Police Remove Mark Latham From Royal Randwick After Turf Club Declares Him Barred

He says he was never told of any ban, foreshadowing legal action.

Overview

  • NSW Police escorted the NSW MP from the members' area at Royal Randwick during Epsom Day in the early afternoon after a request from Australian Turf Club officials.
  • Police reported no further action after he complied with directions to leave the venue.
  • The turf club says he is not permitted on-course because he resigned his membership during an investigation into an alleged verbal tirade at Rosehill in April.
  • The club had placed him on a 12‑month good‑behaviour bond over the April incident involving a senior official.
  • Latham says he attended as another member’s guest and was unaware of any prohibition, and the episode follows his high-profile disputes over the Rosehill sale and criticism of Racing NSW chief Peter V’landys.
