The winning member of racing staff will be selected by a public vote which is open until noon Thursday, Oct. 13. All four finalists will attend QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot Racecourse with friends and family and be part of a presentation in the paddock at 12:45 p.m. The winner will receive £34,000 to be shared with all members of racing staff in their yard.
