I'm Nominating 'Free Holmes' . in the Huey category of 'Greatest NZ horseman Ever' . this bloke could head off Sir Mark Todd even🤔. *Won the NZ Cup as a jockey riding Manton. * Won the Great Northern Hurdles and the Great Northern Steeple riding 'Liberator' . * Won the biggest harness race going, NZ Trotting Cup 1919 + 2 Auckland Trotting Cups training and driving * Won driving in the Very First INTERDOMINION ever run , the Inaugural race between Nz and Oz in 1936. (well technically he placed 2nd in the race . His own NZ horse got scratched from the Grand Final. So FREE got the call up to drive EVICUS , a Tasmanian mare. She ran 2nd in all her heats. and also 2nd in the Grand Final to another fine Tasmanian in Logan Derby . But she was declared the WINNER of the Series on Points 20 -17 ahead of Logan Derby ( as she had started off a handicap) so took home the Gold trophy and spoils. as did Free ) Logan Derby declared the winner of the race itself many years later . going undefeated for his 4 races during the series. * Raced and bred many fine thoroughbreds and Standardbred across his years. * FREE Holmes himself a fine sire! 😁 Sired Maurice Holmes ( The Maestro ) who across 50 years became the greatest NZ harness driver ever. A lasting Legacy compliments from Free 😋. (descendant young Robbie Holmes still competes in the South Island these very days) * known as 'Old Free' by the gallops folk, and 'The Old Man of Trotting' by the Trots blokes . No One will EVER achieve What that bloke did in thoroughbreds and harness. Don't think he got an OBE for services to racing like his own son Maurice 'the Maestro' did . So Maybe a 'HUEY award' could be his ? . Free Holmes (1871-1967) NZ legend. -

Flavien Prat, the reigning Eclipse Award-winner as Outstanding Jockey, earned his first riding title at a New York Racing Association meet when posting 43 wins at the Belmont at the Big A spring/summer meet which ran from May 1 through July 6. Statistics for the Belmont at the Big A spring/summer meet include the five-day Belmont Stakes Racing Festival and four-day July 4th Racing Festival, both of which were held at Saratoga Race Course. Prat, a 32-year-old native of Melun, Siene-et-Marne, France, enjoyed a major milestone at the meet when he notched his 2,000th North American victory June 27 at the Big A, guiding Iron Max to the winner's circle in one of five wins on the card. He posted another five-win day on the July 5 card at Saratoga, highlighted by graded wins with Fionn in the GI Belmont Oaks Invitational and with Obliteration in the GIII Sanford Stakes. “The last few weeks, I've had good things happen and I try to take it all in,” said Prat. “My agent [Brad Pegram] and the support of trainers and owners and everybody that's part of the crew are important.” Of his first New York riding title, Prat said, “Obviously I'm very grateful and proud, and it's an achievement. There's a lot of people that supported me and I feel very grateful.” The meet's training title went to five-time Eclipse Award-winner Chad Brown for the ninth time in his career after a prosperous meet yielded 27 wins for the powerhouse stable. “I feel very fortunate that we have so many nice horses to work with,” Brown said. “My team does an unbelievable job, including with all of the logistics of this meet, shipping horses from all different divisions to run at NYRA. I'm always just so amazed with the day-to-day fluidity of it–they just make things happen. I'm amazed with their teamwork and talent. All of the credit goes to them.” Brown, who won Belmont spring/summer titles from 2016-22 and in 2024, was winning his 34th training title at a NYRA circuit track. With 13 wins, Seth Klarman's Klaravich Stables claimed its 30th owners' title at a NYRA meeting and it sixth at a Belmont spring/summer meet.

I'm not sure they'd count using @Huey criteria. They've won awards before and wasn't it last year that their employee Megan Winters won the ENTAIN Stablehand of the Year award? -
