Racing NSW has appointed Mr John Rouse as temporary administrator of Wyong Race Club Limited pursuant to section 14(2)(g) of the Thoroughbred Racing Act 1996 (NSW) effective from 9am on Thursday 6th February 2014.
“Wyong has been like a festering boil waiting to explode for a while now. That the boil has been lanced and it’s time to move on” said NSWTA CEO Steve McMahon
“Safety for horses, riders and trainers must be paramount and Racing NSW have clearly taken this issue seriously.”
“The NSW Trainers Association looks forward to working with the Administrator and Racing NSW to ensure that Trainers and owners have access to the best possible facilities”
“With investigations, failure to deliver a promised training pool, loss of the CEO and race course curator, It’s been a difficult period and we now need everyone working together to ensure a successful future for Wyong and racing on the Central Coast”
