Thomas Henry Lowry (born 25 July 1865, Hastings, New Zealand, died 23 September 1944, Okawa, Hastings) was a New Zealand farmer, cricketer and racehorse breeder.
Educated at Christ's College, Christchurch and at Jesus College, Cambridge University, Lowry inherited the family property, Okawa, of 20,000 acres, in the Hawke's Bay region of the North Island when his father died in 1880. He married Helen ("Marsie") Watt, daughter of the New Zealand shipping magnate James Watt, in 1897. One of Marsie's sisters married Robert Baden-Powell's brother Francis; another married the British explorer Ewart Grogan.
Lowry played one first-class cricket match, captaining Hawke's Bay to victory over Taranaki in 1892. He constructed a cricket ground, "The Grove", on his property, which is still in use. He helped the Hawke's Bay Cricket Association bring out leading English professionals, including Albert Trott and Jack Board, to coach local players.
He developed Okawa, which had been largely a sheep and cattle farm, into one of New Zealand's leading racehorse studs. He owned several successful horses, such as Gondolier, Madrigal, Downfall (New Zealand Cup, 1908), Bobrikoff (24 wins from 52 starts, including the 1912 Auckland Cup) and Balboa (Auckland Cup, 1915). His most prominent breeding success was the mare Desert Gold, who won her first 19 races, finished with 36 wins from 59 starts, and held the New Zealand record for the amount of money won for 30 years. In 1916, 1917 and 1918 Lowry was the leading owner in New Zealand in terms of stakes won.
