Discover the winners of the 2017 Trophees du Personnel des Courses et de l’Elevage

There were close to a hundred nominations for the six categories of the 2017 Trophées du Personnel des Courses et de l’Élevage, organised by Godolphin and France Galop, and eighteen finalists were present on Saturday evening at Auteuil Racecourse for an emotional prize-giving ceremony.  

Supported by their families, employers and colleagues, the finalists will long remember the exceptional experience they shared.

Sixteen members of the eighteen-member strong judging panel, presided over by Jean-Bernard Roth (winner of the 2016 Employee of the Year Award) were on hand to announce the winners in each category, in front of an audience including Diana Cooper from Godolphin and Edouard de Rothschild, President of France Galop.

As the winners made their way up to the stage, the audience responded warmly and with heartfelt emotion to the winners’ personalities and stories, everyone humbled by the passion and dedication with which they carry out their work daily.
