Thoroughbred racing in New Zealand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The racing of thoroughbred horses is a popular sport in New Zealand. The governing body is New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing Incorporated. The principal club is the Auckland Racing Club, which races at Ellerslie Racecourse (where the first Totalisator machine in the world was installed in 1919, see Sir George Julius).
Horses are frequently moved between New Zealand and its neighbour Australia, for races and for breeding purposes. The famous racehorse Phar Lap is claimed by both countries.
