I don't think that is fair Terry, I don't know everything that the CEO and Board are doing - do you? I think they are working pretty bloody hard

Well, no, are they out there telling the Industry what they are doing, in what could be described as Australia’s greatest crisis in our history, aside from war time. Who doubts that? That is the context, that is the scenario. Press Releases are a show of what they may be working on, an indication of what is in the inbox, and what they are putting all energies into doing.
I haven’t seen press releases, they may be there, and no, I
don’t know, but to me the existential crisis is doing all to stop the Industry shutting down. That’s the a press release I’d be issuing, and already have issued, and I use all resources I had to get that out.
If you look at all the stories under this link, you will see that they have been pretty busy

The whole regionalization of the states racing would be massive and although the CEO would not be doing the nitty gritty on that, he would have to be liaising with so many groups and clubs
Looks like NSW is adopting a no audio call due to COVID-19 policy, shame, no other state is doing this.
Kevin, I withdraw the heat in my comments, and the heavy handed criticism. My point is that in the link you sent, there is no simple master plan. That plan is their best attempt to have a high quality mitigation Health Prevention and Cleansing Plan prepared by experts and accepted/edited by HRV, the action plan that I enunciated earlier, implemented, then sent to the Minister that demonstrates how the HRV plan IS implementing measures, not just talking about throw away comments of ‘wash your hands’. The plan is a living document, but there.
I’m not sure you understand my concept. The Master Plan prepared by the Consultants on health and cleansing I suggest is for the HRV across all of Vic. The stewards could amend the master for local conditions, but there should not be many.
That’s the proactive way, cancelling meetings may be required one off decision, but the plan I propose is a journey, but a quality journey to safeguarding the industry, to keep it going. The Health Minister can seek further advice, ask for specific changes, but accept the plan because the HRV implemented it. In other words you might not see the draconian decision made by the Tasmanian government.
I strongly suggest that is best way forward. There is a saying In God We Trust, Everyone Else Please Bring Data
BTW, we’re all confined to barracks tonight and until further notice watching the footy replay. Wouldn’t it be nice to have crossovers to the trots to see miracle mile, a free for all, a standing start with handicaps again, and a quality three old event (the existing schedule cancelled of course).
But no, we can only hope 7 and HRV can do something together, a resurrection around Easter, just like happened over 2000 years ago.
Diehard harness fans would also love this BUT those that are punters, would/could be watching the trots on their betting ap

I hope each region in Victoria has it's own set of stewards that are isolating themselves between meetings. If we don't they will spread the Wuhan Virus from one region to the next. They were the problem at Bathurst, only luck saved us.
Chris Alford drove 6 of the 8 winners at Cranbourne tonight. 5 were Odds On favs mind you
