Gold Coast track manager Nevesh Ramdhani set for return to Australian Turf Club in new role

Turf guru Nevesh Ramdhani will return to the Australian Turf Club (ATC) in a new role next month after being appointed the head of racing and wagering.

Ramdhani resigned from his post as Gold Coast Turf Club track manager on Wednesday to take over the role set to be left vacant by James Ross as he prepares to head to Hong Kong.

Ramdhani spent more than a decade with the Australian Turf Club and was Sydney's general manager of racecourses from 2019 to 2022.

He returns to the ATC after just under two years on the Gold Coast.
