<p>The Australian Turf Club members vote on the $5 billion Rosehill racecourse sale proposal has been delayed for a second time.</p> <p>ATC chairman Peter McGauran advised members via email on Tuesday that the vote has now been pushed back to May 27 so the club can finalise plans and provide more information on the proposal.</p> <p>Members were scheduled to vote on April 3 on the possible sale of Rosehill racecourse to make way for 25,000 new homes. The vote was then reset for May 12 before the announcement of a further delay of 15 days.</p> <p>ATC has confirmed those votes received prior to April 3 are now void and the club's 11,000-plus members would be required to vote again on the future of Rosehill.</p> <p>"The 27th of May is a new meeting, and because members are voting on new resolutions, constitutionally that means the voting process must start afresh and members are required to vote again,'' the email read.</p> <p>The Rosehill sale proposal is such an important decision for the future of Sydney and NSW racing, members are entitled to have as much information as possible before voting.</p> <p>As it stands, there is no certainty about a new racetrack being built to replace Rosehill.</p> <p>But members should be made aware that if there is a replacement racetrack, where will it be located? Will it also be used as a training centre?</p> <p>If a new training centre needs to be built, where will it be located?</p> <p>What will these new facilities look like and when will they be opened?</p> <p>How will the extra money be used and invested for the betterment of the sport?</p> <p>These are just some of the crucial questions members want answered prior to voting on the proposal. Hopefully by delaying the vote until later next month it gives the ATC enough time to finalise plans and provide all the relevant answers.</p> <p>The Rosehill sale proposal has divided the racing industry like nothing we have seen since the tumultuous TVN days. Sadly, friendships have been destroyed on both sides of the debate.</p> <p>But it's time for commonsense and knowledge to replace distrust and misinformation.</p> <p>ATC members deserve the right to be able to make an informed decision on the future of Rosehill.</p> <p>Just like the upcoming Federal Election, not everyone will agree with the outcome of the vote but that is how democracy works.</p>
