Sport is made for betting

The Horseplayers Association of North America are staging another of their Pool Parties tonight. The idea of this concept is to promote specific races so their members and racing fans who want to see a better deal for punters can show the weight of their money. Let's face it, a boycott is never going to work, there are too many punters who will bet on anything. Tonight's race is Mountaineer Park Race 2, which runs at around 00.25 UK time. Use UK bookmakers who bet directly into the pools so your bets will count - for free formsheets, visit here

It's time to support our American racing friends at Chicago's Arlington Park. Get behind their campaign for more respect from track owners and hopefully reduce the obscene takeout on some of their tote pools.

Tonight the Horseplayers Association of North America (HANA, the American punters' rights lobby group) is targetting a stakes race at Churchill Downs for their pool party . The Pool Party, or buycott, is designed to make track owners sit up and notice the lobby groups have some power, and that tote punters in the US are sick and tired of high takeout margins. Support the cause, you can bet into the US pools via most UK bookmakers.

Once again, our American punting friends are encouraging action on a specific race, in order to lobby for more respect from racing authorities. The race is Canterbury Park Race 8 - details and free formsheets to be found here . It runs at around 11pm UK time. More power to the punter!
