Bloomberg•6 days agoAll Bets Are Off. Equine Flu Outbreak Shuts Britain’s Racetracks
The British Horseracing Authority, the sport’s governing body, says there will be no resumption until Wednesday at the earliest while tests are conducted on thoroughbreds across the country. On Saturday, the BHA identified the flu strain as “Florida Clade 1,” which is endemic to North and South America. The BHA’s chief regulatory officer, Brant Dunshea, told Sky News the equine flu outbreak in Australia in 2007 brought racing to a halt in Melbourne -- home of the country’s biggest race -- for a week, and disrupted races for “much longer” in other parts of the country.

Equine Flu Has Shut Down Britain’s Horse Racing This Weekend
An outbreak of equine flu means the sport remains shut down, as it has been since Thursday. Governing body, the British Horseracing Authority, says there will be no resumption until Wednesday at the earliest while tests are conducted on thoroughbreds across the country. For bookmakers William Hill Plc, Paddy Power Betfair Plc, and Ladbrokes owner GVC Holdings Plc, the cancellations are a blow, though maybe not a major one.
Reuters•25 days agoWilliam Hill set to revamp retail business as 2018 profit falls
The company had cut its profit forecast in November due to tightening regulations at home, particularly on lucrative fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs), and warned of more losses in the United States. William Hill said 2018 adjusted operating profit from continuing operations would be 234 million pounds, slightly higher than company-supplied analyst estimates of 232.2 million pounds. Profit was lower in its retail business due to tough high-street conditions and the offering would be remodelled in 2019 as Chief Executive Officer Philip Bowcock looks to make the firm a "digitally-led international business", the company said.

British bookmaker William Hill Plc suspended betting on the year that Prime Minister Theresa May will leave office, it said on Friday, amid speculation that she will face a confidence vote as she defended her draft Brexit deal. "After the press conference on Thursday night, we thought Theresa had probably saved her job, but that is perhaps no longer the case," William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said in a statement. "It's almost impossible for us to predict what's going to happen," Adams told Reuters by phone, explaining that due to the uncertainty, the bookmaker was not able to price the different outcomes.
