OwnerView is now accepting nominations for the 2019 New Owner of the Year Award, presented by Fasig-Tipton, which will honor a new Thoroughbred owner who has been successful in and had a positive impact on the sport and industry. The deadline for nominations is Sept. 30, and the award will be presented at the Thoroughbred Owner Conference at Santa Anita scheduled for Oct. 28 through Oct. 30 ahead of the Breeders' Cup World Championships. Nominees must have made their first start as a Thoroughbred owner over the past four years, and had an ownership interest in a stakes winner in the past 12 months. They must have had a verifiable owner's license in 2019. Anyone can make a nomination, and a selection committee of industry personnel and established owners will choose the winner. Past recipients of the New Owner of the Year Award include Sol Kumin, LNJ Foxwoods, Charles and Susan Chu, and the Churchill Downs Racing Club. “The annual Thoroughbred Owner Conference celebrates Thoroughbred ownership, so it is the perfect venue to present the New Owner of the Year Award,” said Gary Falter, project manager for OwnerView. To submit a nomination, contact Gary Falter for a nomination form at (859) 224-2803 or gfalter@jockeyclub.com.
