The FRBC was created in 2000 to promote the French racing and breeding industry abroad. Their aim is to help foreign racing professionals discover more about pursuing their interests on French soil, whether that be buying at sales in France or having a horse in training with a French trainer. Their dedicated team, headed by Capucine Houel, is present at all major French sales and race meetings and they are more than happy to help and provide any information necessary in order to facilitate buying, breeding or racing in France. They can organise visits to studs, training centres or hospitality at the races, and also reimburse travel costs for visitors who purchase at French public auctions. Cecile Adonias is responsible for the National Hunt division of the FRBC. Her role is to help Irish and English owners and trainers looking to find a future jumping star on French soil, and they could be following their purchase into the winners’ enclosure at the 2016 Cheltenham Festival.
