curious Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago NZTR Club of the Year Award Finalists Announced New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) is thrilled to announce the finalists of the 2024 Club of the Year Awards, set to be awarded at the 2025 Industry Development Conference on 31 March. Each New Zealand Racing Club was assessed against a performance framework across four categories: Financial, Racing, Marketing and Compliance and Innovation. The selection of finalists and winners will be presented in three distinct categories: Metropolitan, Provincial, and Country Clubs. An overall Club of the Year Award will also be presented from the winners of each category. NZTR Chief Executive Officer Matt Ballesty is pleased to see our Clubs recognised for their performance. "We see our annual NZTR Club Awards as playing a pivotal role in recognising and celebrating the outstanding contributions and achievements of New Zealand’s well-performing racing Clubs," he said. "I look forward to getting to know our Club representatives at the Industry Development Conference and celebrating their collective wins." To reward our high performing Clubs, NZTR will provide a $20k prize fund distributed across the three categories: Metropolitan, Provincial, and Country, with each receiving $5k in prize fund. Additionally, the Overall Club of the Year will be granted $5k in prize fund. The prize fund should be used to invest in an event or on-course initiative and a short form business case will need to be presented to support the initiative by 31 July 2025. NZTR has outlined the finalists for the three categories below. 2024 Finalists (in alphabetical order) Metropolitan · Auckland Thoroughbred Racing · Canterbury Jockey Club · Waikato Thoroughbred Racing Provincial · Otago Racing Club · Racing Tauranga · Taranaki Racing Incorporated Country · Central Otago Racing Club · Masterton Racing Club · Wairarapa Racing Club Congratulations to all the finalist and we look forward to celebrating at the 2025 Industry Development Conference.

I can't wait to hear the overall winner myself, and what they are going to do with the 10k prize. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
