Racing: Gunn joins Club committee

Ben Gunn, a retired Cambridgeshire chief constable, and Jeremy Gompertz QC, a criminal barrister, attended the Jockey Club's reconvened integrity review committee yesterday.

The two have been appointed as independent members of the 12-strong committee, which is chaired by the Jockey Club senior steward, Christopher Spence. "Their extensive experience in law and law enforcement will, I'm sure, prove to be of great value to the committee in considering whether further measures are required to enhance the integrity of racing so as to ensure the confidence of the punter is maintained," Spence said.
