2025 Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards (TIEA) Ceremony

Red Mile Racetrack - Lexington, KY - Tuesday, October 21, 2025

The Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards, known as T·I·E·A or TI·EA (tee-a), is an awards program that recognizes and rewards the outstanding talent, diligence, and commitment of the farm and racing stable staff who are at the heart of our sport. TIEA strives to acknowledge those who may never have their name in the program or accept a trophy in the winners’ circle, those who will otherwise never receive recognition for their hard work and dedication to their job and our sport.

There are 7 award categories, with five finalists recognized in each of the categories and a total of $122,000 in prize money awarded. Learn more here!
