The governing body of the National Trainers Federation (NTF) is led by a three-member Presidential Triumvirate and a Council with representatives from each of the 6 NTF Regions, each of whom are supported by a Deputy.
Each of the six geographical regions provide a Regional Representative and a Deputy who are elected to serve for a period of three years.
Any retiring member may stand for re-election.
Trainers can be co-opted onto the Council to provide additional support and insight.
The main function of the Council is to represent and protect members interests in all matters which affect the business of training racehorses, and in all negotiations with other bodies in the racing industry.
