On the same day Mr Roy and the BHA put out a statement calling Betfair "disruptive" his private equity business NewSmith Capital was investing up to £50m in the company.

Through the BHA and the Horseracing Betting Levy Board, Mr Roy has been in open conflict with Betfair over its contribution to the levy.

Yesterday he claimed Betfair had disrupted British racing's finances and warned other countries about allowing it to operate in their jurisdictions.

THE NASS NEWSLETTER NUMBER 16 NOVEMBER 2010

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION STABLE STAFF (nass) THE NEW NAME REPLACING WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS ‘THE STABLE LADS ASSOCIATION. (SLA)’ But is this the right name? Does it portray the true picture of the key part played by all professional handler/riders? NO it does not.

The complimentary photograph on this newsletter shows George McGrath a true professional handler/rider achiever sitting alongside Jim Cornelius, Chief Executive of NASS, (Trade Union Status) whilst they work things through together. Perhaps this one photograph shows above all else, the way forward and how to go about achieve the true balance within the regulation of British horseracing, and how to keep things safe and progressive within British horseracing.

PEOPLE SKILLS IN THEORY AND IN PRACTICE

The British Government, the British Horseracing Authority, and the World Banks all totally out of touch with the lives of all those who go out each and every day and carry out an honest days work, often for a mean wage.
 ALL THESE AUHORITIES SHOULD HANG THEIR HEADS IN SHAME




WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ALL THE YOUNG ONES IN YEARS TO COME?
