Horse Racing

 

Thanks for visiting NTRA.com. We appreciate your interest in the association, and especially your interest in Thoroughbred horseracing. In a sense, the NTRA is both league office for a big sport and trade association for a big industry, including related businesses like breeding.

Mostly, the sport of horseracing -- and the associated game of legal, pari-mutuel wagering or "handicapping" -- is a great source of entertainment, enjoyment, occasional bewilderment and frequent fun for millions of fans. If you are one already, that's great. Please let me know what you think of the site and any suggestions. If you are a newcomer to the game, this site in many ways is designed for you, as a way to learn about horseracing and handicapping at your own pace and convenience.
