Just reading that the Stawell Gift Committee has banned all On Course Bookmakers from this years 2024 Stawell Gift . The reason is that they have to protect the Integrety of professional running . Granted the bookies on track has done themselves no favours in the recent past by betting crazy %180 markets on the various heats and finals it was still a good way for the public to have a interest on track . Just another final nail being hammered in the On Course Bookies Coffin .

Reason is Victorian rules now prohibit betting on under 18 athletes in individual events.
