"Jumps jockey Paul Hamblin has been charged by Racing Victoria stewards following an investigation into betting activity. .......The jockey has been charged with breaching AR 83(c) which states that 'every jockey or apprentice may be penalised if they bet.'

Hamblin is believed to have placed a number of bets on thoroughbred horse races during April this year.............His licence to ride has been suspended pending a hearing of the charge by the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board,"

Apparently bets total $650.00 ish

i think in italy they are still allowed to bet, they certainly used to be
