Tamworth Jockey Club has welcomed some important additions this week.
Michael Buckley starting as the club’s new General Manager, after being appointed last month.
He’s the club’s fourth G-M in two years and has previously worked a similar role in Newcastle.
Meanwhile, the facility has also received $1.5-million in funding from Racing New South Wales, to upgrade its sand track.
The improvements will include a new surface and upgraded drainage system.
“It’ll be fantastic, it’s a major piece of training infrastructure and the Tamworth trainers do a fantastic job already, given the facilities they’ve got, but it’ll only further improve their race day performance.”
Works start on May 25 and take around four months to complete.
