Welcome to …
Manawatu Thoroughbred Racehorse Owners’ Association
The Manawatu Branch of the Thoroughbred Racehorse Owners’ Association covers Manawatu, Kapiti Coast, Wellington and Wairarapa. Our Committee meets every month and our meetings are also attended by committee members of the Central Districts Breeders’ Association.
The Association has contributed strongly over recent years and made submissions on all of the recent important national issues. Through our Secretary, Allan Fenwick, we are in excellent communication with the National Federation and regularly express our views and suggestions to the national body.
Majestic Horse Points Series
The current racing season is the sixth where we have conducted a Points Series for the joint memberships of our Association and the Central District Breeders’ Association. This series has proved popular and is based on a format initially introduced by the Central South Island Association.
This season was again a close competition and remains well supported by members of our Owners' Association, the CD and now also the Wellington Breeders' Associations.
The 2023/2024 Season winner is Bee Enchanted (42 points), owned by Kevin O'Donnell and Debra Masters. (See full results below).
The 2022/23 Season winner is Bradman (44 points), owned by John Roache - who was also 6th equal with Town Cryer (27 points).
The 2021/22 Season winner was Kick On owned by Philippa and Sam Trotter.
The 2020/21 Season Points Series was won by Deerfield, owned by Tony Bambry, Judith Bambry, Samantha Finnegan & Chrissy Bambry (trained by Chrissy Bambry).
Congratulations!
