Amazing how a total brain dead spastic manages to put so much detail into commenting on an event where he was not even present. The flag was upside down. I went in the racecourse office and politely told them so. At some point not immediately afterwards I saw a man taking the flag down and putting it back up. It seems logical to conclude that the two incidents were related. I guess you did not fancy City Of Troy since you did not even mention it and it is an easily verified matter of record that you were not posting on the Racing Forum about the Derby so at least you avoided looking like a total prat.
Can anyone just wander into the office or did you have to tell some sort of security how important and urgent a matter it was and they insisted you deliver the information yourself?
Do tell us all where in the Gambling Act 2005 it states that using privileged knowledge to bet is illegal. I reckon Michael Tabor has probably made a fair few quid over the years with ante post bets on horses trained by Aidan O’Brien, especially since he has a say in where and when they run, a privilege that other punters do not share.
It seems like the Torygraph have decided that it is time to point out the bleeding obvious to Reform voters to try and save the Tories: People who vote Reform will get the opposite of what they want Nick Timothy, prospective Conservative candidate in West Suffolk, tells them that if they split the Right vote, then they will end up with Labour MP in many places. As it stands, Tory plus Reform in 134 seats is greater than Labour, so Dame Beer Korma’s Changed Communists will get thirty per cent more seats by taking them all and are on target for 425. The problem with this is that he has chosen the wrong place to have the article run (i.e. the paper for which he normally writes). It would have been better in one of the tabloids such as the Daily Express, Daily Fail or The Sun as they are more likely the homes of Farage fans.
If you work at a stables in Newmarket and you put a flutter on an outsider you're training because you know it's excelling during its gallops, then that is okay. If, a week later, you put a bet on it being pulled out of its next race because you know it got injured in training but nobody yet knows that information publicly, then that is not okay. It's that simple. It's like putting a bet on a train being lost when I was on shift as a Rail Controller - you knew it was a dead cert and you had insider knowledge that I was on the Units desk.

Video footage of the MASSIVE missile strike Ukraine conducted on the beach in Crimea. It definitely wasn't fragments from an air defence missile hitting it.
The Tories have dropped support for a couple of candidates in this betting scandal rather than ranting about the 2005 Gambling Act or even demanding access to the offices of York racecourse. More updates as I get them.
