New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing
New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing Inc (NZTR) is the governing body of the thoroughbred code in New Zealand. It develops all equine training programs in New Zealand and runs dedicated apprentice schools in the main racing regions. NZTR communicates all relevant information within and outside the thoroughbred code.
