This is an important discussion the racing industry should be having at the highest levels.
Horse racing is a multi-billion dollar industry, yet when it comes to attracting and developing future talent, the approach feels fragmented and reactive rather than strategic.
People are the industry's most important asset. From stable staff and trackwork riders to jockeys, trainers and the many supporting roles that keep the game going. Racing's long-term success depends on strong pathways that identify, attract and develop talent from the grassroots level.
Major sports invest heavily in academies, development programs and talent pathways because they understand that today's juniors become tomorrow's professionals. Racing should be thinking the same way.
The state-based certificate courses available today play an important role, but they are only one piece of the puzzle.
💡 The industry should be investing in a coordinated long-term vision that promotes racing careers, develops skills, creates opportunities and builds the workforce it will need in 10, 20 and 30 years' time.
Great horses get the headlines and are essential to the sport, but great people are what sustain it.
Headley Grange wins the Kingsford Smith Cup and will now head to the Straddy. A good result for many in The Den and our Mates Mode Pot!

🚨IMPORTANT POST🚨
This week the federal government met with key stakeholders in the wagering industry about proposed reform. Ironically, the meeting opened with a Welcome to Country, yet punters across Australia are not welcome and continue to be shut out of discussions about the future of our industry.
Not once during this entire process has the government spoken to a SINGLE PUNTER. NOT ONE. And we have tried ad nauseam to get involved.
If you think that’s a disgrace, let @AlboMP and @AnikaWells know.
Analysis: Bookmakers walked into the federal government’s wagering reform briefing on Thursday hoping for clarity.
But many of their questions remain unanswered.
