The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) Championships return Friday, October 8, after being canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Friday’s schedule will feature in-hand classes, which are being offered for the first time, including classes for horses with more than 50 race starts, more than $100,000 in race earnings, and those adopted from Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance-accredited organizations.

Friday will also see the distribution of six special awards to recognize some of the unique Thoroughbreds competing in the show. The championships are being held at Stable View in Aiken, South Carolina, and continue through Sunday, October 10. The program for the 2021 T.I.P. Championships can be found at tjctip.com/resources/2021_TIP_Champs_Program.pdf.

This year’s event has attracted nearly 200 Thoroughbreds that will be competing in classes covering seven disciplines. There are 26 divisions spanning hunters, jumpers, dressage, combined tests, Western dressage, English pleasure, and Western pleasure. Each division will be awarded $2,000 in prize money with awards up to 10th place.

“With horses entered from 23 states representing both coasts, we are excited by the reception to this year’s T.I.P. Championships, especially our new in-hand classes, and are looking forward to showing off the versatility of Thoroughbreds in a range of disciplines this weekend,” said Kristin Werner, senior counsel for The Jockey Club and administrator of T.I.P. “We would like to thank the team at Stable View for its support of T.I.P.”
