Block on bookies sponsoring jockeys
14 years 2 weeks ago
An old article
BOOKMAKERS are to be barred from sponsoring jockeys, trainers or owners, the BHB revealed.
The move has been made in the wake of serious concerns raised by Victor Chandler's proposed sponsorship of champion jockey Kieren Fallon, which the rider subsequently terminated because of adverse publicity.

Correct. There's never (yet) been a problem with it.

WinningForm sponsors jockeys... a publication
Jeff Lloyd once carried the Hollywood logo, if i remember, and this was replaced by WinningForm as it did not breach the rules.

Punters Verdict
Can you imagine a situation ever occurring where a jockey knows
he's on a 'live' one and yet his sponsoring bookmaker is the biggest
price on the block about the horse - exposed to a savage caning from
the market?
Bookmakers will NOT be paying jockeys to keep quiet about their
rides. The bookmaker is paying for a working relationship - and he
will expect to know in advance (however informally) what a jockey
thinks about his chances on a horse, how it has been prepared, what
the expectation is in the yard... so that he can position himself in
the market accordingly and maximize his profit. That's what works
for the bookie. There's a commercial imperative involved for the bookmaker and it can work no other way.

Tero I believe that it would be more profitable for the sponsor to pay the jock NOT to tip to them...you talk as though you believe that jocks have got tomorrows paper...there are at least 10 posters on this site that i will back in a tipping comp against any jock you care to mention..you need to get it out of your head that listening to jockeys will be profitable..
Give everything but up!
