AT the end of this month, I shall retire from my role as Senior Judge with IHRB, formerly the Turf Club. A role I have held since 1997, having started part time with the Turf Club in April 1991.

At that time, the Turf Club had control of most aspects of racing before the foundation of HRI. So ably run by the great Cahir O’Sullivan, a great administrator and a real champion of the racing officials.
