    NTF WEEKLY – 10 OCTOBER 2017 Have your say on British racecourses The Racecourse Association is requesting the help of trainers to get a better understanding of the key reasons for running horses at their Racecourses. A joint letter from the RAC and NTF Presidents inviting trainers to participate can be read on ntfmuse here. By completing the survey below, the results will enable racecourses to better understand the entry process and ultimately how they can improve the experience for trainers and owners. The survey has a number of generalities which have been necessary for practical reasons. However the RCA hopes the survey can be used to drive positive change and help to inform prize money and spending decisions. Go to the survey at this link https://racecourseassociation.wufoo.eu/forms/p158u9dn0sxfsi0/ ROA event for Racing Secretaries in Newmarket The ROA will be hosting an informal social event for Racing Secretaries and Senior Staff at The Racing Centre in Newmarket on Monday 23rd October.

There will also be the opportunity to discuss ways that the association can support secretaries in their daily communications with owners. A selection of sandwiches, finger food and cakes will be provided. Those wishing to attend please RSVP to Chloe Martin [email protected] no later than Wednesday 18th October.
