After World War II, several trainers gathered from Maisons-Laffitte gathered together and created a syndicate to develop a network around them. In 1977, Monsieur d’Aillières changed the syndicate for the actual Trainers’ Federation.

Afterwards, the office was relocated to Chantilly. It is a significant milestone for the trainers because from now on they were able to get a health protection as a group that was right for their needs. The federation pays for 30% of the monthly costs of this health plan for each member. The plan charges are the same for every single trainer, with no influence of his age or his family situation. In 1992, Monsieur d’AILLIERES was able to get a seat on the France Galop Committee to represent trainers. 

It is obvious that the Thoroughbred Trainers Federation can’t represent our members while being isolated from other professionals of the racing industry. The main purpose of our action are to work together to build the tomorrow’s French Racing Industry.

As an example of our actions, the Federation has worked for more than 15 years for trainers to have the agricultural fiscal advantage obtained in 2004. Furthermore, the agricultural status was obtained for trainers in 2005 (Thanks to Dominique de BELLAIGUE, president of The Cheval Français).
