Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
As predicted, Harness Racing NSW has lodged an application in the Supreme Court for Judicial Review of the recent Racing Appeals Tribunal decision in the Ben Sarina case. They sort of had to, for the Tribunal’s determination that disqualified or warned off former licensees are not bound by or subject to the rules of harness […]
Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it. – George Bernard Shaw Did the new Australian Turf Club Chairman, Directors, and their members and allies really imagine that they could pass up the offer of a lifetime to sell Rosehill for billions of dollars, and turn the Vote No campaign into a series […]
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Dear NSW Racing Industry participants, Unfortunately, there has been much misinformation relating to the Australian Turf Club (ATC) and why Racing NSW has issued a Show Cause Notice as to why the ATC should not be put into administration.
