Racing South Africa sponsors 2010 Equus Awards

The 2010 Equus Awards will, for the first time, be sponsored by Racing South Africa, the Company established to represent the major stakeholders of South African horseracing and breeding namely the Breeders, Operators and Owners.
The black tie affair honouring last season’s Champions takes place this Thursday, 12 August 2010 at the Centre Court, Emperor’s Palace in Johannesburg.
The format for the Equus Awards takes on a very different feel this year with the drama of the awards enhanced by being presented in a cinema environment to be followed by the Banquet. The Horse Of The Year award will be announced at the end of dinner by Racing South Africa Chairman, Mr Vidrik Thurling. Longstanding Chairman of the organizing committee, Mr Larry Wainstein, is confident guests will enjoy the changes and all is set for an evening of great celebration!
The voting panel consisted of Messrs Vee Moodley (Chairman), Patrick Davis, Graeme Hawkins, Robert Garner, Nico Kritsiotis, Jehan Malherbe, Sheldon Peters and Roger Smith.
