The Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association announced Monday that the 37th annual TOBA National Awards Dinner will be held on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2022 at Keeneland in Lexington, Ky.
“Keeneland is honored to host the TOBA National Awards Dinner two days before the start of our world-famous September Yearling Sale,” Keeneland President and CEO Shannon Arvin said. “Keeneland and TOBA not only share a mission to advance Thoroughbred racing but also have a noteworthy historical connection. TOBA's origins lie in part in the Thoroughbred Horse Association, co-founded in 1916 by Hal Price Headley two decades before he became the driving force in the creation of Keeneland.”
The National Awards Dinner honors owners and breeders from 21 states and Canada. Also recognized are the National Owner of the Year and National Owner Finalists, National Breeder of the Year, National Breeder of the Year Finalists, Small Breeder of the Year, Broodmare of the Year, Cot Campbell Racing Partnership of the Year, TOBA Industry Service Award, Rood & Riddle Sport Horse of the Year, National HBPA Claiming Crown Horse of the Year and recipient of the Robert N. Clay Award.
“We are thrilled to be able to celebrate the achievements of racing's breeders and owners at Keeneland, which is one of our sport's most iconic venues,” said Dan Metzger, president of TOBA. “We are grateful for Keeneland's support in hosting the TOBA National Awards Dinner and we look forward to recognizing the outstanding individuals and horses of 2021 on the eve of the world's leading yearling sale.”
