British-bred successes from the 2019-2020 National Hunt racing season will be celebrated online as a virtual awards ceremony this year at the Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association's NH Breeders’ Awards Evening

The annual event moves to an online platform following cancellation of the dinner in May due to Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.

Breeders, owners, trainers and enthusiasts are invited to join host Nick Luck at 7pm on Wednesday, August 26 as he announces the winners and conducts live interviews during the free to view
ceremony.

Registration is required and can be made via a link and details of how to sign into the event on the date will be emailed to attendees upon confirmation of registration. In total, 14 prizes will be presented at the sixth running of the awards.
