Questions For The Board & CEO

Recommended Posts

1- Do you believe it is in the best interests of Harness Racing  & transparency that a CEO is appointed without proper process, ie opening up the recruitment process to others with appropriate skills.?  And if so why.                                                                          2- Will you be producing a vision statement for where you want Harness Racing to be in 2 years, 5 years & 10 years time?                   3-Will you be producing a plan outlining how you are going to reverse the decline in Harness market share of wagering to the other racing codes?                                         4- Will you be outlining a plan to increase overall betting on Harness to increase revenues, thus increasing stakes.                       Anyone in senior governance roles should be doing this & if they can’t they should resign now.

No to all questions would be my answer. Holdens a lightweight . Just look at his Greyhound tenure.

The only potential saviour for harness is the arrival of  independent board members. Way overdue but can they attract quality directors

It seems they have been happy to muddle on running the industry on a day to day basis, dealing with issues when they arise but with no strategy or real plan for growth.   This is no longer an option.   Time for the board and the CEO to earn their money.

The board should call a meeting of all interested parties to discuss options for growth.  This should include representatives from younger people in the sport, many of whom are very tech savvy and have a lot to contribute.   Such a meeting would not be to air petty grievances or have a go at administrators but to focus on what we all want,  higher stakes and more participation.                       Positive people like Ken Breckon,  Andrew Fitzgerald,  Jess Davidson to name a few, and there are many others, who I’m sure would have good ideas and like  to be involved.
