Hetta Harris Joins Racing Welfare In New Role
Hetta Harris has been appointed as the new Outreach and Engagement Officer–Thoroughbred Stud & Breeding Sector–for Racing Welfare. She began in this new position in May. Funding for the role was secured from The Gerald Leigh Charitable Trust.
Previously Harris ran her own pre-training business in Wiltshire and, prior to that, training for Qatar Racing at Robins Farm in Surrey. She also spent time in American and Australia in both training and stud operations. Harris is also a trustee at the British Racing School.
She is currently working to identify Racing Welfare's existing contact with the breeding community as well as identifying areas that may have had less contact with the charity or have less awareness of services, working with various stakeholders and Racing Welfare's regional welfare teams to better understand this.
Speaking on behalf of The Gerald Leigh Charitable Trust, Sarah Whitney said, “We are delighted to be continuing to support the charitable work of Racing Welfare with the development of this new initiative to appoint a dedicated engagement and outreach officer specifically for the bloodstock and breeding industry. The Gerald Leigh Charitable Trust really hopes that more people working within these workplaces will be made fully aware of all the many services which Racing Welfare offers to both employers and employees.”
“I am delighted to have joined Racing Welfare and to focus on the stud and breeding community,” said Harris. “There is a lot that Racing Welfare can offer this sector of the industry and I hope we can grow our support in the months to come.”

Saratoga’s Hall Of Fame S. Rescheduled Friday
After a deluge of rainfall this past week in the Saratoga Springs area, last Friday's $500,000 GII National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame S. for 3-year-old colts at a mile over the grass was postponed seven days, as an interesting mix of American and European invaders reconvene on the Inner Turf.
With conditions which could be soft to yielding, trainer Chad Brown saddles three entries with GISP Appraise (Ire) Kodiac {GB}), Mischievous Angel (Into Mischief) and Carl Spackler (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}), while also present is the winner of GIII Manila S. July 7 in Elmont, More Than Looks (More Than Ready) from the stable of Cherie DeVaux, who was installed as the 5-2 morning-line favorite and cross-entered in the GII Secretariat S. at Colonial Downs on Saturday.
General Jim (Into Mischief) gets back to the turf, something he hasn't tried since he was a juvenile. The Shug McGaughey trainee won the GII Pat Day Mile at Churchill Downs on the Derby undercard and then was a well-beaten sixth to Arabian Lion (Justify) in the GI Woody Stephens on Belmont S. Day.
As for the European contingent, who customarily relish a saturated course, Ocean Vision (Ire) (U S Navy Flag) ships over. The bay colt competed in Ireland, France and Qatar and is trained by Godolphin Flying Start program grad Tim Donworth and was last seen running fifth June 11 in the G3 Prix Paul de Moussac at ParisLongchamp. He will be joined by Mysterious Night (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) for Charlie Appleby, who will look to harness some of that late speed that he flashed the last time he was in North America when he won the GI Summer S. at Woodbine over Appraise as a juvenile.
