NYTHA Trainers, prior to the pandemic Maria Cristina had an office in the RTCA-NY (Chaplaincy) building and has been working remote since them. We are excited to be operational again in the barn area as well as at our frontside location. Please encourage your staff to stop by so that they can continue to conveniently access the valuable programs and services offered by NYTHA.

Sincerely,

Kathy

*We will continue to provide our services at our regular frontside offices at each NYRA track.  Currently, we are located on the Ground Level at Aqueduct Racetrack.
