In a unique, well-conceived, and well-executed plan, the HRI Awards 2020 were announced via an hour-long programme Tuesday morning on Racing TV, on which Al Boum Photo received the flagship Horse of the Year Award, and the recently retired John Oxx was recognised for his contribution to the industry.
Al Boum Photo earned his award for successfully defending his Cheltenham Gold Cup crown in March. He gave Willie Mullins his first success in the race when winning in 2019 and, in a race run in a completely different manner, had the class to find a way to hold onto that special crown.
