It just makes sense to put racing back under Department of Agriculture’s wing

The cabinet reshuffle didn’t please most people but the one good thing to come out of it was that racing has gone back into the Department of Agriculture from Sport.

I was delighted to see that because while it was in Sport, people had this idea of it as a leisure thing. I always felt that anything to do with racing was an industry because of the amount of people it employed. That meant it should be in Agriculture; it could never be viewed as a pastime.
