Garrity joins ARC following 28 years within British horseracing, most recently as Racecourse Manager of Chelmsford City since it opened in 2015. Prior to that, he was Head of Racecourses at BHA, as well as Chair of the Joint Accreditation Board for Clerks of the Course.
As part of his new role, Garrity will oversee the training of new Clerks of the Course, as well as offering general support to the racecourse group’s current Clerks in multiple aspects of racing operations.
Managing Director of ARC’s Racing Division, Mark Spincer, said, “We are delighted to announce the appointment of Fraser to help support the team of Clerks across our group of racecourses. His experience, most recently at Chelmsford City Racecourse and from his time at BHA will be of real benefit for the whole team but especially the trainees that we have taken on.
Garrity commented: “I am delighted to join the ARC team, and look forward to working closely with Charlie Moore and the Clerks across the various racecourses. Throughout my years in racing across BHA and at racecourses, I’ve always worked closely with Clerks of the Course in all elements of their race day operation, so this role will involve much of the training of our new cohort will be ideal.”
The news was also accompanied by the appointment of several new trainee Clerks of the Course around the group. David Attwood will join Southwell Racecourse; Richard Fothergill joins Uttoxeter Racecourse; Isabelle Mangan has also been appointed Racing Executive at Lingfield Park Racecourse.
