As detailed in our strategy document published in March 2026, the NTF view is that the Fixture List continues to be sub-optimal for the sport. Although the decision to maintain race volume, and the commercial realities behind that, is understood, it is our belief that it is vital for the sport to seek to optimise the fixture list in the coming years.

The National Trainers Federation (NTF) has published its strategy for the future of the fixture list and race programme.

The National Trainers Federation (NTF) has announced that Hugo Palmer has been appointed as its new President, succeeding Nick Alexander, whose two-year term concluded at the Federation’s Annual General Meeting in London.

Racecourse Media Group (RMG) and the National Trainers Federation (NTF), who represent and promote the interests of British racehorse trainers, have agreed a new two-year partnership to support trainers and help further grow the sport of horse racing.

The National Trainers Federation (NTF) is today launching a new substance misuse at work policy available to all members.
