Victor Chandler would like the French police to give him back his money, two years after they confiscated a few thousand euros on the Sunday afternoon of the 2007 Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe.

They placed the cash in sealed plastic bags and locked it away in a police safe. Presumably.

The off-shore bookmaker still wears with pride his 'Free The Longchamp Four' T-shirt as a reminder of the day his box at Longchamp was raided by guntoting gendarmes.


Horse sense: Chandler rails against racings reluctance to market itself properly

'It was quite surreal, really,' Chandler recalls. 'I was having lunch, minding my own business, when the police and officials arrived. Security had never been heavier, with President Sarkozy in attendance.

'We were questioned about whether we were accepting bets from Frenchmen (there is a state monopoly on racehorse gambling in France). Well, there were no Frenchmen in our box and, apart from the Tote bets we placed for the women in our party, everything was telephoned to our head officer in Gibraltar.

'They took all our money, then we went to my hotel (the exclusive George V) where they searched our rooms. I presume they were looking for cash and betting slips. They found nothing.

'But I still have not had my money returned, despite several letters from my lawyer. I want to give it to charity.'

Chandler will be back in his own racecourse box this week, swapping the chic style of Longchamp for the regal majesty of Royal Ascot. The Gentleman Bookie, as he is styled, would be far too discreet to tell any tales about his neighbours in the Royal Box.

Except that last year the Israeli ambassador escaped for a little of Chandler's hospitality. 'He came in for a fag and a whisky. I think the pressure in the Royal Box had been immense.'


The Sweeney are not expected to interrupt lunch. But a visit from the Ascot gestapo would not be beyond the bounds of possibility when they read what Chandler would like to do with the Royal meeting and, consequently, the long-established order of the English summer sporting season

'Racing has to wake up to the fact that the world has changed,' he says. 'The powers that be should find the nerve to move Royal Ascot. I would put it back a few weeks to July. Flat racing needs more time to build up to the big festival like Cheltenham does in National Hunt.

'A longer build-up would create heroes of horses and jockeys for the public. We need more trials for the Derby, more for the Oaks and more for Royal Ascot, so that the meeting becomes a true championship festival like Cheltenham.

'As (trainer) Richard Hannon, I think it was, said, the Flat season starts not with a bang but a fizz and then nothing.

'The Lincoln is followed by the Grand National. And then the trials start. There are not enough and they are not marketed properly, if at all. The big disaster is the lack of terrestrial TV coverage and the absence of television advertising. Every season people are trying to produce the ultimate racehorse from the great winners of the past and the great stallions. The story is there for people to market and very little is done.

'We need to forget about the dross and the betting-shop fodder and concentrate on our great races, great jockeys and champion horses. And we need a racing czar, or whatever, to sort out racing.'

Chandler is not putting himself forward for that role. With his wife, three young children, 23 Spanish horses, six dogs, four cats and 33 hectares near Sotogrande in southern Spain, he is about to embark on turning an old finca into paradise. That should take him a couple of years.

He will also be looking to find a Royal Ascot champion. The victory of Zaynar - owned with a few friends, including Carlos Tevez's agent Kia Joorabchian - in the Triumph Hurdle earlier this year has rekindled his enthusiasm for the game.

And then there is his business which, like everyone else, has been affected by the recession.

'There has been a significant decrease in turnover from the high roller,' he says. 'For example, I had one mammoth gambler phone up and say, "I owe you x; I will pay you off over the next 12 months. Stop me betting for the next year".

'The high rollers are intelligent people who treat it as a hobby. They are sensible enough to know when they can't afford it. They are by and large losers who win occasionally and are entertained by it.

'Some rich people buy a sailing boat and go sailing every weekend. Some play polo. Some want to sit at home on a Saturday afternoon and back horses.'

You would more likely see Victor Chandler on the back of a horse in the hills above Sotogrande.
