General Info

NOW IS THE TIME TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE ARIZONA THOROUGHBRED BREEDERS ASSOCIATION. This is a very changing and challenging industry and we need your help in carrying on the goals and achievements set forth in the beginning of the Association. The A.T.B.A. was organized in 1967 as a non-profit organization "dedicated to the betterment of the Thoroughbred industry in the State of Arizona." Since 1967, the Arizona Thoroughbred Breeders Association has had an influence on almost all aspects of racing laws and regulations which has benefited all horsemen running in the State of Arizona. Fifteen directors, serving for three years each on a rotating basis, govern the policy of the Association. The directors also assume duties during the year such as attending Arizona Racing Commission meetings and monitoring legislative matters pertaining to our industry. Among our accomplishments was the establishment of a fund for Stallion Awards and the defeat of a bill that would have brought about the loss of some of our owners awards.
