The International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) brings together some 60 horseracing authorities (‘jockey clubs’) from 55 countries.
The primary aim of this association is to develop model rules to assist the harmonisation of international races through the International Agreement on Breeding, Racing and Wagering. When a horseracing authority signs an article of this Agreement, it means that it commits itself to incorporating this article into its national regulations.
