An addiction treatment group says big horse racing events have a tendency to glamourise gambling.
It comes as the Cheltenham Festival is into its third day today.

Tabor Group counsellor Mick Devine says weeks like this can be detrimental for those with a gambling addiction:

"It does glamourise gambling, did an Irish horse win a race today or an Irish jockey or a trainer. And we attach significance to that and we think that's newsworthy or important and that gives us all an adrenaline rush."
