Today marks the final week to nominate stud and stable staff for the 2017 UK Godolphin Stud and Stable Staff Awards.

The nomination period closes Wednesday, 16 November for the 13th running of the annual awards that recognise and reward the outstanding skills, commitment and contribution of racing’s 6,000 stud and stable staff.

Nominations can be made by anyone within the industry, so trainers, owners, managers and colleagues are all encouraged to nominate during the final days.

Sponsored by Godolphin and run by the British Horseracing Authority in association with the Racing Post, the awards offer more than £120,000 in prize money, with up to £40,000 available to a single yard or stud.

The 2017 award winners will be selected from a shortlist who will be interviewed by a panel of judges, overseen by Brough Scott.

The winners will then be announced during a ceremony to be hosted by the newly-appointed face of ITV, Ed Chamberlin on 20 February 2017 at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel in Knightsbridge, London.

The awards are an important event in the racing calendar and are a good example of the racing community coming together to acknowledge the work that goes on behind the scenes.

Nick Rust, Chief Executive of the BHA, said:

“With just one week left to nominate, I’d like to remind and encourage owners, trainers, colleagues and managers to show your appreciation to the workforce racing couldn’t be without. These awards are so important in giving employers and the industry the opportunity to recognise and reward the outstanding work stud and stable staff do all day, every day.”
