NTRA TODAY IN THOROUGHBRED RACING HISTORY 

October 6

1979 In their only race together, champions Affirmed and Spectacular Bid met in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Odds-on favorite Affirmed, ridden by Laffit Pincay Jr., won by 3/4 of a length. Affirmed was later voted Horse of the Year off this convincing victory over Spectacular Bid, who was named champion 3-year-old.

WHAT WE DO.

The mission of the NTRA is to increase the popularity, welfare and integrity of Thoroughbred racing through consensus-based leadership, legislative advocacy, safety and integrity initiatives, fan engagement and corporate partner development.
