NZTR has welcomed the passing of the Racing Industry Amendment Bill, describing it as a landmark moment that strengthens the sustainability of racing while embedding a more responsible and modern framework for wagering in New Zealand.
Changes to New Zealand betting laws which passed in Parliament today will provide a vital boost to New Zealand sporting and racing codes and to the safety of New Zealand bettors when the bill becomes law later this month.
NZTBA, in collaboration with Kick Collective, has launched a new initiative that’s set to reshape how the public understands the care and commitment behind thoroughbred breeding in New Zealand.
NZTR, in partnership with the NZRMA and PGG Wrightson Turf, is pleased to announce Kent Lean of Waikato Thoroughbred Racing as the inaugural recipient of the PGG Wrightson Turf Emerging Racecourse Manager Award.
NZTR extends its heartfelt congratulations to three exceptional members of the Thoroughbred racing and wider equine community, recognised in the 2025 King’s Birthday Honours for their service and contribution to New Zealand society.
At the commencement of the 2024 synthetic track racing season, NZTR commissioned Professor Chris Rogers, and the team at Massey University, to produce a comprehensive track discussion document
