Racing SA has announced that Vaughn Lynch will step down as CEO, effective February 2025, after deciding to return to Victoria with his family. Lynch, who has served two tenures as CEO, has been a key figure in driving progress within the South Australian racing industry.
During his leadership, Lynch secured major achievements, including increasing the share of the Point of Consumption Tax returned to racing, implementing significant prizemoney and infrastructure funding boosts, and negotiating a landmark seven-year sponsorship deal with Sportsbet. Additionally, he played a pivotal role in brokering a new media rights deal with Racing.com.
Lynch will remain in the role until early 2025 to ensure a smooth transition while Racing SA searches for a new CEO. His contributions have left a lasting impact on the industry, setting a solid foundation for future growth.
