    Great choices Nathan :good: …Cody Dorman definitely my favourite for Hero of the Year. :heart:

    In contrast I will be voting
    Jonny Clayton as villain of the Year for lashing out and punching a filly in the jaw causing her serious injury. :negative:

    For thread of the year, I would like to nominate Nathan’s thread Make Forum Memes Just for Fun, which has provided immense entertainment since it began in July.

    Poster of the year has many highly deserving candidates including those mentioned already. My nomination is apracing whose knowledge and insight never cease to amaze. I suspect he has forgotten more about racing than most people will ever know.

    I totally agree with the previous nominations for Cody Dorman and Johnny Clayton, so will not suggest alternatives for those categories. Will have a further think on the others.

    I’d have thought Villain of the year would be a walkover, but TC might disagree:
