Racing Victoria has appointed a bloke who runs the netball in NSW as it’s new CEO to replace Giles Thompson, after the latter lost the battle with Peter V’Landys and walked the plank. Netball hey? That’s interesting. Let’s hope Andrew Jones (pictured at top) does a better job that his predecessor did, for despite the […]
