TOC would like to recognize and celebrate the growing population of co-ownerships and partnership entities within the horse racing community. We are looking for nominations that provide a compelling story that simply, but significantly, reflect the joy of the sport.

This award is not based on statistics and is open to co-ownerships and partnerships of all sizes from two and beyond. Partnerships of any size can be nominated through self-nomination or by another TOC owner.

Winner(s) will be recognized at our 2025 annual meeting!

Deadline to nominate is June 1, 2025

Do you know someone who became a new owner in 2025? It’s time to recognize their hard work and accomplishments! Whether you’re nominating yourself or someone else, this is your chance to shine a light on a deserving rookie.

Nominees will be evaluated based on their achievements and the impact they’ve made throughout the year. We’ll be tracking progress, but we need YOUR input! Share the story of their journey, the milestones they’ve reached, and the difference they’ve made.

Let’s celebrate those who have truly gone above and beyond. This is your chance to recognize the rookies who are making waves and leaving a mark!

Winner(s) will be celebrated at TOC’s 2026 Annual Meeting!
