In an effort to promote equal opportunity in determining the winners for 2014
in the 17-race award categories, the voting began January 2, allowing for
statistics for the entire 2014 year to be considered. To be eligible to receive
a Sovereign Award in each divisional category a horse must have raced in Canada
at least three times for all horses three years-old and up and two times for all
two-year-olds.
For the Owner, Trainer, Breeder, Jockey and Apprentice Jockey categories, a
minimum of 10 starts in Canada must be made. The Outstanding Broodmare Award is
a lifetime achievement award. The mare must have a Canadian-bred stakes horse
(by, definition, the horse must have come first, second or third in a stakes
race) in the current year and must have produced a different Canadian-bred
stakes horse in a previous year.
Once again the Jockey Club of Canada is announcing the top four finalists in
each category as determined by the online ballots of 40 knowledgeable voters
across Canada and in the United States.
