Laura Stephens has rarely been off-screen since being recruited by Stan James and the William Hill girl is not far behind. Is it the end for Simon Clare?

Let’s hope so!
Maybe some of these women will lay a bet, unlike big girl’s blouses like Leon Blanche and co….. but I’m not holding my breath.
Strange, was thinking exactly the same thing yesterday as the original question.
I think with the bulk of punters being men, it is just natural that we like to see an attractive female face on the box. ATR, Racing UK and Channel 4 know this. I am sure they are more likely to get an attractive woman on screen than the normal craggy faced bloke. Therefore, Bookies themselves are more likely to employ women than men, expect more beauties on bookies books..But Is this sexism?
Who cares.

I can only conclude that if you went for a job and were the best-qualified candidate for it but failed to get it, while some supposed "eye candy" did, you wouldn’t be too put out?

Certainly would not get the job if you are a ginger.

What if it were a job as a ginger tipster?
William Hill’s PR team actually consists of 3 men (2 are senior) and 2 women. Not actually taking over the world yet.

One of the blokes is called Rupert, so it’s virtually 50/50
On a serious note, Kate Miller is both more knowledgeable and more committed to the sport than her male predecessor at Hills and certainly deserves her chance.
I’ve really got a spring in my step today. The thought of Hoodwink and Slimey being dead men walking is just too delicious to contemplate. Heck, even baldy might have to bow to public demand and stop doing his own nauseating PR and get some glamour model in instead.
I’m gonna set up my own recruitment agency to supply bookies with what they need. I might be able to stem the outflow of migrant workers, save on the bookie PR bills and get Slimey on the dole all in one fell swoop!
WANTED: EAST EUROPEAN WOMEN
– must be young and look more than a bit presentable
– you will be placed with a bookie, most likely a flimper (the old Boylesports law of expanding PR** ensures that these jobs are primarily with the more shocking firms)
– you will be required to say the following statements in front of camera while wearing a low cut blouse:
…"All the professionals have been on this Emma Lavelle horse, we laid a 60k-40k in one hand this morning….."
…"We lay all genuine customers, it’s just those pesky arbers that ruin it for everyone"
…"This christmas day swim in the Serpentine looks like being an absolute betting bonanza, so we’re opening all our shops on that day from 7am to accomodate demand"
– a morally lax attitude to repeatedly lieing is essential
– a morally lax attitude to many other things is a plus
– pay £6 an hour
– apply with piccy to jobs@glennsrecruitmentagency.co.uk** hot air expands to fill the vacuum of actual bets being laid
Have to admit I find some of your posts to be quite entertaining, in a perverse sort of way. Now if you could just clue me in as to who Hoodwink, Slimey and Baldy are and I might be even more amused. Thanks
David Hood, Simon Clare and Fred Done, presumably.
Unfortunately, Glenn still belongs in the Middle Ages, where it would be impossible for a woman to have the years of experience, training, enthusiasm and intelligence to be just as suitable for a job in racing as a man would be.
Or maybe he’s just bitter that he’s had yet another winning account closed, I’m not sure…..
Training? Intelligence? The only requirement for a job of bookie mouthpiece is the ability to lie compulsively.
As for experience – you never see any old ones do you? Proof that you can die of shame.
lol. Some strange people on here.
