No early prices at Chepstow on Thursday as Flutter reignites media rights war with Arc
The media rights row between gambling giant Flutter Entertainment and major racecourse group Arena Racing Company (Arc) has flared into life again with the news that two major bookmaker brands will not be offering early prices for Thursday's meeting at Chepstow.
Instead, Sky Bet and Paddy Power will offer odds only in the minutes leading up to the races at the Arc-owned track, as well as streaming the six contests.
