Senior figures to gather for crunch talks next week to discuss industry strategy

National Trainers Federation (NTF) chief executive Paul Johnson hopes a strategy to drive increased interest in racing and in turn boost the sport's income will start to emerge from crunch talks next week.

Key figures from across British racing are to come together for what is set to be a pivotal meeting in the creation of an industry strategy for the sport.

Chief executives representing participant groups and racecourses, along with Joe Saumarez Smith, Charlie Parker and Wilf Walsh, the respective chairs of the BHA, Thoroughbred Group and Racecourse Association, are set to take part in the talks.
