Hawkesbury Race Club's Rick Johnston

“Rick has done a wonderful job for the Club over many years,” said James Heddo, CEO for Hawkesbury Race Club.

“His knowledge of the racecourse, grounds and operations is unparalleled and it is something we greatly value and don’t want to lose.”

In planning for the future, the Club has been able to secure Johnston in this new multi-faceted role where he will be able to share the knowledge he has acquired during his time at Hawkesbury.

“I believe it will be invaluable for a new Racecourse Manager at Hawkesbury Race Club to have Rick’s experience available for assistance as required,” said Mr Heddo.

“Rick is extremely well respected throughout the racing industry and we look forward to a continuing association for many years to come."

Rick Johnston said: “I am thrilled to progress into this new role and focus my attention over the entire venue.

“I am looking forward to continuing to be part the great team at Hawkesbury and contributing to the ongoing success of the Club.”

Hawkesbury Race Club will now advertise for a new Racecourse Manager commencing after this year’s Hawkesbury Cup Raceday (Saturday 22nd April).
