The Horseracing Bettors Forum (HBF) has invited applications from the racing and betting community to replace its outgoing members.
The move follows part of a planned ‘periodic refresh’ of its membership. The HBF was established in September 2015 to represent the views of those who bet on British horseracing, and to act on behalf of bettors with the sport’s policymakers.
Sean Trivass, Chair of HBF, expressed how the HBF remains an “important voice” for punters within horseracing at this pivotal moment for the sport.
“Once again, we are looking to renew our membership, and ensure we have new blood and new ideas in the forum.
“The forum is keen to receive applications from people with a wide range of interest and experience in betting, and we would welcome applications from those who have traditionally tended to be under-represented within betting and horseracing.”
The group highlighted preferences in applicants, some of which include: Demonstrating a proven interest in matters of concern to the British horseracing betting public, and providing evidence of understanding/experience of topical subject matters impacting the British racing betting landscape.
The closing date for applications is 22 November 2024, with a view to new members joining HBF from the 1 January 2025.
Trivass concluded: “I would be delighted to speak to anyone interested in applying to join the HBF if they would like more information before submitting an application. I can be contacted at [email protected].”
