		Mr Wong also praised the successful united front by ARF members in adopting the Good Neighbour Policy where the use of racing data or images for wagering purposes is only allowed with the express consent of the organisation staging the events and/or the relevant rights holders.
		Mr Chan said a similar preliminary framework had been agreed for racing in Hong Kong - a sport that has been too rigidly regulated for too long - and he hoped that the necessary legislative changes would be effective by the end of the year.
		A ‘Racing Trust Mark’ is on course to be established later this year whereby websites in compliance with the Good Neighbour Policy (also adopted as Article 28 of the IFHA) would receive a seal of approval as contributors to racing, unlike the illegal operators, Bruggink added.

	Autumn leaves punters cold - theage.com.au
		As the local horses get to gallop tomorrow at Sandown for the first time in some months after the departure of the last of the spring carnival's overseas horses, Racing Victoria Ltd and the three metropolitan race clubs are happily back-slapping and revelling in the after-glow of another record-breaking carnival.
		The 1600-metre race is one suggestion with the biggest potential to succeed, especially if a mooted Asian Racing Federation series gets off the ground in the next year or two.
		Racing Victoria would certainly welcome such a carnival as it has in place a wonderful quarantine centre that is clearly under-used.

	The Standard - Football bets make up for racing slump - Top Stories
		With just five meetings left to the end of the racing season, club officials admit they are expecting their lowest turnover in 12 years.
		But, in what is seen as a partial victory over illegal bookmakers and offshore betting syndicates, the revenue from horse racing and football combined is tantalizingly close to the all-time record of HK$92.35 billion set in 1997.
		Other projections indicate bets on horse racing can eventually pass the HK$100 billion mark should the changes be put in place quickly and the government allow offshore punters to bet directly on Hong Kong pools.
