THE 56th international conference of horseracing authorities, organized by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA), was held on Monday in Paris, the day after the running of the Group 1 Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

After two years of convening virtually due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the in-person gathering was focused on reuniting members, highlighting the work of the Federation, and acquainting the industry and the many international delegates present on key current and future issues.
