The Board of Harness Racing Victoria has today received the report on the Audit of Harness Racing Victoria by Dale Monteith, as commissioned by the Minister for Racing the Hon Martin Pakula MP.
HRV Chairman Ken Latta said the Board has not yet had an opportunity to meet to discuss the recommendations and will do so in coming days.
“The HRV Board thanks Mr Monteith for the important work that he has done in compiling the report.
Importantly, Mr Monteith’s open approach encouraged anybody with a view to contribute.
There is now a call and an opportunity for the industry to focus on the future,” Mr Latta said.
“No doubt the report, with the 18 recommendations, will generate further discussion within the industry and between the Board and the Minister.
“Informed by this and Mr Monteith’s findings, the HRV Board will continue to work collaboratively with the Government to establish a blueprint for a stronger and more vibrant Harness Racing sport and industry into the future.”
