BHA chief executive to leave in 2015

[jamesy's]

"Paul Bittar's departure will be widely seen as a blow for British racing. The laid-back Australian helped modernise the BHA, has a genuine passion for the sport and was a world away from the blazer brigade who once ruled racing.
"He helped oversee safety changes, two major doping investigations and introduced stricter rules on drugs. While some critics believe the Godolphin inquiry could have been more transparent, he skilfully trod the difficult line between promoting the sport and regulating it."

It's fair to say that Racing has had far more problems than we are likely to encounter at our 'BHA'.

You could have started a real BIN FEST if you had adjusted headline to BHA chief excecutive to leave in 2015

I would not be surprised if our own PB left in 2015. If he is successful in getting us compliant with ffp there will be little more for him to do other than bleed us dry with his salary.

His real challenge would be establishing us on a firm financial footing in the PL, if we can get there.

It has been suggested that around 50% of his salary last year was made up of bonuses, based on all the new sponsorship deals. Doubr he'll be hitting those kind of figures year on year. (Which might itself, lead to him looking elsewhere in time)

Wonder which side of the line he finally fell on tho, eh? Doubtless the same line as everybody else who knows all the scams and inside info but who relies on the racing industry for their living.

Bookies run racing , what they want they get so may as well have one of their men running it now
