2025 National Thoroughbred Week Launched

_{National Thoroughbred Week, the newly launched industry initiative designed to bring the public closer to the thoroughbred and our sport, is excited to confirm a truly trans-Tasman exposure, with hosts confirmed across all Australian and New Zealand regions.}

_{The 5-day event, scheduled for 20-24 November, will see racing stables, stud farms, and aftercare facilities open their doors, giving the public a firsthand look at the daily care, dedication, and passion behind Thoroughbred racing.}

_{Public registrations to attend these events will open on Monday, 13 October.}

_{The initiative aligns with Together for Racing International (TfRI), a movement designed to share best practices across racing nations to promote equine welfare, community engagement, and sustainable industry growth. It also follows the footsteps of National Racehorse Week (UK), which has made significant strides in how the industry engages with the public.}

_{How to get involved}

_{Opportunities to be involved and support the not-for-profit NTW to deliver a foundational blueprint for the annual event still exist. Visit www.thoroughbredweek.com.au or contact hello@thoroughbredweek.com.au}
