British Bloodstock Marketing

British Bloodstock Marketing (BBM) is an industry financed organization supported by the key members of the industry. BBM has evolved from the British Bloodstock Marketing Group (BBMG) which was orignially created by the British Horseracing Board (now Authority) in 1994.
