    Interesting, case taking place in Gibraltar with regards to the offshore-based arm of "Betfred":-

    Great stuff,

    Matron

    – thank you!

    I liked this bit particularly:

    One trenchant observer, Charlie Brooks, the former trainer, jockey and now newspaper columnist, recently described Gibraltar as "that parasitic rock which is sucking the blood out of British racing like a tick".

    Very interesting article.

    One cannot help feeling that Betfred have not done themselves any favours by refusing to pay out.

    I’m sure even gambling commissioners in outer space will have heard of the legendary and affable Mr Curley.
