Bernard Saundry appointed as CEO of RSN Radio in Victoria the primary race broadcaster for all three codes.

Well Done. Obviously oversaw the creation of Racing.com and knows his stuff. A loss for NZ but he did a job and did it well

Running a radio station is probably easier than running a racing industry. Hard to think of anything memorable he left behind him here.

What did he do and more particularly, what did he do well?

He didn’t cause any controversy, a steady hand on the wheel, he was approachable and I always found him a fair & reasonable bloke to deal with

I’d suggest he was quite an improvement on the bloke before him !!!

 

100% P4P
synthetic tracks - would still be talking about them if he hadn’t been at the helm.

Lifted prizemoney - we would always love more but he did get some through. Lifted the codes marketing arm because the TAB have done a terrible job at that.

Maybe he will implement the radio racing model of New Zealand

Too late is my guess as they gave away or sold all the radio frequencies that the industry owned. 

I too found Saundry very approachable etc. 

I was excited when he got the role as I beleived he was the person that oversaw racing.com which is a great racing website.  I was hoping he would drive a smiliar change through loveracing.nz website but it didn't happen.  That was my biggest dissapointment with his time here.

I was being a bit smart, the NZ model was good until they sold it off to a bunch of cowboys.

But hey instead of racing on Saturday you can listen to the Warriers or the worriers as they should be called, brilliant.
