Thoroughbred Incentive Program Announces 2019 Performance Awards Winners

April 16, 2020

The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.), which encourages the retraining of Thoroughbreds into other disciplines upon completion of careers in racing or breeding, today announced the winners and other placings from its 2019 performance awards program. The complete list of winners and participants is available at tjctip.com/PerformanceAwardsWinners.

The performance awards recognize Thoroughbreds accumulating the most points at all horse shows in each of the T.I.P. award categories and divisions throughout the year.

“We received applications representing 630 Thoroughbreds competing in more than 12,500 classes and divisions during the 2019 award year,” said Kristin Werner, senior counsel for The Jockey Club and the administrator of T.I.P. ”Winners will receive ribbons, prize money, and a variety of prizes, including custom Horseware coolers, halters, keychains, and apparel.”

Thoroughbred Charities of America sponsored the Green OTTB category for Thoroughbreds that last raced in 2017, 2018 or 2019. State-bred or residing performance awards were sponsored by the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society – Alberta Division, Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society – British Columbia Division, British Columbia Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association, the Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association of British Columbia, the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association, the North Carolina Thoroughbred Association, and the Washington Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Association. In addition, the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) sponsored a performance award for horses adopted from TAA-accredited organizations, and the Retired Racehorse Project (RRP) provided awards for top-placing RRP Makeover Alumni in the Green OTTB categories.

Over the next few weeks, the 2019 performance award winners’ photos will be posted on the T.I.P. Facebook page at facebook.com/tjctip.

Performance awards will be available once again in 2020 and will be based on results in shows from December 1, 2019, through November 30, 2020. The deadline for submissions is December 20, 2020. Updated forms are available at tjctip.com/About/TBPAF.

In response to the ongoing cancellations of horse shows due to COVID-19, stand-alone divisions have been added for online dressage shows and online horses shows (non-dressage) for 2020. More information is available at tjctip.com/About/TBPAFI

Created and announced in October 2011, T.I.P. recognizes and rewards the versatility of the Thoroughbred through sponsorship of Thoroughbred classes and high point awards at sanctioned horse shows, performance awards, a recreational riding program, Championship horse shows and non-competition awards. Additional information about T.I.P. is available at tjctip.com/About/TBPAFI and on the T.I.P. Facebook page at facebook.com/tjctip.
