July 21, 2011

British Horseracing’s largest commercial group The Jockey Club, has signed on as the first partner of Leaders in Racing,

Leaders in Racing will be a new conference within the Leaders Sports Summit stable.

The inaugural event will take place in The British capital this year on 6th October alongside well-established conferences for soccer, sponsorship, digital sport and performance.

The major challenges will be the hot topic at the London conference which will welcome the major players in the Sport such as governing authorities, broadcasters, racecourses, betting operators, owners, jockeys, sponsors, government representatives and experts from other sports.

Jockey Club’s chief group chief executive Simon Bazalgette said that “Racing has a fantastic story to tell and opportunities to share. I can think of no better environment to communicate our sport’s progress, challenges and vision than within the Leaders Sports Summit, which attracts 1,000 senior level delegates and 180 media from over 45 countries. Racing is not always well represented at major sports industry events and it’s time that changed” .

James Worrall, who is the chief executive of Leaders Sports Summit added that “We are delighted to be partnering such a prestigious organisation as the Jockey Club, which is at the heartbeat of the UK’s second most attended sport. The support we are receiving will ensure that the conference will be an unprecedented success for racing and all its stakeholders.”
