"One might even call it a win. Until, that is, one considers the scorpion crossing the river on the turtle's back, and recalls that nature"

The @BHAHorseracing has had plenty of chances to reduce fixture volume through the unsuitability of course conditions eh Haydock, Brighton etc etc. Nearly everyone agrees there is too much racing. But no every time a course is unsuitable it transfers elsewhere. Clearly the regulator is captured by the @TheRCA #savebritishracing

It's clear the @BHAHorseracing can't best promote the sport commercially but now does it's position compromise it's ability as a regulator. It's decisions have commercial implications in a flagship race like the Derby where the worldpool is involved. @TheRCA @PJAOfficial

British racing now has a rule so absurd that a horse can be loaded into the stalls, the stalls can open, the horse can run the full Derby and finish 10th... and still be declared a non-runner afterwards.
Apparently a horse is no longer a runner because it ran, but because a committee says it was. This needs correcting urgently

The BHA cannot simultaneously claim industry consensus in the rule's genesis while the industry loudly dissents from its application when it ignored the advice from the @HbfBritain amongst others

Scottish legal system clearly corrupt and can be influenced by @theSNP in every aspect. Unable to.manage anything requiring financial expertise

It tells you everything you need to know about the @theSNP and Nicola Sturgeon. Can manage money, can't do numbers, rotten to the core #scottish #politcs

Supporters say prediction markets are a smart, modern way to make money. This is because the odds change based on how other people are betting rather than a bookmaker's judgement.

We welcome the Gambling Commission’s confirmation that it is continuing to consider the extensive evidence submitted on Financial Risk Assessments.
This is an important and constructive step in the process, and recognition that the evidence provided by industry, stakeholders and experts deserves careful consideration.
However, there is still more work to do to ensure any future proposals are genuinely frictionless, proportionate, and do not drive customers towards the growing unsafe gambling black market.
We look forward to continued engagement with the Commission in the weeks ahead.

Phillipson’s Department for Education has managed to make a serious subject look like backstage filler from a daytime celebrity programme.

This is not merely a website grumble. It is a small, glowing parable of British racing’s wider genius for taking loyal customers and treating them as though they are an unfortunate legacy system.
