How I beat the ROA's £1.2m mess in just an hour with a few friends on Zoom

It has been two weeks since the Racehorse Owners Association (ROA) launched its overpriced, underwhelming strategy for resolving the issue of declining ownership numbers in British racing.

While the ROA has offered a spirited defence of its proposal, it has been greeted poorly across much of the industry with its failure to produce a tangible set of measurable and budgeted targets despite three years of work and £1.2 million of Levy Board money.

One of the more striking comments in the aftermath of the publication was from Phil Cunningham, an insurance entrepreneur who owned 2,000 Guineas winner Cockney Rebel and now heads up the Rebel Racing enterprise.
