Racing not immune to reputational blows suffered by betting industry

And it’s why racing does have some skin in this reputational game due to collateral damage from gambling conglomerates indulging in skeevy behaviour.

If gambling is a primal instinct – just think of the schoolyard taunt “wanna bet?” – then rarely has its popular image been so ropy as it is now. Gambling firms have reaped what they’ve sown.

There are limits of course. No one’s going to try to flog washing powder by sponsoring a race or backing TV coverage.

TV coverage relies on it in a major way.
