  • Nominations close on Tuesday, 20 November
  • More than £120,000 prize money up for grabs again in 2019
  • Easier than ever to nominate with online only application process

There is just one week left to nominate for the 2019 UK Godolphin Stud and Stable Staff Awards, with nominations closing on Tuesday, 20 November.

Nominations can be made by anyone within the industry, so trainers, breeders, owners, managers and colleagues are all encouraged to nominate with just a few days left.

Sponsored by Godolphin and run by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) in association with the Racing Post, the awards offer more than £120,000 in prize money, with up to £40,000 available to a single yard or stud.

Separate prizes are also awarded to the yard or stud of each winner, meaning the whole team benefits from any nominees who are successful.

The 2019 award winners will be selected from a shortlist who will be interviewed by a panel of judges, overseen by Brough Scott, who said: “There is not long left to nominate for next year’s awards and I would encourage trainers, breeders, owners, colleagues and managers to show your appreciation to the workforce who do so much behind the scenes of British racing.

“These awards are hugely important in giving the industry the opportunity to recognise and reward the outstanding work stud and stable staff do throughout the year.”

The winners will then be announced during a ceremony on Monday, 18 February, 2019 at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel in Knightsbridge, London.

The categories are:

Leadership Award

Dedication Award

Rider/Groom Award

Stud Staff Award

Rory MacDonald Community Award

David Nicholson Newcomer Award (for those who have entered racing within the last three years)

The overall Employee of The Year award is then chosen from the winner of the first four awards above.

For the first time this year nominations can only be completed online via the Godolphin Stud and Stable Staff Awards website https://www.thoroughbredawards.co.uk/
