Peter V‘landys’ future as Racing NSW chief executive may be under the spotlight, but those seeking to wedge him from the top job still have their work cut out, writes Bren O’Brien.

In his 21 years in the Racing NSW chief executive’s chair, Peter V’landys’ hold on the top job has never been under such scrutiny.
The past 12 months have brought a parliamentary inquiry related to the Rosehill inquiry, which instead shone a light into how Racing NSW and V’landys conduct their business, the political drama over the ATC’s botched process to sell the western Sydney racecourse, questions over the regulator’s real estate portfolio and its management of provincial and country racecourses, and now a review of the Thoroughbred Racing Act.
That review, the only aspect of any substance in the Minns government’s response to the Rosehill parliamentary inquiry, has been identified as a possible wedge point by those who want to see change at Racing NSW.
