In this one-off interview, Patrick Masterson the Managing Director of Newton Abbot racecourse talks about the challenges independent racecourses face in the current climate. He discusses media rights, advertising, the importance of 'Millennials', the difficulty facing on-course bookmakers, how hard racecourses are hit when they lose meetings and where he'd like to be in 5 years.
