It's Show time - get excited about IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup week

While it is a busy time of year the Board also wishes to advise that 2YO Sustaining Payments will soon be emailed/posted but these are not due until Monday, December 2, 2024.

This payment is for current yearlings that wish to race as two-year-olds in the 2025 year. If you elect to miss this payment you can still come in for your horses’ three-year-old year (2026) with this payment not due until July 1 , 2025.

Footnote : Chase A Dream's last 400 last year was 28.0 and one of the marquee performances in 2024. There will be plenty more in the days to come.
