The 37th Asian Racing Conference will be held in Seoul, South Korea from 13 to 18 May.
The theme of this year’s conference is Innovate, Collaborate and Transform.
The first ARC was held in Tokyo in 1960, attended by 69 delegates from 12 racing organisations representing seven countries. An ARC has been held approximately every 2 years since that time, with delegate numbers swelling to more than 800 from more than 30 countries, including many delegates from Europe, North America and South America.
The ARF’s activities include:
Promoting and facilitating the internationalisation of racing
Quality control of ‘black type’, which the ARF carries out through its Asian Pattern Committee
Harmonization of the rules of racing and of drug control across its members throughout the region
Assisting the development of racing throughout the ARF footprint.
A delegation from Phumelela, including CEO Rian du Plessis and Clyde Basel, as well as RA CEO Larry Wainstein will be attending.
