Strangles protocols are now in place for New Plymouth, with a minimum two-week lockdown applying to all horses housed at or training at the New Plymouth Raceway.
NZTR’s temporary Strangles Testing Support Framework will conclude on 30 September 2026, following a significant industry investment to support affected owners and trainers, disease management and the clearance of horses from impacted properties.
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.
