‘Young fans love personalities. We talk a lot about jockeys becoming stars. Elevating them as individuals is key’🏇

It's Grand National week. Time to get talking!

Racing is in the fabric of this country’s DNA. The stats prove it:

6 million visitors to UK racecourses a year 👀

Absolutely loved doing this with Charlie Stebbings - great to chat through the challenges and opportunities for the sport.

At least Potch will have something in common with 🎅 this Christmas…

*GCF CALL FOR EVIDENCE* During a meeting with the GCF, DCMS affirmed their committment to 'frictionless checks'. We know this is an impossible goal, and we invite all gamblers to send us any evidence of friction they have experienced with bookmakers.

Very pleased to see our industry petition highlighting the damage and ineffectiveness of blanket affordability checks on the final push to 100k. A serious issue around personal freedom which goes well beyond racing..

The ultimate flying visit and an interesting landing for those of us who aren’t great flyers ✈️ but didn’t want to miss us take on 🇩🇰. We’ve had the better of it so far…

Brilliant. A very special man as well as a superb trainer

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6498… if you believe in the freedom of the individual to spend their money as they see fit whilst encouraging govt to accelerate other ways that will actually address problem gambling, pls sign this - over 80k signatures in just over a week so far…

The GCF receive responses from DCMS and the Gambling Commission on our alternative to affordability. Our original letters, however, were sent prior to our polling, which we have duly responded with. The Govt and GC cannot ignore 68% of the UK public.

Do the right thing and sign this. I’m stunned it’s not way over 100,000 already. This is not something to be lazy over. Even if you hate horse racing & betting - you should sign this. It’s about freedom. Yeeehaaa! 🏇🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6498…

To those who work in racing & breeding, & even affiliated services:
Remember during Covid it was explicitly illustrated how the financial workings of this sport rely on betting? Affordability checks, as currently proposed, will have a comparable effect.

Petition to get affordability checks stopped is now at 30,000 on day 1.

Any trade bodies, racing journalists or bloggers sitting on the fence get involved and lets get this to 50k then 100k.

'Take a minute to sign the petition' - racing unites in opposition to affordability checks | Racing Post racingpost.com/news/gambling-…

We urge all our supporters to sign this petition. Now there is an alternative in place - the GCF's app proposal backed by 68% of the public (YouGov) - it is vital we show the strong wave of opposition towards ineffective, illiberal affordability checks.

Stop the implementation of betting affordability/financial risk checks - if you believe in the freedom of the individual to choose how to spend their money free of State intervention. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6498…

Half think draconian affordability checks proposed on punters will drive them into arms of back street bookies: thesun.co.uk/news/24590161/…
