South Australian Racing Minister Michael Wright has called for racing to clean up its act, following an independent report by former Victorian racing administrator, Philip Bentley.
Bentley’s proposals, which include the setting up of a Super Club to run Thoroughbred racing in South Australia, were welcomed by Michael Wright who said: “Mr Bentley’s report followed concerns that the racing industry was continuing to ask the Government for help but at the same time it was not doing enough to help itself.
“The study found that Greyhound Racing SA has been very competent in managing its code but the gallops and trots both have plenty of work to do.
“I am giving Thoroughbred Racing SA and Harness Racing SA 30 days to respond to Mr Bentley’s recommendations and show cause why they should continue to operate as the controlling authorities for their particular code of racing.”
