This season’s KZN Racing awards, which will take place on August 24, will be competed for by horses who were based in KZN during the season.
However, the exception is the Horse Of The Year award, which is open to all horses who raced in KZN.
The likes of the Dean Kannemeyer-trained It’s My Turn and the Glen Kotzen-trained Temple Grafin will qualify as their only runs during the season were in KZN.
However, others like Do It Again, Undercover Agent, Captain America, Surcharge, Oh Susanna, Redberry Lane, Mighty High, Celtic Sea, Van Halen, Return Flight, Will Pays, Chimichuri Run etc will only qualify for the Horse Of The Year award as they all did most of their racing in other provinces.
A ride of the season will also be one of the awards and can be voted for by the general public.
The five rides chosen for voting were Anton Marcus aboard Fiorella in the Grade 2 Daisy Fillies Guineas, Lyle Hewitson aboard Redberry Lane in the Grade 1 Jonsson Workwear Garden Province Stakes, Mark Khan aboard Mighty High in the Grade 1 Allan Robertson, Craig Zackey aboard Will Pays in the Grade 1 Mercury Sprint and Corne Orffer aboard Captain America in the Grade 1 Champions Cup.
The votes can be cast on Gold Circle’s Facebook and Instagram pages.
