He takes up the role next month from James Ross, who has accepted a senior position at the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

Australian Turf Club CEO Matt Galanos said Mr Ramdhani was highly experienced and widely known to the Sydney and NSW racing industry.

"We are very pleased to be able to fill this critical role in Sydney racing with a person of the skills and experience of Nevesh," Mr Galanos said.

"This role involves not only the oversight of track management at each of our racecourses but also the racing and wagering department of the Australian Turf Club.

"Nevesh joins the senior leadership team at the Australian Turf Club as we continue to host and deliver world-class racing and spectacular Carnivals at four racecourses across 110 racedays for 52 weeks a year."

Mr Ramdhani was Royal Randwick Racecourse Manager from November 2010 to July 2019.

He was promoted to General Manager of Racecourses at Australian Turf Club in August 2019 before taking a new role at the Gold Coast in June 2022.

Mr Ramdhani begins as ATC Head of Racing and Wagering on 22 May 2024.
