Delia Bushell's resignation letter: the full explosive text with analysis

The Jockey Club released a statement on Sunday revealing Delia Bushell, its group chief executive, had resigned after an independent investigation upheld complaints including the bullying of colleagues, the use of racist comments and sharing offensive material. Shortly after, Bushell provided to the Racing Post her explosive and extraordinary resignation letter. Here we publish the full text of that letter, with our annotations and analysis accompanying it.

Dear Board of Stewards,

I am writing to convey my sense of shock and sadness at my treatment by the Jockey Club, and to tender my resignation with immediate effect.
