On behalf of the NSW Government, I would like to thank Ken Brown AM for his dedicated service as Harness Racing NSW (HRNSW) Chair, following his retirement.
Mr Brown has been a HRNSW Member since 2017 and his long-standing service is a testament to his commitment to the harness racing industry.
During his tenure he has helped guide and shape our state’s harness racing industry into the strong position it is in.
I commend Mr Brown for his dedication, professionalism and deep knowledge of the racing codes.
I wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
I would also like to congratulate Doug Freeman on his appointment by the HRNSW Board as its new Chair.
Mr Freeman brings expertise and a lifelong connection to harness racing and I look forward to working constructively with him during his 12-month term.
To address the vacancies on the HRNSW Board, I have made the following appointments, effective 17 March, in accordance with the Harness Racing Act 2009:
- Maggie Hundertmark as a member of the board for a four-year term, expiring 16 March 2030.
- Mark Holton as a member of the board for a two-year term, expiring 16 March 2028.
