I can't stand the UKGC. Also, not to mention the fact that there are already enough rules and regulations in place. They're going to suffocate our industry if they continue to take things further! Great show JT.

Sunak is getting involved... sort of.

He's got his MP hat on rather than Chancellor but has been offering support to Catterick Racecourse who are worried about the potential cost to the racing industry if the new affordability checks are introduced.

Constituents aside, I can't imagine he's going to want to have to fill a big gambling hole in the budget right now so this seems like a pretty clever move by the racing industry.
