OwnerView is now accepting nominations for its second New Owner of the Year Award. The award, honoring a new Thoroughbred owner who has been successful in the sport and has had a positive impact on the industry, will be presented at the Thoroughbred Owner Conference at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, Calif., which runs from Monday, Oct. 31, through Thursday, Nov. 3, 2016.
The first new owner award was presented to Sol Kumin at the Thoroughbred Owner Conference at Gulfstream Park in January. Nominees for the New Owner of the Year Award must have owned Thoroughbreds for less than three years, have had an interest in a horse at the time it won a stakes race in 2016, and have had a verifiable owner's license in 2016.
Anyone, including current owners, can nominate an individual who meets the criteria for the award. Thoroughbred performance, nominee's promotion of the sport, and humanitarian activities will be considered. A selection committee that includes industry personnel and established owners will choose the winner. The deadline to nominate an owner for New Owner of the Year is Saturday, Oct. 1. To submit a nomination, please contact Gary Falter for a nomination form at gfalter@jockeyclub.com or (859) 224-2803.
