Can I bet on my own horse?
As an owner, you are allowed to bet on your own horses. France Galop permits this practice within a regulated framework to ensure transparency and fairness in racing.
However, certain rules must be respected:
- You may only place bets on races involving your horse for your own personal account.
- Bets must be placed through official and legal channels, such as licensed retail outlets and authorised online platforms.
- It is strictly forbidden to manipulate or influence your horse’s performance in order to profit from betting. Any attempt at fraud is severely penalised.
Betting on your own horses can add an extra dimension to the ownership experience, but it is essential to remain within the legal and transparent framework in order to protect the integrity of racing and public trust.
