The nominees for the 2025 HRI Awards have been announced, with 44 nominees in seven of the 10 categories, recognising a diverse cast of excellence in Irish racing over the past year.
The winners of the awards in these categories will be decided by a ballot of the HRI Awards committee, made up of members of the various sections of the Irish racing media and announced at the HRI Awards ceremony in Dublin on December 8.
Racegoers and racing fans will be asked to help select the winners of the Racecourse of the Year Award and the Ride of the Year Award, and the nominees for these categories will be announced in the coming weeks.
