Saluting excellence and the embedded spirit of horseracing’s finest equine and human athletes.
The Equus Awards, historically held in August, post the KZN racing season, is an evening of glitz and glamour celebrating the industry champions and stakeholders.
The categories include equine awards, breeders’ awards, and human awards.
The equine categories’ winners are decided by a panel of judges. The esteemed panel is equipped with points tables calculated on the season’s results. The panel uses the tables as a guide in their decision-making. The judges’ panel comprises of seasoned campaigners in the South African horseracing industry.
The human awards’ winners are largely determined by official statistics, according to the NHRA.
The three categories of Equus Media Awards are written material (print and electronic), broadcasting (television and internet), and still photography.
The Equus Awards organizing committee includes representatives of The Thoroughbred Breeders Association, Cape Racing, Gold Circle, and 4Racing.
