Racecourses should be ashamed of stable staff treatment

I read what Charlie Fellowes had to say about overnight conditions for stable staff at Beverley racecourse and I echo his comments 100 per cent.

How can any racecourse ask people to stay in some place like that? Those that do so should be ashamed of themselves.

I'm also adamant that no staff should be having to pay for their food at the races – where they have to do so it's a disgrace as well. I see all the gatemen get their lunch – their sandwich, drink and crisps – and they work on the racecourse. Owners get fed, trainers get fed and so do the media as well.
