Members of the Australian Turf Club have elected two candidates to fill vacant positions on the Club’s Board of Directors.

Current ATC Director Ben Bayot and new candidate Caroline Searcy were elected and announced at yesterday’s Annual General Meeting at Rosehill Gardens. Members voted online or in person at Thursday’s meeting.

Mr Bayot had previously filled a casual vacancy on the Board before today’s Member elections. The second position became vacant following the expiration of former Vice-Chair Julia Ritchie’s maximum eight-year term.

Australian Turf Club Chairman Peter McGauran thanked Members for their votes.

“I congratulate Ben and Caroline on their election and both bring excellent skills and a deep passion for racing to our diverse Board," Mr McGauran said. “I’d also like to thank former Chairman and independent Director Matthew McGrath along with Julia Ritchie on their outstanding service."

Former Chairman Mr McGrath was granted Life Membership of the Club.
