NTRA TODAY IN THOROUGHBRED RACING HISTORY

October 25

: 2003 Trainer Richard Mandella set a single-day record winning four Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships races at Santa Anita. Mandella saddled Halfbridled (Juvenile Fillies); Action This Day (Bessemer Trust Breeders’ Cup Juvenile); Johar (John Deere Breeders’ Cup Turf); and Pleasantly Perfect (Breeders’ Cup Classic, Powered by Dodge). The Johar dead heat with High Chaparral in the Turf marked the first dead heat in Breeders’ Cup history. And in guiding Halfbridled to victory, jockey Julie Krone became the first woman to ride the winner of a Breeders’ Cup flat race.

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.
