"WELCOME TO BRITAIN PAUL, AND WE'RE SURE YOU WON'T' BE LACKING  FOR HELPFUL ADVICE FROM THE SPORTS BROAD CHURCH OF INTERESTS.

THEORY TEAM
“FORMER BHB manager Paul Bittar (Accountant) will return from his native Australia in the New Year to steer the BHA through one of the most challenging period’s for British racing in recent memory after it was confirmed he had been hired to succeed Nic Coward as the organisation’s next chief executive.

BITTAR AN ACCOUNTANT? Chief Executive of BHA? Bloodhorse illiterate .....
MORRIS A VETERINARY? The use of the whip? Bloodhorse illiterate .....

BHA  and GOVERNMENT 'working practices' off key, desperately and dangerously out of tune, perspective only in  theory, no practical teams to make sure that  the theory is working properly.

IN PRACTICE TEAM
Where are the TEAMS to uphold the rights on the Practical sides within British horseracing and within British government ?

IN THEORY? IN PRACTICE?
Where does the theory team join up with the practice team?  
IN PACTICE, the BHA out of tune with the PRACTICAL ISSUES heading for more of the same unbalanced badly out of tune dangerously untuned regulation direction, slowely squeezing the true life blood out of British horseracing. Attempting to get all true bloodhorse literate achievers all banged up in the Tower of London.  

THEORY TEAM
“BITTAR, 41, who was project manager reporting to Greg Nichols when last based in London six years ago, will have the task of completing the modernisation of the sport’s structure under which the BHA will cede some of its traditional responsibilities to the racecourses and Horseman’s Group. By the time he arrives at his desk in January from Racing Victoria where he is serving his notice as chief stratergy officer, he will find a much changed landscape. Not only has levy yield dropped to £59.53m from £99.3m in 2005, but agreement has still not been reached on cuts to next year’s fixture list. In addition, the racehorse population is in decline having exceeded 14,000 for the first time when Bittar was at the BHB.

THEORY TEAM
“The appointment of Bittar, which was forecast in the Racing Post last week, was ratified on Monday after he was the unanimous choice of the BHA nominations committee from 40 candidates interviewed …..

THEORY TEAM
JON LEES   "GREG NICHOLS, former BHB chief executive: "Britain needs to establish first what it requires of its governing structure."

THEORY TEAM
GREG NICHOLS ASKS  " IS PAUL BITTAR the right man, but will the role be right?  
“MR BITTAR has the ideal skills for the chief executive’s (BHA) role, his former boss Greg Nichols said yesterday. But he may find himself over- qualified if his commercial expertise is no longer required once the restructure of the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) structure has been completed.

THEORY TEAM


Working within the British Horseracing Authority  (BHA) and on the political front within government, both are run only within beaurocratic THEORY in London and the House of Commons. Totally out of touch with the actual true reality of anything at all to do with PRACTICE.  In 2011 we saw the shocking cruelty and total chaos caused by the beaurocrats having absolutely no idea at all in how to cope with the Foot and Mouth outbreak. 

PRACTICAL TEAMWorking within British Horseracing Authority (BHA) and on the political front within government, both need to be run IN PRACTICE as well as IN THEORY both need to work properly, you can't have one without the other.


BHA have chosen Veterinary Morris to carry out and to amend issues relating to the use of the whip and the ruling on the use of the whip in British horseracing. Veterinary Morris cannot ride, leave alone have any experience whatsoever in whipping an unfortunate horse. Yogi Breisner, Sir Henry Cecil, Sir Michael Stoute, John Gosden, Rachel Hood, Lydie Pearce and Julie Cecil will all know how not to abuse a horse with a whip, both in the training of racehorses and in the competing. 

BHA chose Nic Coward as chief executive to BHA, now we are told Paul Bittar an accountant is to take over this role.

 NICHOLS ON BITTAR, QUESTIONS THE BHA  "THE RIGHT MAN, BUT WILL THE ROLE BE RIGHT?

NICHOLS "BRITAIN NEEDS TO ESTABLISH FIRST WHAT IT REQUIRES OF ITS GOVERNING  STRUCTURE .....

WE WOULD ALL like to know what is actually happening behind the scenes within government and the within the BHA, not much chance of that though,  all mainly done in secret. We, the people to be effected by such decisions are then left to put up and to shut up.
