NTRA TODAY IN THOROUGHBRED RACING HISTORY
February 9
- 1974 Chris McCarron rode his first winner, a five-year-old gelding named Erezev, at Bowie Racecourse. By year’s end, McCarron had established a then-record number of winners for a single season: 546. On Nov. 30, 1989, jockey Kent Desormeaux eclipsed that mark.

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.
