‘I love riding horses. It’s amazing I found something that’s a passion which is a job as well. It’s all I ever wanted to do’ - @loughnane_billy
Billy ‘The Kid’ Loughnane had a dream. Aged 20, it comes true @Ascot on Saturday - the youngest champion jockey for 102 years

Betting shops are licensed, regulated, taxed, and employ tens of thousands of people.
Grouping them with “dodgy businesses” isn’t a serious description of a regulated sector.
It’s also aimed at the wrong target. Betting shops: 8,822 → 5,872 over the decade. Adult gaming: 1,610 → 1,502. Barbers: 2,953 → 18,078. Takeaways: 2,882 → 13,478.
Whatever has reshaped the high street, it isn’t gambling premises. And with each new announcement, more jobs are lost.
Vape shops. Betting shops. Dodgy businesses.
If you look at your high street these days and think ‘who asked for this?’, you’re not alone.
I’m doing something about it. We’re giving local people and councils more control over what opens, and tougher powers to crack down on businesses that aren’t good for our communities.
For too long, Westminster has stood by while our high streets declined. That ends now.

When Andy Burnham was born, there were 15,644 betting shops.
When he first became an MP there were 8,756 betting shops.
There are now 5,669 betting shops and he wants to tackle their "proliferation".
There's no excuse for this kind of ignorance.
"There's a real concern about high streets that have been hollowed out, particularly in former industrial areas."
Andy Burnham wants to make it harder for new vape shops and betting shops to open in England, as he seeks to revive the high street

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The number of betting shops in the UK has been declining since 2015, down from 8,995 to 5,932 in 2024.

ARC's business model is built on volume. More fixtures, more all-weather racing, more cards squeezed into the schedule until the fixture list resembles the terms and conditions of a mobile phone contract

@stratfordraces 0-125 handicap hurdle today worth £5,624 today. This is compared to £9,495 in 2017 when it was a 0-130. Stratford’s prizemoney is consistently poor and their MD is an @TheRCA board member.

Hi all and Happy New Year!
Currently trying to collect some data for my undergraduate research project exploring any association between injury, risk of injury and mental health in NH jockeys.
I would really appreciate if this could be shared!
Thank you 🫶🏽
