The most popular three Nominees from each category will go forward to the Final with the live reveal of each Heart Award winner announced at the RoR End of Season Party at Doncaster Racecourse on 17th November.

Let us bring you all together whether you’re an RoR owner, rider or supporter. Enjoy a celebration of everything we love about former racehorses, and raise a glass to all of the memories made over the past year. The night will include a cocktail reception, followed by a three-course gala dinner and an Awards Ceremony, then a DJ to get the party started!

RoR will be pulling out all the stops to make the 2018 RoR End of Season Party a night to remember, with a new ceremony for the RoR Grassroots Awards and Heart Awards, a star guest, and a chance to see your own horse on the big screen.
