State-bred or residing performance awards were sponsored by the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society – British Columbia Division, British Columbia Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association, the Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association of British Columbia, 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.
