The past month has simultaneously exposed the very best and worst of the gambling world. The ugly side of betting has been exposed time and again in recent months, with people rushing to lay dead horses in ante-post betting markets on the exchanges.

A dead horse clearly won’t be winning April’s Grand National. It has seemed distasteful, though, to have less scrupulous punters making a fast buck if they react quickly enough to serious injuries to horses.
