The New Zealand Racing Hall of Fame recognises and honours those whose achievements have enriched the New Zealand thoroughbred horse racing industry.
History
[edit]The Hall of Fame's first group of honorees were inducted in 2006,[1] and inductions are held every other year.[2] The inaugural chairman was Gerald Fell.[2]
Due to COVID-19, the 2020 Induction dinner scheduled for 3 May 2020 was postponed. At that stage, three inductees had been announced: Mufhasa, James McDonald and Sir Peter Vela. The dinner was held on 2 May 2021 and nine new inductees were welcomed.[3]
