you have to be kidding! he is not her boss, the only people he's the boss of are the stewards who work under him - and it's about time some of these people understood that trainers like Kate, owners and other participants make it possible for him and others like him to have a job. She is self-employed. Issue here is that rules have been ignored in prosecuting her and if you don't know what happened maybe you don't need to comment.

It seems participants get beaten down when they have something to say. Racing is so immature and NSW and Vic are destroying it. Rotten to the core.

nothing I'm aware of, there was some issue with another female trainer at Kilmore that was blown out of proportion and the Kilmore boss decided that he'd be a jerk and stewards always back club admin

Ripper news for once
Investigation rules in favour of GoodrichBY Adrian Dunn - @adriandunn2
2 hours ago Horse Racing
AN independent investigation has found Kilmore Racing Club’s suspension of trainer Kate Goodrich “flawed and unjustified”. Racing Victoria issued a statement on Goodrich, who has been embroiled in a two-and-a-half-year dispute with the KRC. The KRC told Goodrich in August 2013 that she was unable to train her small team of horse from Kilmore. She and partner Jon Hassall were forced to float their horses to Seymour to train them. The matter was sparked by a tweet from Goodrich who was critical of the track’s condition. After several attempts, including mediation, failed to gain a resolution, RV appointed last year an independent third-party investigator – FBIS International – to look into complaints raised by Goodrich of her treatment by the Kilmore Racing Club. “It is the opinion of the investigator in their draft report that Ms Goodrich’s allegations of bullying and threatening behaviour against KRC were sustained in the context of the Fairwork Australia Ombudsman definition and that her suspension by KRC was flawed and unjustified,” the RV statement reads. “Since receipt of the investigator’s draft report, RV has sought to engage with Ms Goodrich and her representatives in a bid to facilitate a resolution of her dispute with KRC, and RV remains committed to doing so at the earliest opportunity. “Discussions regarding the matter remain on-going with Ms Goodrich and her representatives. These are best conducted on a confidential basis and thus we do not intend to comment further on the specifics of the matter at this time.” Goodrich said the dispute had “decimated her business” and caused her to “suffer depression and anxiety”. She said the protracted dispute had “taken its toll on my health and my business.” “No one has given me a horse to train
since this has happened and I can understand that. Why would anyone
give me a horse to train with this hanging over me? “It should never have come to this. There are still so many questions that need to be asked about the handling of all this. There needs to be accountability at all levels. “The culture of racing needs to change.” RV has commenced work on an enhanced Governance Education Program for country clubs to assist in their management processes. This is in addition to initiatives over the past 12 months to support the health and wellbeing of trainers, including the appointment of a full-time RV Trainer Wellbeing Officer, the development of an online TrainersPlus portal and the introduction of the Australian Trainers Trust. |

The CEO that caused her grief has long gone and fair to say he has left a few jobs with a lot of ???????'s hanging over him.
Kate is to be admired for her strength of character and for not allowing herself to be bullied into silence. From what I know of her she is very highly regarded and is known to be impeccably honest and decent.

we all also need an explanation from TB as to why he sided with the club and acted the way he did, and why it has taken so long for the report to come out - victimizing people who don't deserve it just because they stand up for themselves is simply not on

Linghi, RV should take a good look at this type of behaviour. It seems to be a culture within the industry and always targets the smaller names. They know full well that most of the victims do not have the money to fight in the courts. Well done to Ms Goodrich and congratulations for her determination.

Agreed and even with those that put up $$$ to fight they prolong cases in a deliberate attempt to hope people will either give up or run out of money, then case closed...
This culture starts at the top- if the CS is able to reportedly yell at trainers summoned to RV for voicing an opinion, what behaviour is allowed (and possibly promoted)by integrity underlings that visit trainers stables etc away from a more public eye?. |

Governments in every state and territory need to establish an independent body where grievances like this should be taken and treated seriously - racing admin cannot be allowed to continue unchecked and invincible - they need to lead by example and be fully accountable.

I imagine they're ones she had to let go whilst unable to train anywhere & if she majority owned them, they probably had to go due to lack of funds. Purely supposition tho'
All the same, great to see them well homed |

They deserve everything she gives them. Unaccountable, small-minded, vindictive a$$holes. Wouldn't know how to admit their mistake and do the right thing for once, all about saving face no matter the damage.

Goodrich: Racing Victoria has destroyed meBY ADRIAN DUNN - @ADRIANDUNN2 9 hours from now Horse Racing Kate Goodrich (Pic: supplied) Embattled trainer Kate Goodrich claims Racing Victoria has “destroyed her” and asked Fair Work Australia to place a “stop bullying order” against Racing Victoria CEO Bernard Saundry on Tuesday. Goodrich claims the inaction of RV in dealing with her bullying case has left her with no alternative but to take action against Saundry. She claims Saundry has done nothing to address the findings of an independent investigation, which found she had been “bullied” and subject to “threatening behaviour” while training horses at Kilmore. The independent investigation, commissioned by RV, also found a suspension of Goodrich by the Kilmore Racing Club to be “flawed, unjustifiable and did not withstand scrutiny”. “They have destroyed me,” Goodrich said. “Looking at these horses just breaks my heart. I’ve got to the point where I will have to sell everything.” Goodrich said Saundry has been in possession of the independent report for 10 months, but “has done nothing”. She said the bullying was continuing. “For three years I haven’t been provided with a safe workplace,” Goodrich said. “Racing Victoria is not going to handle it – they just go around and around in circles. “I need someone to come in and make a ruling on the investigation.” RV declined to discuss spec... |

I find it staggering that an independent report, commissioned by RV, found in favour of Kate, yet not one thing has happened since. Have they chosen to ignore this report? Why haven't people lost their jobs? Why hasn't Kate received an apology and compensation?
They clearly just want her to go away. Bad move. For anyone that follows her on twitter, they picked the wrong person to ignore! Go get them Kate!

This tarnishes RV's image and denies them any shred of credibility on other issues. Sick industry where participants passed the hat around to help O'Shea when he did the wrong thing, but will do nothing to help this brave woman.
