Description:
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 2021 performance awards program and the T.I.P./USPA annual polo awards.
The performance awards recognize Thoroughbreds that have accumulated the most points at all horse shows and cover a wide 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 as well as 92 discipline divisions and eight junior rider divisions. Category and division awards included the Green OTTB category for Thoroughbreds that last raced in 2019, 2020, or 2021, with generous sponsorship for these awards provided by Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA). Winners will receive ribbons, prize money, and a variety of prizes, including coolers, halters, bags, keychains, and apparel. The complete list of winners and participants is available at tjctip.com/PerformanceAwardsWinners.
In addition to the category and division awards, 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.
