2022 IAHP Best Presented Award Up for Grabs

10 February 2022

The winner of each IAHP Best Presented title will receive a desirable gift package.

NZB Standardbred’s 2022 National Yearling Sale consignors will ensure their stock is in top condition to give them the best chance at securing the sought-after International Animal Health Products (IAHP) Best Presented Yearling Award. 

In partnership with International Animal Health Products, NZB Standardbred has awarded the title to yearlings based in Auckland and Christchurch since the inauguration of its first-ever standardbred yearling sale in 2019.

With the final days of preparation underway, consignors at the Auckland and Christchurch selling sessions can look forward to another opportunity for their chance to claim the title.

Due to New Zealand moving to the Red Alert Level of the COVID-19 Traffic Light System, NZB Standardbred has made the decision to cancel this year’s Parade of Trotters and Pacers on Saturday 12 February, as well as the Parades of Trotters and Pacers held on each day of selling at the Christchurch session from Monday 14 to Wednesday 16 February.

Following last year’s format, three titles will be awarded to the Best Presented yearlings entered in the Auckland Sale of Trotters and Pacers on 13 February, as well as the Christchurch Sale of Trotters on 14 February, and the Christchurch Sale of Pacers on 15 and 16 February.

The winner of each title will receive a desirable gift package, sponsored by IAHP and NZB Standardbred consisting of:

  • One free entry to the 2023 National Standardbred Yearling Sale in either Auckland or Christchurch
  • One IAHP gift pack
  • A Best Presented garland
  • Attributing content of the award winner posted on the NZB Standardbred and IAHP social media channels

This year, the awards will be judged by IAHP's New Zealand Representative Kerrin Beatson.
