OwnerView Accepting Noms For New Owner Of The Year Award

OwnerView is accepting nominations for the 2025 New Owner of the Year Award–sponsored by 1/ST RACING–which honors a new Thoroughbred owner who has been successful in the sport and has had a positive impact on the industry, the organization said in a press release on Wednesday.

Nominees must have made their first start as a Thoroughbred owner in the past four years (since 2022), had an ownership stake in a horse at the time it won a stakes race in the past 12 months, and had a verifiable owner license in 2025.

Thoroughbred performance as well as a nominee's promotion of the sport will be considered.

Anyone, including current owners, can nominate an owner who meets the criteria for the award. A selection committee will choose the winner.

To submit a nomination, please contact Gary Falter for a form at 859.224.2803 or gfalter@jockeyclub.com. The deadline is Nov. 2.
