During Monday's International Conference of Horseracing Authorities, the Executive Council of the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) re-elected incumbent Chairman Louis Romanet and Vice-Chairman Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges (Asia). Jim Gagliano (Americas) and Brian Kavanagh (Europe) were also elected. The term is three years and lasts from October 2018-October 2021.
“Horse racing is a globalized industry, and the IFHA remains dedicated to its task of promoting and standardising best practices,” said Romanet. “The newly re-elected Vice-Chairmen and I will continue in our efforts to bring uniformity to racing through the implementation of our strategic plan, which outlines the need for robust integrity measures. That includes but is not limited to the worldwide adoption of Article 6E of the International Agreement, which calls for out-of-competition testing for prohibited substances at any time in the career of any horse.”
