209: Amo's spending spree takes racing by storm | The Front Page | Horse Racing News | Racing Post
Update: 2024-10-14
Description
Kia Joorabchian's colossal spending spree, a controversial Cesarewitch and fears over a tax raid on bookmakers are all up for discussion in this week's edition of The Front Page.
Lee Mottershead, Jonathan Harding and David Jennings kick things off by looking at last week's explosive yearling sale in Newmarket, where Amo Racing's Joorabchian spent over £24 million, in the process thwarting bloodstock superpowers Coolmore and Godolphin. We examine why he did it and where it might lead?
Next up is a review of the Future Champions Festival at Newmarket, where Alphonse Le Grande won a Cesarewitch he might lose on Tuesday due to his rider's use of the whip. We ask if the system needs changing and reflect on the Dewhurst Stakes and Fillies' Mile.
Finally, we look at reports suggesting the government is considering major increases in betting duty that could decimate British racing's finances. We assess just how bad that could be for the sport.
