Racing NSW says it followed the correct protocols in a deal which involved it securing a property near Bathurst racecourse through now-chair Saranne Cooke.
Racing Minister David Harris had promised to look into the deal after it was raised in an estimates hearing earlier this month by independent MP and noted Racing NSW critic, Mark Latham.
Cooke, then deputy chair of Racing NSW, purchased a property in Gilmour Street, Kelso in 2021, and then on-sold it to Racing NSW in February 2022. The original purchase price was $985,000, before it was then moved on to Racing NSW for $1 eight months later.
