TfRI resulted from a 2019 education forum hosted by Godolphin in Newmarket, UK. This event gathered thoroughbred breeding, racing, and education professionals from six countries who addressed challenges to inclusion, attracting newcomers, supporting education, and workforce enrichment. Forum attendees collaborated on a global vision and strategy to grow and sustain the thoroughbred industry. The outcome was Together for Racing International, which focuses on three pillars for development: education, community engagement, and workforce. 
 
TfRI is a platform for connecting the world with the thoroughbred. The resources and inspirational content on the website will inform students, educators, parents, and industry members about available opportunities for learning and involvement. It also serves as a networking medium for countries to collaborate and support the progression of emerging programs. 
 
TfRI is chaired by Chris Grant and developed through a network of global steering committee members from Australia, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Japan, and the United States.
 
Grant was Vice-Chair of London’s ground-breaking 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Legacy International Development Programme, International Inspiration, and has moderated several editions of the global Beyond Sport Forum. 
 
TfRI global steering committee members represent the following educational and workforce organisations: AFASEC (FR); France-Galop (FR); Godolphin (Globally); Horse Racing Ireland (IRE); Irish National Stud (IRE); Kentucky Equine Talent Pipeline Project (USA); North American Racing Academy (USA); Racing Together (GB); The Racing Foundation (GB); and Thoroughbred Industry Careers (AUS).
 
Myles Foreman, CEO of Racing Australia shared the following statement:
 
“Racing Australia is working closely with the Principal Racing Authorities and industry via a national working group to support objectives of TfRI, and welcomes the launch of the TfRI website.” 

TfRI Australian committee representative, Thoroughbred Industry Careers (TIC) CEO Lindy Maurice, said  “This website attests to the positive impact that the racing industry is having on individuals and communities in Australia and in other major racing jurisdictions.  TfRI reinforces we’re a part of a global industry and we are looking forward to seeing what this alliance can achieve together."
