Kalshi is rolling out a fresh set of guardrails for its sports and political betting markets, introducing measures to preemptively block politicians, athletes, and other relevant people from trading in certain markets.

Derek Thompson was one of the best-known sports broadcasters in Britain and Ireland back in 1983 when he suddenly got a call in the middle of the night about the vanished wonder horse Shergar.

The stewards' inquiry into the incident is expected to resume at the course this morning and there could presumably be a result well before De Boinville heads out for the first of his two rides on the card: Impose Toi in the Stayers' Hurdle at 3.20pm (all times GMT), and the ever-popular Jonbon in the Ryanair Chase at 4pm.

Ludwick interviewed some of the athletes involved. Then, he declined to continue as part of the case after believing that some of the information uncovered was obtained illegally. The lawsuit notes that others in the department were also concerned about the legality of the investigation. Additionally, Ludwick alleged the DCI began investigating him after his testimony for violating policy.

The horse ranch, on nearly 20 acres about eight miles from Malibu, has a Mediterranean-style, 10,000-square-foot house, newly built when Arnold bought the property in April 1995 for $2.5 million. He has close to $4 million in the property, sources say. Among his additions is a full gym. Situated in a gate-guarded community, the ranch also has a tennis court, pool and long, private drive.

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission approved the fines in a unanimous 5-0 vote during its March 12 public meeting, saying the enforcement actions are intended to strengthen operator compliance and reinforce consumer protections in the state's legal betting market.

Mr Comer, who lives in Monaco, received a three-year horse-racing ban and substantial fines after 12 of his horses were found to have failed drug tests, in one of the biggest horse doping cases of its kind. Mr Comer insisted he was innocent but lost his appeal in 2024.

Jalen Smith appeared in federal court in Philadelphia and pleaded guilty to wire fraud and bribery charges, becoming the first of 26 people charged in the scheme to formally do so. It came a week before the start of March Madness, in which bettors will wager billions legally - and illegally - on the 68 college basketball teams in the tournament.

With pre-Cheltenham purdah fast approaching, the Ladbrokes Trophy Handicap Chase at Kempton on Saturday could well be the most competitive betting heat for the next two-and-a-half weeks and Emmet Mullins's decision to field two runners in the 13-strong field adds a further layer of complexity to the puzzle. Mullins has a well-earned reputation for sliding contenders into handicaps at Cheltenham and Aintree on very competitive marks, but his Kempton record three wins from five runners is not too shabby either.

We've had a look at a fresh line of the hurdle track right out beside the chase track, Graffin said on Friday. In my opinion, this line is currently fit to race despite 22mm of rain last night. However, we do have the potential for a further 10-20mm of rain. We would like to get a bit of luck with that, but it is currently fit to race.

The regulators say an investigation found the company accepted 426 in-play bets across 32 tennis matches between February 2024 and June 2025. However, they highlight that online in-play betting, where wagers are made on a sporting event after it has commenced, isn't allowed in Australia under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. The in-play sports bets that were allegedly found in the investigation were described to have been accepted in breach of the IGA and were voided by Tabcorp and the bets refunded.
