The boss of NSW Racing has told a parliamentary inquiry into the sale of Rosehill Racecourse people are being encouraged to 'lie' in their submissions in order to 'smear him' as the future development hangs on by a thread.
NSW Racing boss Peter V'landys has accused members of the racing industry of using a parliamentary inquiry into the sale of Rosehill Racecourse to launch a "smear campaign" against him.Mr V'landys said NSW Racing has "never ever ever" had any intention of keeping the money from the sale themselves if it goes ahead.
Further questions have also been raised about the potential value of the Rosehill site after ATC board director Timothy Hale said he had never seen a formal valuation showing it could be worth $5 billion and revealed he had "never accepted" the figure. NSW Racing has faced questions about the Rosehill site, including allegations they plan to keep the money from the sale for themselves.
"I have three young children, and they are going to hear from this inquiry that I've done this … when I haven't," Mr V'landys said. "This is one of the last parcels in metropolitan Sydney of uncontaminated land to do dwellings at scale," he said.
