9.24am: Betfair announce they will no longer be continuing their association with Gordon Elliott in the wake of the release of an image of the Grand National-winning trainer on social media.

“While we recognise that Gordon deeply regrets and apologised unreservedly for his poor judgement his actions are completely at odds with the values of the Betfair brand and that of our employees,” the leading bookmaker says in a statement. “With that in mind, we have decided to discontinue our association with Gordon with immediate effect.”
