Tom Reilly’s short tenure as CEO of Melbourne Racing Club has come to a sudden end, with chairman John Kanga announcing his departure on Monday night, four months after Reilly stepped into the role.
Kanga issued a statement to select media outlets that there had been a parting of the ways. Contacted for further details of the situation by The Straight, both parties confirmed the news but did not wish to add anything further.
Significantly, Tanya Fullarton, who has worked in a variety of roles in racing, including as vice-chair and executive officer of TROA as well as heading up her own marketing company, will assume the role of Chief Operating Officer with immediate effect.
