Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 7, 2020 Journalists Share Posted April 7, 2020 France Galop president Edouard de Rothschild attended a meeting on Tuesday morning with representatives from France’s government ministries overseeing the agriculture and accounting sectors. Along with Jean-Pierre Barjon, his counterpart in the French trotting industry, de Rothschild discussed previous submissions to government documenting the shutdown of racing in the country and its affect on the industry’s 21,000 workers. The economic impact of the cessation of racing since Mar. 17 until the end of April is estimated to be €58 million. A key factor in the resumption of the sport in France and its recovery is dependent on the reopening of the many PMU outlets within cafes and restaurants, which are currently closed. A statement released by France Galop on Tuesday read, “The presidents particularly appreciated the excellent listening skills of their interlocutors, their understanding of the problems and their requests for clarification relevant to the examination of the case. Additional information has been requested and will be provided promptly.” The post French Racing Heads Meet Government appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
