Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry amended its 25 March 2025 decree on subsidies for recognised horse-racing companies, following two Lazio Regional Administrative Court rulings. The revised rules retain four racecourse categories and exclude promotional venues from residual subsidy distributions, while preserving support for standard race-day costs.
The revised classification and allocation rules determine which racecourses can receive residual subsidies and capital contributions.
