Owners and trainers yes, jockeys no.

Owners and trainers yes, jockeys no.

Ta that seems a bit dodgy to me still, so the owner could back horse not to win?

If a trainer or owner backs their own horse to lose I believe bookies and exchanges are duty bound to report it to the racing authorities.

Owners and trainers can’t lay (back to lose) their horses.

Ta, and without over thinking it, are the allowed to bet on other horses to win in the same race if you see where I am coming from?

They can, it’s laying on the exchanges and passing information to bookies in exchange for enhanced odds that will land you in trouble.

Risk and reward. There are other “acceptable” forms of cheating in racing though, the main one is trying to drop your handicap mark by running in unsuitable races (distances and going) and getting beaten on purpose. In a gambling driven industry there are always people who’ll try and gain an unfair advantage.

I'm not sure what else you're looking for. He has historical and current valid sources of income. Whilst we don't have a signed statement from him on his accounts it's not exactly heresay.

as i say, looking for some corroborable information. makes a small fortune with online gambling, [big gap], has billions. property investment is cited but no actual property noted. the Starlizard business gives a way to amass a large fortune anonymously, but was dismissed as not the source of wealth.

But can any of them play left back ?

I guess they over-ordered for the 2019-2020 season

 

[The Fits]

Lovely.
I hope we sign an African this summer.

Uncle Tone let Starlizard employees & families have a tournament at the Amex yesterday I believe. What a boss

I reckon a fair few people, myself included, saw that awful sponsor patch and gave that kit a swerve

That shirts didn’t have a patch, there is a white space between the stripes and the Amex logo is heat pressed, same as this year and last year. My guess is that shirt was during Covid so perhaps fewer people went with the expense at a time when things were uncertain, and there were not many games to go to.

I love that kit. Best kit we've had for years.

Oh! I thought it was the other one.

Kit aid is a great organisation- we got a fantastic donation from them for our charity a few years ago.
