The Jockey Club of Canada has announced the finalists for the 2016 Sovereign Awards, Canadian thoroughbred racing's year end championships. Winners will be announced at the 42nd Annual Sovereign Awards ceremonies on Thursday, April 13 at Palais Royale located in Toronto, Ontario. The elegant, cocktail-attire celebration will begin at 6pm with a champagne reception, followed by a buffet-style gourmet dinner at 7pm. Tickets are $250 each plus applicable taxes (tables of 10 are $2400) and must be reserved in advance by contacting The Jockey Club of Canada at 416-675-7756 or email jockeyclub@bellnet.ca
The Jockey Club of Canada was founded in 1973 by E.P.Taylor to serve as an international representative of Canada's Thoroughbred sport and to promote improvements to Thoroughbred horse racing and breeding both in Canada and internationally. To that end the Jockey Club of Canada organizes and hosts the annual Sovereign Awards to honour outstanding achievements in all areas of Thoroughbred sport - from media coverage to Horse of the Year.
In an effort to promote equal opportunity in determining the winners of the 17 race award categories, the voting closed on January 23, 2016, allowing for statistics for the entire year to be considered. The finalists and eventual winner are determined using a computerized points system based on each voter’s first, second and third choice in each category. The judging for the 2016 media categories will be performed by the Journalism Professors at Humber College, School of Media Studies & Information Technology in Toronto, Ontario, and the finalists will be announced by February 28.
Below are all the finalists in all the categories. The three finalists for Horse of the Year honours will be announced on the evening of the awards ceremony.
