We know that HRNSW has its finger on the pulse as Racing Manager Adam Fairley often answers questions on the forum
I would like to think that Victoria is listening too.
I am not sure who would be Vic's equivalent of Adam - maybe Chief Operating Officer Brant Dunshea
There should be someone tuning in but if it is not designated to anyone (as the Chairman of Stewards suggested to me) it is going to be rather haphazard
In the hope that we are being monitored by HRV, here is one problem I have with HRV
Given that your 2011 Strategic Plan lists the following Values
Integrity: Ensure the integrity of our products and that our actions are transparent.
Communication: Provide relevant and timely communication and service to all stakeholders.
How hard would it be to be to include all Adjourned Inquiries in 'Stewards Wrap' so that you are upholding these Values?
I have emailed HRV about this and eventually received a reply from Neal Conder but it seems to me that nothing changed. Under the present system one has to read every meeting's Stewards Report as you do not know which one an adjourned inquiry will be tacked onto
- hardly transparent and relevant communication to stakeholders
If think Adam Fairley's monitoring of Harnesslink and occasional replies exemplifies open communication but if HRV would prefer individual email how about adopting NSW'S ask John which guarantee a 48hr response. Emailing info@hrv inspires little confidence

Get stuck in Kev and let them know that the little people would really like to know what goes on with these adjourned enquiries. There's a particular enquiry going on up here that's been adjourned a couple of times already and the trainer is getting wins all over the place and it should have been dealt with long ago.
LOL After emailing info@hrv and hearing nothing
I emailed John Anderson and got an instant reply
It was an automatic reply telling me he is on holidays until November 5 - so no doubt my email will be lost in the pile again

Apologies to HRV for the above as while I was composing it I received an email from HRV!
"HRV does monitor the forums on Harnesslink as it does with many other forms of digital and social media.
HRV’s Communications Manager will continue to monitor the various forums and thank you for your interest."
