CHIEF Operations Officer Reid Sanders has tendered his resignation to the Board of Harness Racing New South Wales after five years of exemplary service.
Having joined HRNSW in the role of Chief Stipendiary Steward in 2011 Mr Sanders has been integral in the resurrection of the integrity standing of the controlling body.
Intrinsically engaged in investigating and prosecuting the infamous ‘Green Light’ affair Mr Sanders was also the equine industry leader in the discovery and detection of prohibitive substances in Australasia.
Since late 2014 Mr Sanders has undertaken a leading role in the establishment of the Menangle Park Training Centre as well as being strategically involved in regulatory oversight.
During his tenure with HRNSW Mr Sanders was presented with the Harness Racing Australia Meritorious Service Award a distinguished achievement for such a short period in the time in harness racing.
Mr Sanders’ resignation takes effect in December however he will continue to be involved with several major HRNSW inquiries which have recently commenced.
HRNSW will undertake a restructure of roles with the departure of the Chief Operations Officer.
