TBA National Hunt Breeders' Awards Evening Announced

The annual TBA National Hunt Breeders’ Awards, sponsored by Goffs, will take place on Monday 19 May 2025 at the Hilton Garden Inn, Doncaster, during the Goffs Doncaster Spring Sale and will be hosted by Nick Luck.

The dedicated evening which acknowledges and celebrates the outstanding achievements of British-based breeders and British-bred horses across the 2024/2025 National Hunt season will see breeders, owners, trainers and their teams come together to celebrate those key moments.

The awards will be presented over the course of the evening, including the Queen Mother’s Silver Salver, which is awarded by the TBA National Hunt Committee to an individual who in their eyes has made an outstanding contribution to British National Hunt racing and breeding and was won last year by a very surprised host, leading broadcaster, Nick Luck.

Simon Cox, Chairman of the National Hunt committee and TBA trustee said: “We are incredibly grateful to Goffs for their ongoing support of this event since its inception eleven years ago, as well as all the individual award sponsors.

“We are looking forward to celebrating in May and when you look at the list of previous winners, the quality of horses that British breeders have and continue to produce and who perform at the highest possible, this event serves as a fitting occasion to acknowledge these successes in front of a very passionate and dedicated community.

“I would encourage not only breeders, but owners, trainers, agents and their teams who are attending the Goffs Spring Store Sale to make sure that they add the Awards Evening into their diary and secure their tickets.”

Tim Kent, Managing Director for Goffs UK commented: “Goffs are proud to support the TBA’s NH Breeders’ Awards as title sponsor. Every year, we hear some incredible stories from this passionate and dedicated part of the sector and this awards ceremony is about them and their achievements.”

Attendees are welcomed by a champagne reception, followed by a two-course dinner before the awards ceremony. Tickets are available to purchase for just £75 and can be secured here.
