Conor Grant to Step Down as Chair of Racecourse Media Group

Racecourse Media Group (RMG), which represents 37 racecourse shareholders across the United Kingdom, has announced that its chairman, Conor Grant, will be leaving his position. Grant attributed his decision to increasing professional commitments and frequent travel to the United States.

Grant’s Tenure and Departure Timeline
