Godolphin Stable and Stud Staff Awards - 27 February 2012

 

The eighth running of the Godolphin Stud and Stable Staff Awards produced a cast of inspirational characters whose contribution to the racing and breeding industry received fitting recognition at the Awards lunch held in London. Stud category finalists were Frances Eilbeck (Minster Stud), Gordon Laing (Fittocks Stud) and Graham Nicklin (Glebe Stud) (pictured left) and it was the latter who received the award of £5,000 and a trophy to acknowledge his achievement. Graham, a former recipient of a TBA bi-monthly Stud Staff Award, has been at Glebe Stud for 12 years, and is highly rated by employer Julia Scott as playing a vital role in the success of the stud. The Awards come at a busy time of year for studs and all the finalists had done well to escape to London between the foalings and coverings they are responsible for. It was good to hear that they had enjoyed their experience in London, and appreciation must go to Godolphin for their sponsorship of the event which has been extended for a further three years. Clifford Baker beat off some stiff competition in the High Achiever Category before receiving the Employee of the Year award from Paul Hanagan, but it remains to be said that all of the nominees more than deserved the accolades they received on the day.
