Shortlisted nominees announced for the TBA Flat Breeders' Awards next month

The shortlisted nominees have been announced for five of the 13 award categories at this year’s TBA Flat Breeders’ Awards evening, an event which takes place on July 10 at Chippenham Park, near Newmarket.  

Hosted by Gina Bryce, the Dullingham Park-sponsored event will see breeders, owners, trainers and stud employees gather to celebrate British-bred successes from last year's Flat season.

Kate Sigsworth, deputy chair of the TBA and chair of the TBA Flat Racing Committee, said: "The annual TBA Flat Breeders' Awards evening is always a well-attended event to celebrate the best of British from the previous Flat season, as well as recognising those individuals who make or have made a significant contribution to the British breeding industry.

"Over the last few years, we have seen more and more studs bringing along their teams for the occasion, which is really positive. It's a fantastic start to Newmarket’s July festival and our thanks go to Dullingham Park and all the other sponsors for their generous support of these awards."

Announced earlier this year, the winners of the Flat statistical awards are presented on the night along with the TBA Stud Employee Award. Sponsored by Peter Stanley’s New England Stud, the winning individual takes home £2,500 and a Charlie Langton bronze, with the shortlist of nominees to be announced in due course.   

The evening also plays host to the two prestigious awards, the Andrew Devonshire and Dominion Bronzes, with the winners selected by the TBA Trustees from a shortlist of nominees by closed vote and announced on the night.

Tickets cost £80 (inc VAT) per person and are available to buy via the events section on the TBA website. Admission includes a champagne reception, a two-course dinner and the awards ceremony.
