Great to see this feature by Catherine Macrae this International Women's Day as we continue to take affirmative action to make Spotlight Sports Group - and the racing and sports industry - a more inclusive place for everyone.
From Dorothy Paget's eccentric brilliance to Rachael Blackmore's record-breaking triumphs, the story of women at the Cheltenham Festival is one of resilience, talent and sheer determination. For International Women's Day, one of the Racing Post's brightest young writers, Catherine Macrae, has written a fantastic piece on the trailblazers who have shaped racing history at the festival: owners, trainers and jockeys who never accepted limits on their ambition.

Spotlight Sports Group reposted this
Want to know what 10,000 horseracing fans think about the sport and betting? That's how many people responded to the second edition of the Racing Post's Big Punting Survey, and the results were by turns illuminating and alarming. Today's first tranche of results focused on the black market and affordability checks, revealing: 📢 More than 1 in 3 of the highest-staking bettors admit to using a black market bookmaker in the last 12 months 🚨 The share of all punters who say they’ve used an illegal operator has increased by more than a third in the last two years to 4.9% 📈 24% of bettors have been subject to affordability checks, up from 17% in 2023 🚫 61% of those confronted by a check refused to provide the requested financial information, while only 50% of those who complied received a satisfactory deposit limit ⚠️ 64% said their decision to use the black market was a direct response to an affordability check 🔒 44% of bettors have had restrictions placed on at least one account, rising from 35% two years ago 📉 29% of respondents said their betting on racing had declined in the last six months, up from 25% As regulation tightens, punters unsurprisingly turn to alternative ways to bet. What does this mean for racing and the regulated sector? How should they and government respond to this clear shift?
