Anybody have an inkling what its about?Can only presume they insisted on being the only bookmaker sponsor on the day for a commitment of £500k+.Noticed the article saying Betfair was also involved in discussions re sponsoring the Champion Hurdle.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/25902269/cheltenham-announcement-at-henderson-stable-on-28th-sept?post_id=467892397#467892397Can only presume they insisted on being the only bookmaker sponsor on the day for a commitment of £500k+.Noticed the article saying Betfair was also involved in discussions re sponsoring the Champion Hurdle.Mon, 27 Sep 2010 13:43:22 -0500Yeah, seems a bit extreme to me.

Racing needs every sponsor it can get and to kick one in the goolies at the expense of another (even if both are bookies) is downright daft. I hope its not true.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/25902269/cheltenham-announcement-at-henderson-stable-on-28th-sept?post_id=467874865#467874865Me2: surely that's not what's going to happen?
