 The permanent Sovereign Award trophy |
In an effort to promote equal opportunity in determining the winners of the 17 race award categories, the voting closed on January 23, 2018, 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 2017 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 March 1st.
Below are all the finalists in all the categories. There are three finalists in each category, except where there was a tie. The three finalists for Horse of the Year honours will be announced on the evening of the awards ceremony.
