NTL Explained

A New Era of Horse Racing

The National Thoroughbred League is reinventing horse racing for a new generation, turning legendary tracks into arenas of energy, style, and competition.

Ten city-based teams face off through a season of high-stakes events where every race matters. Each stop combines speed, celebrity, and spectacle, creating an atmosphere closer to a music festival than a day at the track.

From the opening gate to the championship finish, NTL delivers a season-long story of cities, rivalries, and champions in the making.

Where Legends & Leaders Collide

Each team represents a city, and the personalities that define it. Owners include bold entrepreneurs, athletes, artists, and entertainers who bring their own style and fan base to the sport. Behind the scenes are powerhouse trainers, rising jockeys, and elite thoroughbreds ready to compete for glory. From the Tennessee Studs to the Miami Thunderbolts, every team builds a culture, a following, and a sense of belonging. Pick your team, follow the action, and watch as the rivalries unfold. This is horse racing reimagined as a team sport.

More Than a Race, It’s an Event

Every NTL weekend is designed to thrill with live racing, big-name performances, fashion, food, and unforgettable moments shared with fans and celebrities alike.

Follow your team city to city or cheer them on from home with live updates, standings, and behind-the-scenes access.

Whether you’re in the stands, at the after-party, or joining the action online, NTL makes every fan part of the story.
