punters are supporting the jockeys by declaring next saturday (29th) National No Bet Day.

Wm Hill joined in by saying it was OK as long as punters bet on other sports.

Can't really see it catching on here at Betfair though.

Worth noting that James Millman will respond to nearly all Tweets - as for the rest of them most of them are take out merchants and that is evidenced by the corruption hearings currently happening.

Agree watchit - nice, pleasant chap who's open about the yards horses and is a decent motor racing driver by all accounts too.

metro john the person who seems to be organising all of this on twitter is somebody called #nopuntersnoracing
sounds like username only set up for this punters strike.

there seems to be a few jockeys getting involved but then again, they won't be doing anything different next weekend.
they're basically encouraging the punters to strike for them.

Not sure this is just another attempt by media individuals to find thereselves some work? any news or opinion is everything to these desperate individuals.(but makes them a few quid)

Watchit is spot on with some of his comments. Maybe after we've saved the jockeys we could get together to support the fraudsters in the financial sector.
