“You will appreciate that any abandonment due to industrial action is both costly and disappointing. The racemeeting of 2 April is under review and we will not be opening nominations to put any more meetings on until such time that we have assurances from the jockeys and the racing regulator that issues have been satisfactorily resolved. I must reiterate that I don’t believe that industrial action was appropriate today as there are other ways, means and channels to express and air grievances,” announced Bortz.
