NY Thoroughbred Horseman's Association (NYTHA)

NY Thoroughbred Horseman's Association

The New York Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association is committed to representing the interests of owners and trainers at the New York Racing Association tracks. NYTHA recognizes that its constituents are the lifeblood of the racing industry in New York and focuses its efforts on doing what is best for New York horsemen.

Continuing Ed for Trainers and Assistant Trainers

The New York State Gaming Commission regulations require four hours of continuing education annually for all Thoroughbred trainers and assistant trainers licensed by the state of New York. There is a waiver available for trainers who are not stabled in New York and do not race regularly in the state. The rule reads as follows:

NYCRR § 4002.8. Qualifications for License, “In order to maintain a current license, trainers and assistant trainers must complete at least four hours per calendar year of continuing education courses approved by the commission. Trainers and assistant trainers who are not domiciled in New York and have 12 or fewer starts during the previous 12 months may request a waiver of this requirement from the State steward.”

To assist applicable New York’s horsemen in complying with this regulation, the Mid-Atlantic Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association (THA) has created a webpage with links to currently approved online courses that are eligible for CE credit.

Please click on the link below to access the THA’s Continuing Education Page with information, resources and links for eligible online courses.
