Immoral and corrupt was all that was on offer last time I looked.
What do you mean by changed sides Marble .. the only side I am on is my own, isn’t everybody?
It may not take off, but nevertheless, there is a worldwide commingling movement bubbling under the surface right now. The Nanny could end up being worth a whole bundle more than it is now.
the 7-year exclusive licence certainly could be worth something.
less so the existing management, which seems to show disapointingly little initiative. by accident or design, that must be price-depressing.
here’s what HKJC is doing for its simulcast of just one race, the Champions Stakes, this Saturday:

and there aren’t even any HK runners in that race.
what’s the Nanny doing for the Canadian International on Saturday, which has several UK runners ?
what did it do for the Arc ?
what’s it going to do for the BC ?
I’ve often wondered what’s in it for other country’s co-mingling with our rancid tote.
Foreign money, particularly French money, seems to make up the lion’s share of our group one pools. I doubt you’d be able to buy a round of drinks with the money going in the opposite direction.
If they can get proper co-mingling with the Far East/North America (24/7 racing across the globe anyone?) then having an official monopoly is neither here or there from that point. They will have a monopoly on pool betting just as Betfair do on exchange betting.
Interesting interview with Andy Stewart on Get On today. He confirmed Cenkos Securities are still interested in acquiring the Tote but only if the T&C’s of the sale ensure a maximum benefit for racing.
Would be a welcome development imo.
