Deputy Heydon has also mentioned areas of racing that are not under the remit of the regulatory body at the moment, such as stall-handlers and the people who operate the photo finish. It would make sense if everything associated with the race - everything before the horse goes into the stall, everything during the race, and everything afterwards - were associated with the regulatory body. There are two parts: the starting of the race, with the stall-handlers and so on, and the photo finish. It would be common sense to bring them all in under the regulatory body.
