TBA Stud Employee Award Nominations Now Open

[Wandering Eyes]

Nominations for this year's TBA Stud Employee Award are now open. Sponsored by New England Stud, the annual award is presented at the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association Flat Breeders' Awards Evening, which will take place on Wednesday, July 8 at Chippenham Park.

The award winner will be selected from six shortlisted candidates and invited to attend the TBA Flat Breeders Awards Evening. They will also take home a £2,000 cash prize and a perpetual trophy in the form of a Charlie Langton bronze, while the remaining shortlisted nominees will receive £250 each in recognition of their achievement.

Last year, the award was presented to Zoe Isaacson of Barton Stud, who said, “Even to have been nominated was amazing, especially when I saw the list of nominees alongside me. To win was such a proud moment for me personally, but also a great reflection on the whole team I work with at Barton Stud.”

Nominations are open between March 6 and May 10 and studs are invited to nominate deserving employees from Flat and National Hunt stud farms. Nominations can be submitted by an employer, colleague or client, by visiting the TBA website and completing the online nomination form by the closing date of Sunday, May 10.

Alternatively, a voice note/text can be sent via WhatsApp to 01638 661321. This needs to include name and contact details of the nominator, the nominee's name and employer's name, as well as the reasons why they are being nominated for the award.

Caroline Turnbull, the TBA's industry education and retention manager, added, “The breeding industry relies on a highly skilled workforce, and this Award is designed to acknowledge and celebrate all those who work specifically across the breeding sector.

“We are incredibly grateful to Peter Stanley and New England Stud for their generous and ongoing support of the this award and we would encourage anyone running or working on a stud farm to put forward a deserving employee or colleague.”
