J Margaret Clarke Turfcall Comment
THIS PRESENT HORSEMEN'S GROUP IS NOT A TRUE HORSEMEN'S GROUP AT ALL.


MISLEADING FACTUAL TITLE RIGHTS 
This is not a Horsemen's Group due to the fact that there are no True Top Professional Bloodhorse Literate Achiever Handler Riders in it.

BLOODHORSE LITERACY ZONE
A TRUE BLOODHORSE LITERATE HORSEMEN'S GROUP

This present Horsemen's Group is libellous, detracting from the true Zone that is Bloodhorse Literacy the very heart of this unique and remarkable sport. Such a Zone as this needs to be recognised worldwide in every country who has horseracing.

To honour an honest Horsemen's Group the following people are given here as a lead, a guidance as to how a true Horsemen's Group should be formed, to be known to be, and to be understood properly to be,
a true 2012 Bloodhorse Literate Zone

FUNDING BREAKTHROUGH FOR RACING
ON the receiving end of a legal lesson in primary semantics
Tom Kerr goes back to school on day one of William Hill's action in London's
High Court.
" IT WAS just as well the BHA and Betfair agreed a deal before yesterday's hearing. Court 66, tucked away in the east wing of London's Royal Courts of Justice, could barely squeeze another soul inside. Another set of claimants was the last thing it needed.

"We need a conference hall not a court,"quipped one lawyer as the crowd filtered into yesterday's hearing. Unfortunately, the Leverson inquiry into press ethics has commandeered the biggest courtroom of this immense gothic revival complex. A dubious sense of priorities, but there you go. Some people just don't realise how important the levy is.

"This case, or challenge, relates to whether the Levy Board was right when it  said it could not collect levy from exchange users as they do not fall within the statutory definition of a bookmaker.

"Consequently, much of the court's time was taken up defining difficult and elusive words such as 'receive' or 'negotiate'. It was a bit like playing Scrabble with a three-year-old.

"Before we could get started there was the important business of announcing the BHA had made a deal with Betfair,

"One of the defence barristers, perhaps the superbly named Lord Pannick (pronounced Lord Panic), handed judge Justice Stanley Burnton a press release explaining the matter.

"I'll read that later," he replied, in  a tone that suggested he would do nothing of the sort.

"Dinah Rose QC, representing William Hill, told us the Levy Board had done a "volte face" on the issue of exchange customers, having insisted for at least eight years they were liable for levy before abandoning the position. After the BHA's withdrawal you almost began to feel sorry for Hills, a rock of stability in a sea of inconsistency.

"As mentioned, however, the main topic was defining everyday words, an activity only lawyers and primary school teachers eke a living out of.

"There was lengthy discussion of what difference, if any,there is between making and receiving a bet, interrupted briefly by an 'emergency situation', which asked us to search our immediate areas for, presumably, bombs and daggers and stuff.

"(Attention please. Attention please,"we later heard."This is the control officer. The emergency situation has been resolved. The building has been declared safe." The judge, as if he had just been told the oceans were not going to turn into jelly after all, said: "That's a relief.")

"We were told about many rulings and precedents, including something called the Quintavalle case ("Your Lordship of course is familiar with this; it is the human fertilisation case") and many blameless words like 'orginised' and 'affected' were dragged into the sorry mess, which like a good pub brawl had gathered significant momentum of its own.

"An example; Rose cited a case against a social club who placed bets using a tote-style machine operated by a company which 'negotiated' bets. The Lord Justice interjected:"Well, we need to discuss what negotiating a bet means." Yes, let's.

"The answers were illuminating. Recieve, we were told, means to take or accept. "So receive means receive?" asked the judge.

"Later, Lord Justice Burnton mused: "Basically you're arguing over two words."

"Yes. Well, really one word: receive, "  replied Rose."
