The award includes a $5,000 grant to the non-profit organization associated with the horse, while the T.I.P. Young Rider of the Year Award recognizes juvenile riders who use a Thoroughbred in 4-H, Pony Club, or other activities with a total award of $5,000 that can be applied to the college of their choice or to their participation in an event that furthers their involvement with horses.

T.I.P. Reveals 2021 Winners

The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) has revealed the winners and other placings from its 2021 performance awards program and the T.I.P./United States Polo Association (USPA) annual polo awards.

The awards recognize Thoroughbreds that have accumulated the most points at all horse shows through a variety of disciplines and experience levels. In 2021, 726 Thoroughbreds from 42 states and four provinces competed in more than 15,000 classes, divisions, and events. Division awards were calculated in 14 discipline categories, 92 discipline divisions, and eight junior rider divisions.

In addition, Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA) sponsored awards for a green OTTB category, the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA) sponsored an award for horses adopted from TAA-accredited organizations, and the Retired Racehorse Project (RRP) provided awards for top-placing RRP Makeover alumni. The T.I.P./USPA Thoroughbred Polo Awards were also added in 2020 and awarded for the second year.

The complete list of winners and participants is available at tjctip.com/PerformanceAwardsWinners.

Performance awards will be available again in 2022 and will be based on show results from Dec. 1 of last year through Nov. 30, 2022.

482 Trainers Accepted to ’22 Tbred Makeover

The Retired Racehorse Project (RRP) has accepted 482 trainers, including both individuals and team members, to the 2022 class of the Thoroughbred Makeover and National Symposium, presented by Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA). The Makeover returns to its single-year format in 2022 after the postponement of the 2020 event led to a “double” Makeover in 2021, with two competition years running simultaneously. The 2022 Makeover will take place Oct. 12-15, 2022 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.

Open to professionals, juniors, amateurs, and teams, the Thoroughbred Makeover is a retraining competition for recently-retired ex-racehorses. Competition is available in 10 disciplines, with trainers choosing to compete in up to two: barrel racing, competitive trail, dressage, eventing, field hunter, polo, ranch work, show hunter, show jumper, and freestyle (a free-form discipline to demonstrate skills of the trainer's choice). All horses compete in preliminary rounds in their respective disciplines, with the top five in each discipline returning for the Finale Championship on Saturday to determine final placings. A panel, including all discipline judges, will determine the overall Thoroughbred Makeover Champion and a $10,000 cash prize; a popular vote by in-person and online spectators will determine the People's Choice Award who wins the right to direct a donation to an equine charity of their choosing. Accepted trainers can register their horses at www.TBMakeover.org. Registrations, which closes July 29, will appear on the entry list at www.tbmakeover.org/entries-2022. A total of 505 horses have already been registered.

Individuals who missed the initial round of applications are welcome to apply to the waitlist and can do so at www.TBMakeover.org/trainer-portal.

New for 2022, the Makeover will also host The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) Western Championships and Central Region Dressage Championships. After a successful implementation of the inaugural T.I.P. Barrel Racing Championships in 2021, the RRP and T.I.P. are adding more opportunities for Thoroughbreds and Thoroughbred enthusiasts.
