Dear @BHAHorseracing,
You rushed to defend the fruit machine. Racing never needed it.
Shops: down a third, 9,000 to 5,825.
Levy: up, £65m to £108m.
Punters get restricted, closed, funds locked and an auto-email is all you get.

It would seem that Matt Shoutman is always very vocal about where tax comes from, apart from when it comes to paying his own.

“It is absurd that Trip Advisor would seek to demonise racing- Britain’s second most popular spectator sport. They should ditch the puerile virtue signalling, talk to actual experts on animal welfare within racing and drop the policy at once”.

Great race programming: Sedgefield, Carlisle, and Redcar all on the same day, with a good deal of crossover between races . Racecourse capture, alive and kicking. Where is the modelling of the entire system?
The striking figure is Cork: average prize money is 86% higher than the average across the four British meetings (£9,000 per race). Across the 30 British races shown, total prize money is £262,000, exactly £8,733 per race. Cork's £17,000 is therefore 95% higher than the GB race average shown here.

This is well worth a watch from Proform and gives real data around the changes that have happened in racing and the failure to rationalise fixtures, compare Ireland with the UK and you see two completely different pictures. We need a decisive body that can manage the sport

Two in five British races now pay fewer than three each-way places. Twenty years ago it was one in five.
We measured every British race since 2004: 1,548 added, the runs to fill them down 7%. Ireland went the other way.

One contingency being considered is all weather bumpers for not offs so leading trainers can get the requisite number of jogs in before the season starts in March
Two of Britain's leading jumps trainers welcomed the contingencies mooted by the BHA to assist with the incoming "headache" of navigating an autumn jumping calendar almost certain to be impacted by this summer's drought

A politician out of office since 2010 wants to lecture gambling on tax
Brown, who cut betting duty in 2001 to build the industry he now attacks, isn't racing's problem. Racing hands bookmakers a daily product and gets back a levy the BHA says is under 3% of a £15bn+ gambling industry. Who's exploiting whom?
We are suffering from too much empathy, not enough financial acumen, and not enough reality
