Statement from the Chairman of the TBA, Philip Newton

Statement from the Chairman of the TBA, Philip Newton: "All of us at the TBA are shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of Paul Darling KC OBE Chairman of the Horse Race Betting Levy Board. 

"Paul was a constant and consistent voice of reason for the industry and his wise counsel will not be easily replaced. The TBA and the Breeding Industry has much to thank Paul for, particularly, his encouragement and support of the Great British Bonus. Paul was a friend, a fan and an asset to British Horse Racing and he will be much missed.

"Our thoughts are with his wife Camilla, his family, friends and colleagues at this very sad time."
