New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing has issued a new Strangles Directive, effective from Thursday 10 September 2026, following a review of the temporary measures introduced during the current outbreak.
NZTR, in conjunction with the RIB, has today confirmed that all trials and race meetings at the RACE Awapuni track will cease for the remainder of 2025, as RACE Inc. and NZTR work towards a long-term plan for the sustainability of the track.
