Press release about the Kenilworth alleged incident
3 months 4 weeks ago
PRESS RELEASE
As a background, the NHA received a written complaint on 17 January 2025, regarding an incident on 4 January 2025, at Kenilworth Racecourse. The NHA subscribes to a zero-tolerance policy and given the allegations within the complaint, the NHA immediately opened an inquiry into the aforementioned events, which inquiry process allowed for due process to unfold.
As a result of the abovementioned, certain individuals grasped the opportunity to deliberately fictionalise at least two (2) known recordings/voice clips, published and circulated it in the public domain, for dramatic purposes to instigate a false and equally damning narrative, designed to defame the name of the party/s involved as well as that of the NHA.
The NHA distances itself from such malicious recordings/voice clips which have been generated using artificial intelligence. Due to the nature and the false assertions of the recordings/voice clips, the NHA has established through its internal investigatory division, the suspected company and individual/s involved in orchestrating these events and the NHA will be handing over the preliminary information to the office of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation to continue the investigation and prosecute those directly involved, along with those individuals associated thereto. To the extent applicable, the NHA reserves the right to simultaneously proceed against any member or licenced official in terms of the Rules of the NHA including but not limited to Rule 72.1.43.

That is as clear as Terra petra. Explains nothing, no feedback on the initial complaint just noise made public and will ensure the voice notes get even wider coverage.

.....don't know why the NHRA would want to go after those that seem to be simply spoofing about what was firstly said to have been a rumor..... what are they hoping to achieve other than more mounting legal costs if and when they also at a steep cost try to trace the origins of this tomfoolery.....do they not want to just stick to policing horse racing insteadĀ of trying to quash or tidy up the alleged actions of some of their employee/s....and no I did not receive any form electronically transmitted memes or AI altered messages......but now that the NHRA have issued this rather ambiguousĀ press releaseĀ the penny has dropped.....oops
