The BHA show appreciation to the people who work hard behind the scenes with the generous support of Godolphin for the annual Godolphin Stud and Stable Staff Awards, see more on their website.

Toby Balding was a great supporter of anyone looking to make their way in horseracing. The annual award named after him offers an exciting opportunity for ambitious employees in British racing yards to widen their knowledge and train to acquire new skills. We would encourage all trainers to embrace this award by supporting those loyal members of their staff to apply and help them advance to a more senior role.

This scholarship originated with funds donated in reaction to the murder of British trainer Alex Scott. A full explanation and the steps to apply can be found here.
