SUCH AN INCIDENT AS THIS MANIFESTING ITSELF through failed British regulation, letting the young ones down big time, over a lengthy period, until the young ones grow older and this sort of thing manifests itself. It could be said better the elbow than the whip stopping horses.

PAUL EACOTT "BOOKMAKERS reject bid by Cheltenham to grab slice of turnover ...

"Bookmakers have rebuffed an audacious advance by Cheltenham to grab a bigger slice from the multi-million-pound betting ring at the 2013 festival by charging on-course layers a percentage of turnover .....

"The abolution later this year of the long- standing 'five times rule', which means bookmakers pay five times the admission price to stand and bet, opens a new lucrative revenue source for tracks, and senior management at Cheltenham had hoped they could bargain for a percentage of the turnover in what is by far the busiest betting ring of the year.

GROUP 1 STATUS HANDLER RIDERS AS FOLLOWS

All top professional bloodhorse literate achievers handler riders inclusive and found within all these areas, breeders, owners, trainers,  handler riders, work riders and licensed senior jockeys. All those who have achieved bloodhorse literacy in their lifetime. These are the people who need to challenge the government, the racecourses, the bookmakers, and the regulators these are the people who are being ripped off themselves to include the horses.

PAY BACK TIME

The greedy bankers, the greedy bookmakers, the greedy government, the greedy racecourses, and the greedy regulators have left the heart of British horseracing haemorrhaging right left and centre over the last seven decades. Without a moments thought they have ignored the rights and the needs of the bloodhorse literate and the horses placed within  their care .

So before the rich racecourses attack the rich bookmakers for more money they need to settle their huge debt to the bloodhorse literate to include the horses. whom they have got away with ripping off over the last seven decades.
