From owners and trainers, to include a vet, a couple of  journalists, a bookmaker, and the Chairman of the Labour Party. If nothing else the 20 GBGB Ambassadors are a varied bunch.

The scheme was launched earlier in the month though the final list of acceptors has only just been released.

GBGB Managing Director Mark Bird said: “This isn’t necessarily a definitive list. Some of those on it, may decide it isn’t for them, and others may wish to be considered.”
