The latest opportunity to celebrate the work of a colleague, to motivate an employee or simply to appreciate the work done by all those who work in the back rooms, offices and stable blocks of the thoroughbred racing and breeding industry has arrived with the opening of nominations for the 2023 Australian Stud and Stable Staff Awards.

The nomination deadline is Friday, 17 February.

Now in their ninth year, the Awards have directly rewarded more than 100 workers whose vital contributions to the industry is so often taken for granted.

All of them have the opportunity to again be acknowledged, thanks to the Awards conducted by Thoroughbred Breeders Australia, Racing Australia with the global support of Godolphin and a list of industry sponsors.

In 2023, the Australian Stud and Stable Staff Awards will again offer cash prizes in seven categories covering all aspects of racing, breeding and associated areas.

Awards will be made in the categories of Leadership, Dedication to Racing, Dedication to Breeding, Administrative or Ancillary Staff, Horsemanship, Thoroughbred Care and Welfare, and there is a Newcomer Award for anyone who has worked in any area for less than three years.
