RACING Victoria announced on Monday that the State’s premier thoroughbred racecallers will now come under the management of RV instead of previous employers RSN and TVN.

The transfer of the racecaller’s employment to RV is part of its strategy to consolidate the industry’s media assets to ensure maximum value for its Clubs and participants.

Effective from Monday, highly respected racecallers and presenters Greg Miles, Terry Bailey, Rick McIntosh, Adam Olszanski and Adam Crettenden will become RV staff members.

RV Chief Executive Officer, Bernard Saundry, said the decision has been made to provide the racecallers and industry with greater flexibility in conducting their duties, “The decision to consolidate the employment of the industry’s racecallers into Racing Victoria was made in consultation with RSN and TVN and recognises their immense value to the sport.

“We have a tremendously talented group of racecallers in Victoria and we see this as both a positive move for them and the industry to ensure we can best showcase their talents.

“We’re keen to promote the racecallers and their immense knowledge of Victorian racing across all of the industry’s media platforms including TV, radio and digital, for the benefit of racing’s fans.”
