BBC Radio 4 Ends Daily Racing Tips After 47 Years

The Today programme will now reserve horse racing tips for major events, citing the need to balance sports coverage.

The daily racing tips segment on BBC Radio 4's Today programme has been discontinued after nearly five decades.
Tips will now be provided only for significant racing events such as the Grand National and Cheltenham Gold Cup.
The decision follows the retirement of long-time sports presenter Garry Richardson.
BBC officials deny the change is related to gambling concerns, focusing instead on diversifying sports coverage.
The move has sparked mixed reactions, with some lamenting the loss of a beloved tradition.
