Mauritius\u2019 Gambling Regulatory Authority<\/strong> (GRA) has opened applications for new trainers and stables ahead of the 2027 horse-racing season, with applications being accepted from both local and international applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GRA announced the opening in a press communiqu\u00e9 issued on August 28, while also confirming that the renewal process is underway for operators already licensed or registered by the Authority. The GRA said: \u201capplications for new trainers and stables are presently open to local and international<\/strong> applicants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move means prospective trainers and stable operators from outside Mauritius can also apply to participate in the country\u2019s horse-racing sector for the 2027 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, existing participants in the industry are required to go through the renewal process<\/strong>. The categories covered include trainers and stables, assistant trainers, equestrian centres, riders, stable supervisors and equine professionals. The deadline for both new applications and renewals is November 30, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
