How to find a trainer

If you are or want to be a racehorse owner and are looking for a trainer you can search the latest listing online by going to the Licence-Holder Contacts listed under the online Racing Programme Guide on Love Racing: https://loveracing.nz/RacingProgrammeGuide

Please note the distinction between licence types:

A Licence - or Licence to Train

A Class A Trainer’s License is granted to those primarily offering Thoroughbred training services as their profession.

B Licence - previously known as Permit to Train or Owner-Trainers

A Class B Trainer’s License is granted to trainers with horses having less than 50 raceday starts per year consistently.

Pre-Trainer Licence

A Pre-Trainer License is granted to those who provide horses with early education and preparedness for racing. They are able to enter horses in trials but not start them in races.
