Hawkesbury Race Club Farewells Rick Johnston

The forthcoming 20th anniversary of Hawkesbury’s stand-alone Saturday metropolitan meeting will mark the end of an era for long-standing employee Rick Johnston.

The club’s biggest raceday of the year on May 3 will be Johnston’s last before he retires the following Friday.

Rick has decided to take a step back and head west while assisting his son “BJ” in his earthmoving business.

Hawkesbury Race Club's chief executive James Heddo paid tribute to the popular Johnston, who for a number of years served as racecourse manager.

“Rick joined the club in December 2004, and his knowledge of the racecourse, grounds and operations in unparalleled,” Heddo said.

“He is extremely well respected throughout the racing industry, and leaves the club with our appreciation for his lengthy contribution along with our best wishes for the future."

Johnston said: “Having lived and worked with the club for over 20 years, it has been such a big part of my life.

“I have truly enjoyed my time here, being part of an amazing team, and I’m incredibly grateful for the experiences and opportunities afforded me along with the friendships I’ve built along the way.”
