The Muswellbrook Race Club board is pleased to announce the appointment of highly experienced racing administrator Christine Williams as its General Manager.

Ms Williams was Chief Executive of the Murrumbidgee Turf Club (MTC) in Wagga Wagga for 12 years and for the past four has worked for RacingNSW on race days in the Southern Districts and Northern Rivers region.

“We are delighted to have Christine join the Muswellbrook Race Club, she brings a wealth of racing administration experience,” said MRC Chair John Sunderland.

Following her tenure at the MTC, Christine expanded her managerial experience working in the ClubsNSW industry and more recently with Cancer Council NSW.

“Racing has been my lifelong passion and when not employed by the industry I’ve remained involved as an owner of numerous horses within our family syndicate,” Ms Williams said.

A university qualified journalist, Ms Williams launched her racing career covering several Sydney Racing Carnivals during her time with Australian Associated Press.

“I’m excited to join the MRC where I will be guided by an astute board. I am looking forward to working with the staff, local trainers, owners and all racing participants. With 18 race meetings in the heart of the Hunter Valley and a $4.2 million grant to expand the function area there is so much potential for the club,” Ms Williams said.

Ms Williams begins her new role on 15 July 2024.
