The Australian Turf Club has appointed highly experienced track curator David Anderson to the position of Randwick racecourse manager.
Anderson will join the ATC from the Illawarra Turf Club, where he was the Kembla Grange racecourse manager.
He brings more than 40 years of racing experience to the new role.
“David’s depth of knowledge and experience coupled with a great dedication and passion for the racing industry is a rare and valuable asset,” the ATC’s head of racing and wagering Nevesh Ramdhani said.
“David has an established record in mentoring and developing staff who have progressed to more senior roles which will also greatly benefit our tracks teams.”
Anderson will replace Michael Wood, who has been promoted to the position of general manager of the ATC’s races at Randwick, Rosehill, Canterbury and Warwick Farm.
“This is a very prestigious and challenging role that does not come around often so it is it an honour to have been appointed,” Anderson said.
“My aim will be to settle in quickly as the spring carnival is nearly upon us and having good industry stakeholder relationships across the board will be among the first priorities.’’
Anderson begins the new role on September 1.
