First Year Trainees

They met with Susan Martin at the Jockey Club and went on a tour, discussing the Jockey Club roles and responsibilities. Remi Bellocq spoke to the group about the Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association which covered political factors and led to an interesting discussion.
