Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) CEO Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges has been re-elected as Chairman of the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA), with his second three-year term taking effect from October 2024.

According to information from the HKJC, Engelbrecht-Bresges – who became the IFHA’s first Chairman from Asia when originally elected in 2021 – was unanimously re-elected during the Executive Council meeting of the IFHA in Paris on 8 October. This followed the 58th International Conference of Horseracing Authorities the previous day.

“I look forward to continue working with my valued colleagues and members of the IFHA to further enhance our sport at an international level,” Engelbrecht-Bresges said. “I would like to thank the Executive Council which has entrusted me to continue to lead the Federation into what is an exciting, but challenging, time for racing globally.”

The IFHA was previously led by Louis Romanet from 1994 until his retirement in 2021, with Engelbrecht-Bresges becoming the IFHA’s second ever Chairman. Also re-elected along as Vice-Chairs this week were Jim Gagliano, Masayuki Goto and Horacio Esposito, joined for the first time by Henri Pouret following the retirement of Brian Kavanagh.

The IFHA is a federation of more than 60 racing authorities from different countries and regions and is the global leader for the international sport of thoroughbred racing. It seeks to promote all facets of the worldwide sport of thoroughbred racing, including the welfare of equine and human athletes, and to protect and grow racing’s global social and economic significance.
