After Fedor Holz announces a partnership with partypoker, Lee Davy, shares his opinion that the collaboration will benefit poker more than Neymar Jr did during his time with PokerStars.

With the remnants of Hurricane Harvey pushing through the Northeast Sept. 3, trainer Steve Asmussen’s Vertical Oak drew off to a 5 1/4-length victory in a very sloppy edition of the $250,000 Prioress Stakes (G2) at Saratoga Race Course.

UK gambling firms were among the top providers of free gifts and hospitality to Members of Parliament, with Ladbrokes Coral making more individual donations than any company in any sector.
Friday saw the release of declarations in the Register of Members’ Interests, the annual list of freebies that MPs are required to reveal if the total of such gifts from a single source tops £300 over a one-year period.
This year’s list included 187 donations from UK sources, of which more than 10% (19) came from betting companies. Ladbrokes Coral accounted for 15 of the betting firms’ comps, all of which went to just four MPs, including eight to Tory Phillip Davies, who chairs the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Betting and Gaming.
These freebies included MPs receiving trips to races at Ascot, Doncaster and Cheltenham, the Football Association’s Community Shield event at Wembley Stadium, and dinner at the Conservative Party’s annual conference. Altogether, Ladbrokes Coral’s largesse toward these four MPs totaled £7,475. It’s worth noting that this sum was only large enough to give Lads Coral seventh place on the list of donations by total value.
