With only online betting available now, think all major bookies are closed now, ladbrokes closed from today
Just because it's tradition does not make it right

I drove by Boylesports in town earlier and they were open? Yeah I thought it was only Ladbrokes due to stay open in the short term at least.

It will be interesting to see how long racing continues for mind, thus far it's all gone really well at various tracks but this could come to a halt very very quickly.

Imo it's the most logical thing to do, given the sheer size of these facilities, how human interaction/contact is extremely minimal and once your race is over be it for an owner/trainer/jockey you have to leave the racetrack immediately afterwards.

I think as soon as one of the jockeys gets the virus then that will be the end of it.

If the racing is behind closed doors will there be any need for on course bookies or the tote if there is no one on the course to back horses ? Can the Tote declare dividends or placepots if there are no one course betting ? GD, you're in the game, any ideas ?

It is and ye can’t see it lasting past the weekend. Johnny Ward was tweeting that an Irish stable that had been at Cheltenham had sent their staff home yesterday.

As mentioned, as soon as a jockey or close affiliate is confirmed to have a case it’ll be shut down overnight.

If you are betting on some of those , bar the Irish racing you need to be asking yourself serious questions!!
