The Abstract Submission Portal will open on 22 April 2025

Researchers working in fields that impact the health or welfare of the Thoroughbred racehorse are invited to submit abstracts of work to be considered for podium or poster presentations. Abstracts must indicate how the work may lead to practical improvements in the care and safety of the racehorse.

Abstracts will undergo peer review by the Foundation’s Veterinary Advisory Committee, which will consider criteria such as relevance of the work to the Conference aims and objectives, study design and methodology, and the significance of findings. The Committee will determine whether the abstract will be accepted for podium or poster presentations, or rejected. The Committee's decision will be final.

Accepted abstracts will be published in the programme book.

Announcement of abstracts that have been selected for presentation at the Conference will be made in September 2025. All applicants will be informed of the results by email.

Presenting authors will be required to register for the conference and to pay the registration fee, however, accommodation in the Conference Hotel will be provided by the Foundation for Presenters from overseas.
