    “There should be two categories of awards this year:

    A few nominations from me are below. Have not nominated a Poster of the Year as the field is too strong to pick just one.

    TRF Thread of the Year: Authoritarian Dictator. I feel a bit bad for not nominating a horseracing thread such as the excellent ones by Bachelors Hall and Betlarge, but this thread evolved into something that had very funny contributions from lots of different people, not least the hilarious race commentary from Ian Davies. The forum at its best.

    Flat Horse of the Year: St Mark’s Basilica
    Jumps Horse of the Year: Frodon
    Jumps Trainer of the Year: Henry de Bromhead
    Jumps Jockey of the Year: Rachael Blackmore
    Racecourse of the Year: Aintree
    Journalist of the Year: David Walsh
    Broadcaster of the Year: Ed Chamberlin
    Hero of the Year: Bryony Frost
    Villain of the Year: Stephen Mahon (runners up Robbie Dunne and the PJA)

    Added nominations in a few more categories to my previous post.

    I’d like to see more of a balance between equine and human categories.

    Thanks to the admins/moderators for all your efforts in keeping the forum running :-)

    I see that my post was quickly removed from here, hmmm. Nothing too bad about it and yet posts that have called me a racist, and another that told me to Fu** off on the main forums recently were allowed to stay.

    Poor!

    I’d also like to point out – while I’ve still got a voice on here – that I’ve noticed some brand-new names logged in for the last few nights and anyone who can log in will be able to vote. I should hope that they wouldn’t be allowed a vote, though, as that would be farcical in some categories such as Poster of the Year.

    :bye:
