Sydney’s ‘Strapper of the Year’ - Nominations Close TODAY

Nominations are now being called for Sydney’s ‘Strapper of the Year’ award for the 2021/22 season.

Now in its 13th year, this award endeavours to recognise the behind-the-scenes efforts by those stablehands that tend to go beyond the call of duty.

The award is sponsored by Racing NSW and co-ordinated by Australian Racing Christian Chaplaincy.

The award is peer-nominated with stablehands at Metropolitan race meetings being invited to nominate who they think is deserving of the award.

A selection panel of racing officials will subsequently choose the winner from a short-list of finalists.

The award will be presented at the NSW Racehorse Owners Association’s prestigious ‘Racing's Night of Champions’ on 25th August 2022.

Nominations can be SUBMITTED ONLINE CLICK HERE or by downloading the following form - Strapper Of The Year Nomination Form

Nominees can be from any stable in NSW/ACT, but they must have strapped horses at Metropolitan meetings during the 2021/22 season.

For any enquiries contact Colin Watts at contact@arcc.org.au or visit arcc.org.au

Nominations close Wednesday, 22nd June 2022.
