[Wandering Eyes]

The inaugural Syndicate Management Conference will take place at Warwick Racecourse on Wednesday, Jan. 22, the Racecourse Syndicates Association (RSA) announced on Friday. Organised by the RSA, the event will include speakers from the BHA, RCA, Great British Racing, The Jockey Club, Arena Racing Co, the ROA and Retraining Of Racehorses. This conference is open to all commercial syndicate and racing club managers operating in the UK and will provide syndicate and racing club managers the opportunity to network with industry colleagues and to hear presentations from key stakeholders in UK racing and the opportunity to feed back.

Some of the speakers include:

• Harry Williams (British Horseracing Authority) – Syndicate Licensing and Regulation
• Louise Norman (Racehorse Owners Association) – The role of the ROA in supporting syndicates and racing clubs
• Panel speakers: Nadia Powell (The Jockey Club), Tabitha Killingbeck (The Racecourse Association) and Rebecca Davies (Arena Racing Company) joining RSA Chairman Dan Abraham for a round table discussion on The Raceday Experience for syndicates and racing clubs. The panel will answer questions and take feedback from syndicate and club managers on their racecourse experience
• Davina Grewal (Racehorse Owners Association) – the ROA VAT solution and VAT implications for syndicates.
• David Catlow (Managing Director, Retraining of Racehorses) – the role of Retraining Of Racehorses.

RSA Chairman Dan Abraham, “We believe a syndicate manager conference is long-overdue and represents a positive step forward from the RSA and its' members as racehorse syndication continues to grow as an industry and as the new BHA licensing and regulation comes into force over 2025/26.

“We're very grateful to The BHA, The Racecourse Association, The Jockey Club, Arena Racing Co, Great British Racing, The Racehorse Owners Association and Retraining of Racehorses in coming to speak and get feedback from delegates–as in many industries, progress often stalls where there are a number of conflicting stakeholders–we believe that getting together and discussing key issues in person can only be a step in the right direction for racing.

“This conference represents our ambition to improve racing for the better especially in these growth areas in racehorse ownership–syndicates and clubs are vital for racing's long-term future and the immediate willingness of key industry stakeholders to attend this conference and talk to professional syndicators underlines how important they see syndicates and clubs when shaping the sport for the future.”
