This is a new one. Some may say I'm being cynical, but .....go racing and find a partner? Come on!

One of the 1st things one's partner would like is No Gambling!

Looking at Dom's background view he probably needs to leave after the interview to get to Wolves in time.

That was the past eg no online betting, fobt, etc. The present horserace meetings are so expensive eg entry fee, parking, food, etc. Also, they could be shared with music events where excessive drinking is common with little knowledge or interest in horseracing principally.

A horserace meeting can be an enjoyable occasion esp with children, but meeting a partner? It's akin to meeting a future partner in Alcoholic Anonymous or Gambling Addiction sessions.

I'd imagine on these summer festival & saturday meetings you'd get a partner included with your ticket.

Meet partner somewhere cheap (used to be work or pub, now a dating app) but then take the partner somewhere classy and visibly expensive to show you are both generous and a good provider. Classic.

Yes, I did, esp youngsters with not a fully developed mind or maturity. I think apprenticeship or uni beckons 1st.

Newbury seems a popular place, loper not alone in that.   I always think a sports venue is the best place for a woman to meet a man.  Plenty of choice, but the good looking ones would likely be already taken.  Nobody should get married before 30.

The punter Ollie interviewed on tv just now referenced Aussie betting minimum acceptance for our online bookies.

How true? Otherwise horseracing levy can only go south further. I've given it a rest because of trickery and sharp practice of 'ladcrooks'.
Report impossible123 January 3, 2026 3:29 PM GMT
An owner on tv stated less horseracing to encourage a larger field eg one of his horses started at 1/6 2x. Two common sense from two common people associated with horseracing daily ie a punter and an owner.

The point is how many of the new racegoers will return ??  My guess is not many unless the food and drink prices are reduced.
