Racing boss Phil Siers faces legal bill for leak Mr Siers had lunch with Warwick Bartlett, a bookmaker, after leaving his post at Amalgamated Racing (AMRAC) to join Satellite Information Services, a rival firm broadcasting horse and dog racing to bookmakers. The case centred on a document containing sensitive pricing data which the judge said Mr Bartlett must have seen before publishing the article. "I am satisfied that Mr Bartlett had had either sight of, or been supplied with information as to the contents of [the report] when he wrote his draft article," the judge said. The clear purpose of the lunch was for Mr Siers to supply information to Mr Bartlett which would enable Mr Bartlett to write a piece unfavourable to Turf TV. Mr Siers" claims that the source of the leak might also have been discussions overheard in a bar or at a Christmas party "lacked any credibility," Judge Reid said.
