It was back in December of 2007 that the Bangalore Truf Club took the decision to hire Fin Powrie as Racing Advisor. However it was not until April that the internationally renowned Australian actually received his appointment order as certain factions within the managing committee of BTC, who owed their allegiance to powers inimical to the fair conduct of racing, tried their best to stall his selection.
Fin Powrie has vast experience as a racing administrator and has served with distinction in Australia, Dubai and New Zealand. He not only served as the Chief Stipendiary Steward of the Dubai Race Club but also ensured that the International Racing Carnival became a truly global event with participation of horses from over 50 countries. In his previous job before accepting BTC’s offer Fin Powrie headed the Integrity Commission of New Zealand racing.
With his abundant knowledge and expertise Fin Powrie will be a huge asset in helping improve the manner in which racing is conducted in Bangalore and Mysore. Part of his portfolio is to identify and train young racing officials from around the country and those who get a chance to work with him are sure to benefit immensely.
Racing World caught up with this straight talking Aussie to find out how his first few months of working in India have been.
