Welcome to …
The Auckland Thoroughbred Racehorse Owners’ Association
Our region covers Auckland, Northland and Counties Manukau areas.
There are many magical aspects to owning and racing horses. Among those is the company and friendship of others who share the same passion.
The industry is at a time of great opportunity with the new StrathAyr track at Ellerslie and boosted stakes. It's an exciting time to be involved in racing as an owner, after a challenging few years.
We encourage and support the optimism, pragmatism and dedication of our fellow owners while at the same time giving them a voice within the national Federation and thus, ultimately, within the realm of NZTR.
Support, education and enjoyment – as well as dining and wining and lots of banter – that is all to be encouraged. Remember – your horse is only one race away from a win ...
We organise annual social events for members and their guests, with prizes, a Punters’ Club and lots of camaraderie.
We congratulate all members who have winning horses - and we look forward to welcoming new members to our region!
Sally Blyth, President
