Rachel Hood President of the Racehorse Owners Association
Rachel Hood's Mindset is truly bloodhorse literate as is her husband's John Gosden.
Rachel Hood:
"We're walking on a tightrope and must move to a racing right.
"We're walking on a tightrope and must move to a racing right.
"THE future of Lord Derby's latest
housing proposals for the controversial site at Hatchfield Farm in Newmarket
The meeting, which is scheduled to
start at 6pm, is expected to be attended by a large cross-section of the local
racing community, many of whom have long been opposed to the plans.
"A RACING RIGHT funding
mechanism would give the sport and betting industry the chance to forge a new
relationship, owners leader Rachel Hood told the annual meeting of the
Racehorse Owners Association in London
"A right to take bets on racing
is the sport's favoured option for replacing the levy and was also specifically mentioned by chancellor George
Osborne in the budget in March.
"Hood, who is entering her final
year as president of the ROA, told the meeting the levy system was failing
racing.
"As a first step she said the
levy should be extended to offshore operators to capture the estimated £25
million lost to racing each year. The second stage would be the move to a
racing right.
"She added: Not only will it
remove the government's involvement from what should be a commercial
discussion between the two industries,
it will also move us away from indefinable and therefore damaging concepts at
the heart of the levy framework such as the 'needs of racing' and 'betting's
capacity to pay' . "
"She added: "I am
optimistic the more enlightened within the gambling sector will view the racing
right as an opportunity for a new approach - an approach based around a
constructive and mutually beneficial partnership with racing. "
"Nevertheless, Hood said the
partnership could not be just one way and reserved strong criticism for the
gaming machines found in betting shops.
One doesn't have to look far to find that
We have a political and legal system well advanced in it's destruction ' Rip Off Britain' style right across the board blighting
everyone's daily life in a lethal way.
"She argued the betting industry
had an economic interest in promoting racing in their shop windows rather than
the machines, of which, she said, she had a low opinion.
"Hood added: "The sad and,
to me, distasteful truth however, is
that racing's funding is currently partly linked to these machines. We
therefore find ourselves walking a tightrope.
"Sports minister Helen Grant was
singled out for praise for going
"out of her way" to
understand the industry since her appointment last October while Hood also applauded BHA chairman Steve Harman for
helping the sport to speak with 'a
single voice' .
"On prize-money, Hood urged
action on minimum values in races to keep pace with the overall increase. She
said: "Addressing this is a
priority as we need to ensure the growth in total prize-money is shared across
all levels of ownership. "
"And on fixtures she echoed the
Jockey Club's call for racecourses to be rewarded for their contribution to
prize-money. "Racecourses should be rewarded with fixtures for doing the right thing for the sport across their entire fixture-list, Hood said.
"There is still much to be done
and it is crucial the momentum we have built up over the last year is
maintained as some of our biggest challenges lie ahead. "Racing must continue to speak with one voice and remain focused on what it wants to achieve. " That one voice can only be a true bloodhorse literate voice, no other voice can ever be good enough.
THE BRITISH POLITICAL, LEGAL, RACECOURSE AND HORSERACING GOVERNMENT -
DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PLAY GAMES WITH OTHER PEOPLES LIVES. TO INCLUDE THE HORSES

CORRUPT ACT.)
OWNERS AGM
Bill Barber brings news:
"The sport
is boxing below its weight says Harman. "
Pic: "Shaping the
future: BHA chairman Steve Harman
speaking yesterday."
J Margaret Clarke Turfcall Fact
BHA Chairman
Steve Harman
Steve Harman 'Mindset is Bloodhorse
Illiterate:' due to this fact anything Harman has to say is both out of perspective and out of context.
"RACING has
been 'boxing below its weight' according to BHA chairman Steve Harman, who
believes there are enormous opportunities available to the sport.
"Harman was speaking
at yesterday's Racehorse Owners Association annual meeting, where he told
members the industries strategy for
growth was looking at innovative ways to address racing's problems.. Racings problems are caused by the bloodhorse illiterate governments.
"He said British
racing had more assets, brands and
legacy than any other sport he had been involved with, but added: "Are we
doing enough with it?" Over the last 6 decades you have managed to Rip Off all the true bloodhorse literate horsemen to include the horses, bringing British horseracing to its knees. Rescued to a point in the main by Godolphin. So why don't you Mr Harman go off and begin to learn for yourself what bloodhorse literacy truly is before you make another speech like this.
"Harman, who
described the financial health of the
sport as fragile, said: "Racing is boxing well below its weight and has
been for some time. This is not just an issue with government, it is an issue
with investors, sponsors, the high-net worth, and there is a lot we can do
around this. The opportunities we have are enormous and this is the area we are
looking at, " The BHA need to come clean over their financial income received each
year from The Cheltenham Gold Cup Meeting. The Aintree Grand National meeting
to mention only two here. Whilst the trainers and their teams work for peanuts.
Where is all this money going to? The BHA, the Jockey Club, the Government and
the Racecourses need to come clean, Dodgy dealings, financial secrecy no financial
transparency left going on over 6 decades. Dark age evil government practice.
"He said government
and investors would not support racing unless it had a clear future. "A
clear, practical, urgent, material, motivation, compelling strategy for the
sport is needed, " he added.
"Harman also
outlined some of the strands racing was looking at for its strategy, paying
particular attention to racing, betting and innovation.
"If I was a
bookmakers' chairman standing here I would be asking where racing has been on
the innovation journey for the last five years, " he said.
"It is easy to
attack bookmakers, " he said. It is
one of the most inaccessible betting products we have in the UK
"It is easy to
attack bookmakers, " he said. "This betting innovation partnership
we've put together is a sign the chairman of the bookmakers are commercial -
they love horseracing and want horseracing to succeed. They want racing and
betting to become more accessible, more innovative and to grow revenue and
gross margins. "
"Arena Racing
Company was another group he said had been made whipping boys. "In my
induction there was a whole piece around Arc are not investing, Arc are doing
that, "
"Harman said. He
argued Arc's was not "an in-and-out-investment" , concluding:
"We need to talk
about substance and fact, less about legacy and emotion. "
"Harman was also
asked whether he thought Channel 4 could now be included in the ranks of
whipping boys following the channel's poor recent viewing figures.
"The BHA is really keen to have a dedicated
terrestrial channel and personally I like the innovation, desire and
professionalism Channel 4 is creating, " he said.
"Arena Racing
Company was another group he said had been made whipping boys.
"In my induction there was a whole piece
around Arc are not investing., Arc are not investing, Arc are doing this, Arc are doing that, " Harman said. He argued Arc's was not an-in-and-out investment" , concluding:
" There is a
genuine concern over recent months about viewing figures, but I don't think it
has got to the stage of a whipping boy. "
