                                THE TASMANIAN Thoroughbred Racing Council is 
                                again looking for a new chief executive. 
                                Rohan Mitchell has resigned after a short, but 
                                eventful 18 months in the position and is 
                                returning to Victoria. 
                                His predecessor Charlotte Dickie, also recruited 
                                from Victoria, lasted only 15 months before 
                                moving to Western Australia. 
                                TTRC chairman Rod Thirkell- Johnston said that 
                                Mitchell had made "a very valuable contribution 
                                to the advancement of thoroughbred racing in 
                                Tasmania". 
                                "The many initiatives and improvements 
                                implemented during his time will continue to 
                                benefit racing well into the future," he said. 
                                "The introduction of workers' compensation for 
                                jockeys, restructuring of the TasVobis incentive 
                                scheme and improving prizemoney are among his 
                                many achievements. 
                                "The reforming of prizemoney distributions 
                                increased returns to owners and maximized 
                                turnover. 
                                "Rohan has also overseen improvements to OH&S 
                                for the industry and deserves praise for his 
                                management of the equine influenza situation." 
                                Mitchell is expected to finish up in late 
                                September. 
                                The TTRC will consider a replacement "in the 
                                coming weeks."
