It’s time the Government stopped harming racing with intrusive meddling & gave the Sport of Kings backing it deserves — my article in ⁦⁦The Sun⁩ thesun.co.uk/sport/26147769…

Parliamentarians made it clear social media companies should enforce Ts&Cs banning under-13s. Filth, predators and algorithms that screw with your head. It's baffling and wrong that Ofcom is giving them a pass. Peers' letter asking for a re-think.👇 telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/06/1…

And while the country celebrate, spare a thought for John Hunt. I can’t remember feeling so utterly horrified in years. Those poor girls. Truly horrific💔

Horse racing is a £4.1 billion British success story, and derives much of its income from responsible gambling. Today I asked the Secretary of State if she will reform the Betting Levy and disproportionate affordability checks.

Sending all love and support to Joe Saumarez Smith and his family. On behalf of everyone in the Jockey Club thank you Joe for all you have done for racing. You have always put the sport you love first and today is no different. You will be sorely missed!

British horse racing is the best in the world, but its funding model is broken. Securing a levy deal in racing’s favour and setting out a plan to significantly increase prize money are essential to the industry’s future success.

All our thoughts are with Joe Saumarez Smith's family, friends and colleagues at the British Horseracing Authority.

RIP Michael 🖤

Very sad news. David was a huge racing fan, advocate for the sport & a good friend. Despite our different political backgrounds, I really enjoyed working with him on the Lords Digital committee and talking about racing whenever we could. He will be much missed by many.

What a fantastic video. Great work ARC ! This brilliantly captures what 85k people working in racing across the UK know about the positive impact horses and racing have on our country.

🚨 British racing faces an unprecedented threat – a tax raid which could see it lose £66 million a year and tip it into irreversible decline. We need to stop the racing tax before it's too late. ✍️ Click below to sign the petition to #AxeTheRacingTax and help save our sport ⤵️
