Every year Harness Breeders Victoria recognises excellence in the Standardbred racehorse breeding industry through the Victorian Breeders Awards.

About the Awards

Through our awards program, we acknowledge and encourage contributions and achievements by our members and their Vicbred horses. Click through below to see the results from any given season:

VICTORIAN BREEDER AWARDS HONOUR ROLL

Eligibility criteria apply to all awards (outlined in the season links above), with horses required to be Vicbred eligible and bred by full HBV members who were financial for all or part of the relevant racing season.

To put yourself and your Vicbred horse/s in contention for Time Excellence Recognition, Group 1 Trophy, Championship Trophy and Gold Trophies, make sure your membership is current - join or renew today here.

IAN DAFF MEMORIAL AWARD HONOUR ROLL

Since 2014, the Ian Daff Memorial Award has recognised significant and tenured contribution and service to the broader Victorian Breeding Industry. Prior to that it was to recognise excellence only within the season.
