THE Highveld racing season was concluded at the end of April and the best performers will be honoured at a gala dinner on Saturday 20 May.
A panel of judges, comprising Nicci Garner, Jack Milner, Lennon Maharaj, Germaine Maharaj, Shaheen Shaw, Patrick Davis and Darryl Maree, was convened to assess the star performances of the season. Vee Moodley was the non-voting chairperson of the panel.
While many of the awards will be voted on by the panel, the winners of the champion breeder, apprentice, jockey and trainer awards were calculated on a point system according the Graded races won. The champion owner will be decided on stakes earned.
