INTRODUCTION:
PRSUNDAY’S BIG READ: BILL BARBER Industry Editor: TALKS TO BRITISH GOVERNMENT’S NEW BLOODHORSE ILLITERATE THEORY MAN, NICK RUST.
Published in the Racing Post on Sunday April 19, 2015.
Rust tells us:
“I’ll make mistakes but my heart is in the right place. "
You might find other people you work with have no heart at all.
“I’ll make mistakes but my heart is in the right place. "
You might find other people you work with have no heart at all.
47 -year-old- Nick Russ joined the British horseracing government as chief executive. (BHA.) Last year’s announcement of the appointment of a former bookmaker as successor to Paul Bittar was met with surprise by many and criticism from a few.
"The first month spent in office meeting racing’s stakeholders, racings government team on the ground as diverse as the horserace betting right, plans for an agreement between BHA, Horseman’s Group and racecourses for a new structure for the industry, racing’s growth strategy, a new approach to race planning and a review of the BHA’s own structure and operations. "
Nick Rust: “His time getting his head “under the bonnet” of British racing has included nearly 20 raceday visits getting to know the work of the teams on the ground-the starters, stewards, clerks of the scales and especially the veterinary side,” he says. Well it would be wouldn’t it, as he tells us he has been looking in the wrong place, he has been looking “under the bonnet.” Looks like he will be aiming to frighten the horses to death. No doubt killing some of the racehorses and their riders off in training while he’s at it.
“Taking a closer look at racing’s stakeholder groups the various acronyms such as the TBA, ROA, RCA and PJA. “
“This sport really deserves to push on and, I know it’s an age-old observation, but if we can just find a way to come together we can do so much. That’s how I’m feeling about it a hundred days in. “ You won’t be able to do that if your hell bent at “looking under the bonnet” for your answers. All you will be doing is frightening the horses to death, and maybe some of the riders along with them. You need to get a good insurance policy out. You are in the government’s hot murder seat.
"The fixture list is so important that the concern, I suspect, of the racecourse groups is that the government may act on its own approach to things without reference to its members, " Rust adds.
"There is no way we could proceed on that basis but there does need to be a separation between policy and implementation. "
“Rust has spent 27 years working in the betting industry. He has 5 horses in training with Micky Hammond, he enjoys playing the “Gambling Game” that horseracing provides.
“I’ve had a warm welcome, “ Rust says, “ I feel people want me to play my part in helping our industry to succeed and as long as I am able , with my team, is anyone allowed to know who is in your team? “ I can deliver results against what people would reasonably expect, then I’ll have that support.” What sort of people? Bloodhorse illiterate people? Or bloodhorse literate people? “My approach is to be open.” Yes but at 47, with respect, you are still bloodhorse illiterate. You will be taking bloodhorse illiterate decisions in theory that may place bloodhorse literate people to include the horses in highly dangerous circumstances in practice , open to horrendous consequences. The same, all over again as has been bloodhorse illiterate government policy over the last 6 decades.
“So having come from the betting industry how different is the way the BHA government are set up? “Rust says. “In any organization these days there are accountabilities and stakeholders. So in one respect it’s not so different.
“In another yes, it’s not a straightforward commercial organization and I have regularity and integrity duties, but my role is to help pull together and help with the overall leadership of our sport.”
“However, Rust is aware he cannot be a new ‘Dictator of the Turf’ and that the levers of power are not all in his hands.
“I’ve said it before, this sport is not ready for a Bernie Ecclestone,” he says “I’m not a Bernie Ecclestone and the only way we will make progress is by finding common ground and working together. My track record suggests I can assist with that.
“ With the issue of a horseracing betting right as a replacement for the levy temporarily on the back burner after the government announced it planned to proceed with the plan, a new industry structure has risen to the top of Rust’s priorities.
“However, agreement has proved harder to reach than the BHA had hoped with the racecourses – particularly Arena Leasure Company – complaining the structure was too consultative rather than truly tripartite, especially over the fixture list. Fixture lists and race planning cannot be place in the hands of the bloodhorse illiterate that's for sure. Totally out of their depth.
“Rust says he is confident the right wording can be found in the next few weeks to overcome any issues – indeed the BHA Board splashed out £78,000 guineas on a Zebedee colt at the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up Sales on Wednesday to be called act now to be caller Tripartite. "
"The fixture list is so important that the concern, I suspect, of the racecourse groups is that the government may act on its own approach to things without reference to its members, " Rust adds.
"There is no way we could proceed on that basis but there does need to be a separation between policy and implementation. "
Rust’s warning: "Act now to halt decline”.

"BRITISH horseracing is at a crossroads, its leader Nick Russ warned yesterday as he sought to convince the sport of an ambitious manifesto for change, including an extra £120 million a year for the industry by 2018.

“Rust said in Edinburgh at the first of four roadshows that the sport could not be complacent giving the fall in horses in from training and owners, while revealing levy income, before voluntary contribution, could fall to £50m in two years’ time.
