Join Nick Lightfoot for all the action from the 2026 Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards sponsored by Godolphin.

This special episode of The BHA Podcast features live reaction straight from The Pavillion at Ascot Racecourse, where the star-studded ceremony took place on Monday 23 February.

We catch up with BHA Chief Executive Brant Dunshea, Chair of the Judging Panel Nick Luck, host Ed Chamberlin and Raceday TV’s Frankie Foster before speaking to the winners on the night. There’s even a guest appearance by Welsh boxing legend Joe Calzaghe.

Congratulations to Freddie Wilks, Louisa Allen, Kieran Kourdache, James Goddard, Derek Snaith and Hayley Clements.

Generously sponsored by Godolphin and organised by the BHA, in partnership with Racing TV, Racing Post and Ascot Racecourse Supports, the awards recognise and celebrate the people at the heart of British racing and breeding.
