Barry, the ATC has an inferior board and management team . The governance of the club is failing. I support the proposed Administration.

Courage and conviction! Please listen.
The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

🚨Enough is enough. The NO campaign has faced legal threats, been kicked off Rosehill for dropping flyers, and denied access to details. Meanwhile, @aus_turf_club employees and @racing_nsw directors are calling stakeholders to pressure a YES vote! This behaviour is completely un-Australian and un-democratic. @SaveRosehill_ 📣

Very true!
Reading about collapse of Enron, interesting quote " at what point does faith in a visionary devolve into group think? You have to very gutsy and it's challenging to ask questions" ...so true dissenters are howled down, most people tread the easy path.

Well said Gai . I don’t understand why the board are putting this ridiculous proposal to a vote . The ATC is a club formed for the primary purpose of horse racing.
The ATC EGM to decide the fate of Rosehill will be held on 3 April.  I urge all ATC members to exercise their right to vote and NOT to support the proposed sale of Rosehill 🗳️

Let’s hope this ugly saga is investigated by the NSW Government within the next few months. I’m certain that there is unanimous support for major changes at the top !
Hello again it's me a financial member who pays the wages of the the part time CEO..any advance on this issue? Anything happening to arrest the declining membership? Any reason trainers should keep paying their hard earned to fund an association that's at best an old boys club?

Has anyone provided valid reasons why interest in racing has declined over the past 60 years ?

Disgraceful!
Sad to read Canberra will miss out on hosting any Rugby World Cup games. Congrats Newcastle and Townsville.

Doesn’t RNSW regulate racing: the place for liars , cheats , undesirables and cowards! It would be a very interesting, riveting and at times exciting defamation action.
From @TTRAusNZ at least someone is asking some hard questions

The Report by the Select Committee into the Proposal to develop Rosehill Racecourse is now online. Five recommendations have been handed down, including consideration to establishing an inquiry into the operations of Racing NSW, and a review of the Thoroughbred Racing Act. 👀 Read more in tonight’s edition of TTR.

If the ATC won’t engage openly with its own members, who will they answer to? This election is our moment to demand transparency and accountability from leadership. Op-Ed on why I’ll be voting for Annette English and David Walter in the ATC election. ttrausnz.com.au/edition/2024…

It’s not surprising that he can’t read the room. Watch the LC enquiry tape . Widely disliked by the industry.
Really.....most of the industry participants, owners, punters etc are over 35 they work their arses off to provide the funding to the industry so the Everest can have obscene prizemoney. Do you really think this is appropriate, clever or funny promotion using our 💰?

Nasty and mean. Sack the incompetent board, mostly imposters .
Kick Collective has been denied media passes to the @aus_turf_club for the season, citing our views on the proposed Rosehill sale as 'not aligning' with the ATC. A disappointing attempt to restrict those in NSW racing who do not accept leadership's decisions.

This is the racing industry today!
Impossible to imagine for those of us who grew up in the seventies or prior to that, that in todays SMH, which actually gets Racing NSW funding, there is one lone article on racing, and that a single column only. No mention of the Gp1 clash in Melb at all between MrB and POJ. 🤷‍♂️
