A decision so lacking in credibility it is actually too ludicrous to contemplate.

Many will say it is because you cannot get a bet on.
Many will now say, why bother?
As blatant as you can get.

@rudeboys1982@racingblogger Proliferation to suit the breeders.
The sales houses have minted it whilst giving little back to the industry.

16 runner handicap 8.45 @NewmarketRace - all the bookmakers 1/5 odds 4 places โฆโฆ

Unreal.
Wanted: Chair for a governing body in structural crisis. The sport generates an elite product that is being systematically extracted by better-resourced international competitors. Its commercial relationship with the gambling industry is under-remunerated and under-negotiated. Its governance has just failed, publicly, in an attempt at basic reform. Its flagship racecourse has left the main representative body. Its incoming permanent Chief Executive is newly appointed. Its Levy framework faces challenge. Its regulatory credibility with Whitehall is uncertain.

Very odd post.

@announcerphil@keithapearson So it is not a tax dodge or anything of the sort.
I personally would charge a t/o tax so nothing could be off shored etc
But whilst international agreements allow the behaviour then โฆโฆ
