Jim Mullen, the former CEO of Ladbrokes Coral, has been appointed Jockey Club group chief, bringing an end to the search for Nevin Truesdale's successor. Mullen joins the Jockey Club from Reach plc, the largest commercial news publisher in the UK and Ireland, where he has been chief executive since 2019. He will succeed interim group chief executive Charlie Boss, who has been in the post since December 2024, following Truesdale's decision to step down at the end of last year. Mullen, 54, will leave Reach plc, which runs more than 120 publishing brands including the Mirror, Daily Express, Daily Record and Daily Star, and begin his new role with British horseracing's largest commercial organisation and employer on June 1. Speaking about his appointment, Mullen said, “While The Jockey Club will be known to many as one of the most prestigious and established organisations in British sport, it is also a forward-thinking and exciting business with its focus firmly on the future. “As a lifelong horseracing fan who has spent some of the best days of my life on racecourses, I could not be more proud to join The Jockey Club's passionate and dedicated team through what I hope will be an exciting new chapter. “Publishing and horseracing might appear to be two very different industries on the surface. However, they share a focus on providing value and quality for the customer while nurturing happy and motivated teams across multiple sites and I am passionate about delivering both. “I would like to thank all my colleagues at Reach for their hard work and all that has been achieved together over the past six years. I now look forward to forging new relationships in horseracing and renewing others developed during my time in the gambling industry.” The post Jim Mullen Appointed Group Chief Executive At The Jockey Club appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Exactly a week after long-time ante-post 2,000 Guineas favourite The Lion In Winter was ruled out of the race by Aidan O'Brien, Godolphin has revealed that the Charlie Appleby-trained Ancient Truth will be another high profile absentee at Newmarket after the G2 Superlative Stakes winner was reported to have picked up a setback. Last seen finishing third behind stablemate Shadow Of Light in the G1 Dewhurst Stakes, Ancient Truth had been available at general odds of 8-1 for the 2,000 Guineas. Appleby's Guineas squad appears now to be headed by Shadow Of Light while the trainer's Ruling Court and the unbeaten Opera Ballo also feature prominently in the betting. A statement released by Godolphin on Monday morning read, “Ancient Truth will no longer be aimed at the 2,000 Guineas due to a setback. He will be kept under veterinary supervision and a plan will be made for him for later in the season.” More to follow The post “Setback” Rules Charlie Appleby’s Ancient Truth Out Of The 2,000 Guineas appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Well they need to wake up, 123/1 in a vote in Parliament really??? They think it is all Woke pressure groups, look society moves on back in the 70s Softball and Tennis were big sports in NZ now they are basically non entities as far as serious competition sports within NZ. I love racing and have all my life but the Greyhound people are deluding themselves if they think this is just a woke beat up. Horse racing will survive as they have political clout, look at the KCs Judges, Dames and Sirs that own racehorses, plus look at all the pictures of whinny and Luxton at the races with the mulit millionaire crowd. Greyhound racing basically lost the support of joe blow and unlike horse racing does not have the political clout to fall back on. They have some serious cash use it to help your license holders and dogs move on with their lives. -
Couple of things here, the preparation of a track is a NZTR directive, and as the stipes work for RIB they have no obligation whatsoever to make sure that tracks are presented on the morning of the races as per NZTR directives (they are there to ensure license holders adhere to the rules). Given this NZTR has a directive which they have no way of enforcing. I have been a reader of the racing forums for a number of years, while i have only been a small time owner, breeder and punter, when i took the plunge to become a contributor to racing forums early this year, BOAY welcomed me with open arms, the other site referred to in this forum actually made it very difficult to join or contribute.

The first win i ever had as an owner was at Foxton. CD racing is not in a good place at the moment, the RACE financials are very very poor and if RACE cannot make a profit from Racing in the CD, the powers that be at NZTR will need to step in, but does a guy who got the DCM from Sky City really know how to fix the problems in the CD????
