NOMINATIONS are now closed for the 20th Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards, which “celebrate and recognise the remarkable dedication and commitment of those working at the grassroots of horseracing. These hardworking employees provide the best possible care to our horses and people.”

Generous Godolphin sponsorship provides £128,500 in prize money for the six categories.

Results are in February next year and it got me wondering. It's lovely to Awards. However, isn't it time the horse sport industry stepped up to provide a similar tangible reward?
