OwnerView today announced that it is accepting nominations for the 2025 New Owner of the Year Award, sponsored by 1/ST RACING, which honors a new Thoroughbred owner who has been successful in the sport and has had a positive impact on the industry.
Nominees for the New Owner of the Year Award must have made their first start as a Thoroughbred owner in the past four years (since 2022), had an ownership stake in a horse at the time it won a stakes race in the past 12 months, and had a verifiable owner license in 2025. Thoroughbred performance as well as a nominee’s promotion of the sport will be considered.
Anyone, including current owners, can nominate an owner who meets the criteria for the award. A selection committee will choose the winner.
To submit a nomination, please contact Gary Falter for a nomination form at 859.224.2803 or gfalter@jockeyclub.com. The deadline to receive nominations is Nov. 2.
The New Owner of the Year Award has been previously presented to John Stewart and Jayson Werth (co-winners), Jim and Dana Bernhard, Alexander Bregman, Pat Kearney and Richard Dawson (co-winners), Boat Racing, MyRacehorse, Larry Best, Churchill Downs Racing Club, Charles and Susan Chu, LNJ Foxwoods, and Sol Kumin.
