William Hill Wins Data Rights Court Fight
Last updated: 13/03/2008 16:29
The British Horseracing Board's plans for the future funding of the sport have suffered a huge blow after it lost a court battle over data rights.
The Court of Appeal has upheld a ruling that bookmakers William Hill should not have to pay for using data such as lists of runners and riders.
The BHB had planned to fund racing using a system based on selling such data to the gambling industry.
Racing is currently funded by the levy system, which is being abolished.
Under the levy system, bookmakers return a percentage of their profits to the sport.
William Hill said in a statement that it was "pleased" with the Court of Appeal's verdict.
