Nine years ago, Chapapote one of the greatest greyhounds in Spain and a champion of different occasions went on missing. It was alleged that the greyhound was stolen by unidentified assailants with search and rescue operations by the police having no end until 2013. However, exactly nine years after the champion was stolen, his DNA emerged in one of greyhound events held in Spain. Reports from the Local claimed that two greyhounds that were set to take part in the event possessed Chapapote’s DNA. This called for a massive action to be initiated which prompted the cancellation of the event.

Chaos erupted and the case was presented to the nation’s sports tribunal who will have to sit down and decide on the fate of the event; if it should go on or not. One owner of the two dogs in subject told the Marca newspaper that he had no idea the breed from which his dog came from. He continued to argue that most of greyhound owners are in his similar situation where they have no idea of which breed fathered their dogs. He added that there are other greyhounds that have raced in Spain and some have still been identified to have Chapapote DNA.

The popular race Chapapote vanished and later in 2013 when the police recovered him claimed that it was a group of breeding gang had stolen him. They recovered the champion in a black market when he was about to be sold to other breeding gangs b his assailants. Activist groups who cared for the well being of animals had tabled a motion on how these greyhounds have been mistreated and urged the Spanish government to initiate various methods in curbing the issue.

A British charity that is sponsored by Ricky Gervais and Judi Dench has initiated a strategy to save the lives of some of mistreated greyhounds who are sometimes burnt with acid and cigarettes, others left alone to wander in busy motorways, others hanged on trees while others are left in tunnels to die. Some have had serious injuries with broken limbs, open wounds with others suffering from starvation related diseases after many days without food.

Coral had tried to incorporate the 7.5% flat offer on its online as well as retail horseracing profits which was later dispelled by the British Horseracing Authority. This follows the introduction of the Authorized Betting Partner Scheme (ABT). This scheme by the British Authority claims that all bookmakers should pay a substantial amount that the authority stipulates failure to which they will be subjected to no event sponsorship deal.

The Authority however failed to bring out the real percentage that bookmakers should pay which is seen by these bookmakers as a way their profits are being exploited. This comes after the betting shops were awarded with 10.75% pay to British Horseracing Authority with the exception of the online business.

Chief Executive at Coral Carl Leaver sent a letter to the Authority claiming that his firm was willing to pay 7.5% of all the profits accrued. He further cited his negative idea on the new scheme of ABT which he claimed to be a way of making bookmakers pay more than what they are supposed to. 7.5% is between 10.75% which betting shops pay as well as 5% paid by online operators. This seemed to be an appealing value in standardizing all profits that a company should be levied by the British Authorities.

Nick Rust, Chief Executive of the British Horseracing Authority claimed that they remained firm on their scheme and he hoped that that entire firm at loggerheads will see the benefits accrued by ABT and all bookmakers have the right to be open and stage their queries.

A spokesperson from Ladbrokes came out in defense of Coral who will be their future merge claiming that the arguments represented by Coral are genuine and this will be fundamental in recognizing the main viable reality represented in their daily market as well as bringing justice to the present.

Ladbroke may also lose its sponsorship of the Cheltenham festival if it fails to abide to the new policies stipulated by the ABP before March. Sponsorship deal have now become the subject of the day as bookmakers will be forced to dig deep into their pocked by the racing in order to acquire the right to sponsor certain events.
