@JimLaker6 @ARJW78 @LydiaHislop @CheltenhamRaces Not denying that - which is why I’m saying that risk was clearly assessed and deemed to not be an issue and since there were no incidents it validates the assessment

You never know, maybe @LydiaHislop was onto something @CheltenhamRaces Clearly races were a huge gamble after trials day and now many owners and trainers are left in the lurch with zero notice.

@RacingPost So @LydiaHislop what did the moving of the final hurdle at such a late stage have to with this ? I remember your surprise at the time this was announced. Was it 100% safe ? Guess we will never know

'thousands could be asked to hand over sensitive documents just to carry on.' Already happened. The BGC has had 6 years to get affordability checks to work since it first supported the concept in 2020. The organisation needs to withdraw its support rather than keep complaining about implementation ideas that will never work.
Betting and Gaming Council@BetGameCouncil

There’s a real question policymakers need to answer: What happens when betting starts to feel like a financial background check? As @TheSun highlights, thousands could be asked to hand over sensitive documents just to carry on. That level of intrusion doesn’t build trust - it risks pushing customers toward unregulated sites, where there are zero checks and zero protections. thesun.co.uk/news/38562507/…

@mindmodeller I think restrictions have accelerated and broadened since pre-affordability, no? Agree FOBTs + VIPs did most of the reputational damage. An independent review of every misdirected recent measure is probably far too much to hope for but I don’t see what else to advocate for?

I agree with most of what @LydiaHislop had to say with the exception account restrictions that are now on a different plain. The FOBTs did most of the reputational damage whether you agree with them of not. Twycross is complete idiot and a government puppet. Governments never operate with an independent lens. re Post Office, Hillsborough, Iraq war etc

open.spotify.com/episode/6yFFws… Studious moralising from Lydia Hislop on bookmakers. The levy mess directly attributable to bookmakers (not racing) and certainly not any notion of personal responsibility She's a dinosaur who perhaps needs to better fsmiliarise herself with the product

@NHRacingGuide Truly “woke” has become a synonym for “something I don’t like”. It’s lost all objective meaning, even as an inexplicable insult.

We’re thrilled to welcome a stunning colt by Bayside Boy out of Au Clair de Lune to the RaceShare string - our first foal purchase (now a yearling)! He will be trained by none other than Karl Burke - multiple Group 1-winning trainer. Karl is the latest top-tier trainer to join our RaceShare roster, and we couldn’t be more excited to have his expertise guiding our colt’s training. A 40-share syndicate - you can find more details at RaceShare.com ➡ Swipe to follow his journey and see the progression from foal to yearling.
