'No winds are blowing in our favour'. Sadly, that sentiment feels all too familiar for many involved in the horse racing industry.
From trainers and stable staff, to hospitality workers and racegoers, thousands of people depend on a thriving racing industry.
We asked those involved why policymakers need to better understand the realities of racing before introducing legislation that affects it.

Impressive! KING OF CHANGE gelding River King draws away @DoncasterRaces for @rhannonracing and @LeveySean 👑
Owned by Grande Motte. Bred by Forenaghts Stud & Jim Bolger.
Could he be a Lincoln contender?
Much too good!
River King came from some way back to overhaul Shipbourne before quickening clear for a ready success at @DoncasterRaces...

A powerful intervention from the head of the Army. Something is coming, and government needs to wake up.
He says the public will have to make sacrifices so we can prioritise defence and security.
This is no time for “national security can’t come at the expense of social security”. Hard choices are coming whether ministers like it or not.
I have been clear where I would start: cut welfare spending and put the money into defence.
