the black market favourite is citibet in hong kong and tolerated by the ccp. its a money laundering operation. i know several who use it. one of them has been hoovering it for 12 years with no checks or comebacks at all

newbury sold a chunk of land for housing. you can see it all round the track. it then moved to the garbage channel. one of our premier tracks is a disaster run by idiots

Tony still full of gloom then, no wonder betfair got rid.

Only Harry realises the political situation with gamban, the others have their own interests in not engaging

didnt realise chianti classico was injured but the way he finished his race its not surprising

Anthony is correct here. Give them an inch and they take a mile. It's like that saying of today's liberals are tomorrow's Conservatives. If you keep conceding ground you'll keep losing

Well done to the programme for discussing the subjects most channels aviod : great listening as usual

Not on twitter but Phil Kirby has horse called clear getaway. Having list a seller at Cartmel off a mark of 71 when pointed Mr Kirby has got it to win 5 handicaps for £22k in winning prize money. The house got beat at sedgefield having reached it's ceiling not w rated on the 90s.. What incentive is there to keep the horse in training? How much prize money will it win next year? P.s the loss at Cartmel still burns.

Levy the bloodstock sales with money going to improve female changing rooms,injured jockey club+ boost prize money. New Zealand have banned greyhound racing .

The Irish taxpayer is paying for the effectively unused palaces at the curragh, punchestown, fairyhouse and other tracks around the country. Used maybe 15 times a year . Subsidising the elete who own the winning horses and the small trainers owners are being squeezed out. This is only going to end in tears for the industry.

Greyhound racing is now banned in New Zealand. The future sure does bleak for the industry.

Ladcrookes asking me for ID & proof of address they want to know me as the Gambling Commission have asked them to know their punters . Lost just over £2k in 8 years which works out at a £ a day & they want all my details . Sorry that won't be happening so another punter leaving the game

i ran an exchange shop for 15 years and had to pay the gambling commission £1800 for a licence. Not once did they show up or ask any questions. they just took the money. I could have had 14 year old girls in there fluffing the punters and they would not have known or cared. regulation my hole

Interesting discussion about the detrimental effect that affordability checks are having on the betting industry. Should not those paying the astronomical fees at the sales also be subject to similar checks? The amounts being paid are economic madness , especially as the fees cannot possibly be recouped in the vast majority of cases on the track or at the paddocks.

Jonbon is ultra consistent.,,,,,,, he never wins at the Cheltenham Festival

25% of racecourses closing is punchy. Would have thought at least one would have closed through Covid. There will be one, but there won't be 15.

Racing at courses is finished . Went Sandown on Saturday, a lot of people betting indoors because of the weather. Bet the last winner and got told William Hill had no cash left. I bet in cash, l expect it back. Shocking...

Energumene all day got as much on at 10/1 as possible 5/1 perhaps better price now having seen him tank along first time out. Festival banker for a 3rd time.

Solicitor/barrister who advised Frankie Dettori about the tax dodging scheme who then later got disbarred and became a porn producer? I don't think I've ever heard anything more Jewish in my life. I would wager that's his background

The thought of Hugh balls deep anywhere made me gag. Only place i wants to see him balls deep is a swamp. Seems like racing is in a death spiral.

Well said lads the Greg Wallace bit was absolute hilarious ; this show is a must for racing and life in genaral

Great show as usual lads good input from all Hugh was excellent at steering the ship

Why don’t bookies just pay on 1st passed the post as long as punters know that there is no problem

I see Hughs love in with ruby has infected the whole panel. No note here is gonna change that now. Ruby in bed with Paddy power let's not look at that tho

Thought it was odd Ewing was on Staffordshire Knot and Kennedy on Twoohthree. Maybe Ewing is Gigginstown's preference 🤷‍♂️

Punters would be betting with bookies if they would actually take a bet. A normal punter (not a serial winner) wins a few hundred quid and your account is restricted to 10p e.w so it's hardly rocket science these people don't appear on the figures. They only allow mug punters to bet with them, and these are the people who need protected by safer gambling which is simple to do. If a bookie can very quickly restrict a winner they can even easier restrict serial losers (which they never will), so this safer gambling week is a complete waste of time.

Definitely, bookies are turning me off racing. A young kid l know lost £18,000.0 playing black jack.. bookies said nothing. I won £4,000 on a bet, and you would not believe what they put me through before l got paid.

Best podcast on racing on yt 👏 I see the betfair clowns slagging sir gino even thou the time was very good on ground he wouldn't of liked and praising loussiemouth for winning with everything's in her favour 😅 . That betfair podcast the biggest bunch if gravy train clowns in the industry imo

The host is brutal!!

Thanks for the breakdown! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

Cracking .really enjoyed this one .time for the 5 of you

Good show and well worth watching

why wasnt there a Champions Full Gallop series for the Flat season this year, if theres one for the Jumps Season there should've been a series for the Flat Season

Hugh doesn't give his opinion on ruby one week and TC doesn't call out Nico this week. U ASK THE FUCKING Q hugh!! Your just as guilty

The blogger is doing fantastic work for racing at a sport to follow for younger people

Would be nice if you didn't have to stick to 1 hour, some topics feel really rushed when tony is chiming in every 3 minutes "I know we dont have long left" talk about the topic properly, some weeks be short episode, some will be long

I spent 15 years of my life in Japan, racing on a weekly basis. Loved every second. Yes, it's the best in the world and yes 'they've got it sussed', but what do we learn from it; bugger all!! AK talks about the turnover and they mention the fandom; believe me the Japanese love a bet, love their horses and know how to look after the punter/customer. You know where all the money goes; BACK INTO RACING!! And you know how many punters get barred or prevented from betting in a pool that takes a flat 25% out (for racing); NONE! When are we going to do something about the sorry state we're in in the British Isles!!?? Answer; not in my lifetime. ******!

On 🔥🔥🔥 Tony

You look like 4 guess who characters.

AK thinks nfl is boring 😅 I'll tell u what is boring. Football games with 0-0 after nearly 2 hours . That's boring 😴

That Washington commanders game I was on under 45 points. Now that was a really bad beat

Fantastic comment from Hugh on Constipation Hill Tony is he dead Not sure about anyone else but retire the horse the Constipation Hill story is tiring Let him have his legacy

nobody gives a flying witches fart who these jockeys are or who wins. utter bollox. also, flutter has massively neglected the exchange so for them to chuck away this much cash for jockeys who will not do anything different is yet more bollox

I was waiting for the inevitable "I backed Abuffalosoldier but I feel gutted" tweets, and sure enough, we got them.

Couldn't harry buy freemason lodge to train his racing pheasants?

I have a feeling Hugh thinks Bangor racecourse is in Northern Ireland and not Wales with that accent he was putting on.

Great chat as usual.

Guys ,can one of you try to explain to me why Jonny Francome said over 5 years ago that he is against the whips use in racing to try to improve a horse's placing. He said it shoud only be carried in case of emergency for safety reasons. Many of my non racing friends are turned off racing because of the use of

Horses, in all walks of like, drop dead every day. You cant wrap them up in cotton wool. That Jockeys Competition won't repeat in 2026 because its a waste of money. What sort of pay back do they expect for all that dosh? I can't see them even covering costs.

No chance Hugh calling out ruby about his opinions on Alfonso De Grande but if twas anyone else he would
