FOUR bookmakers were on Thursday told they were no longer welcome on subscription channel Racing UK in a dramatic heightening of British racing’s stand-off with bookmakers over the controversial authorised betting partners initiative.

Less than 24 hours before representatives of William Hill, Coral, Ladbrokes and Sky Bet were scheduled to attend a meeting with RUK to agree the next 12 months of paid-for appearances, the session was cancelled.

The betting operators, who have so far resisted overtures to achieve ABP status, were told the arrangement, which guaranteed branding and slots for the firm’s spokespeople on a rotating basis in return for a six-figure fee each, would cease from the end of this month if there is no change in their position.

The cancellation of the meeting at such short notice indicated a sudden hardening of the line being taken by the sport in its attempt to persuade more bookmakers to pay the sport a share of their remote betting business which is not subject to levy.
