The next generation of thoroughbred industry leaders are being sought to help steer Thoroughbred Breeders Australia’s Next Crop program.

TBA is seeking members of a newly revitalised Next Crop committee, with a focus on strengthening the group’s vision, broadening its reach, and ensuring its long-term sustainability.

Since its launch in 2023, Next Crop has built a national community with around 800 members.

It conducts a range of events including the iconic Gold Coast Magic Millions Trivia Night, Mix & Mingle @ The Sales gatherings, foaling workshops, webinars and stallion parade tours.

TBA is now seeking applications for a new Next Crop Committee Group, which will oversee the initiative for a 12-month term.

“Committee members will be entrusted to uphold the responsibilities and objectives set by TBA, ensuring all activities align with the values and direction of the TBA brand and contribute to a vibrant future for the Australian thoroughbred industry,” TBA said in a statement.

The new committee is expected to consist of six to eight members, focused on everything from strategy and vision, events, membership, communication and governance.

TBA’s Head of Industry Education and Projects Madison Tims will support the new committee in an advisory capacity with applications to close at 5pm on Monday, October 6.
