The film, which was a montage of clips of racing over the years and featuring statistical highlights covering both racing and breeding was very well received, and was rated as one of the best presented at this Conference.
The IFHA's International Conference included talks covering Horse Welfare, Current economic trends in breeding and racing, Wagering issues and the impact of the internet to Investec's sponsorship of the Epsom Derby.
The IFHA Conference is always held on the Monday after the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe won this year in sensational fashion by Workforce in a narrow finish from a Japanese rank outsider.
