Year Award. Since its inception years ago, the original Speedhorse Broodmare of the Year Award was based on achievement and through their achievement we have honored many of our industry’s great broodmares. The naming of the 2022 Speedhorse Broodmare of the Year will follow that long standing tradition.
The 2022 Speedhorse Broodmare of the Year award is dedicated to highlighting the contribution of the mare to the racehorse industry by bringing together the top mares from four AQHA racing categories:
to be named the Speedhorse Broodmare of
the Year. They were awarded points based on their placing in the respective categories they qualified for: 5 points for number one in a category down to 1 point for fifth place. The dams of Champions are awarded 5 points
for World Champion, 4 for overall divisional Champions and 3 for age division Champions. A horse receiving both an overall divisional championship and an age division championship will receive the higher award of 4 points. In
case of a tie, the dam with the most current year earnings will be determined the winner.
Only Quarter Horse foals are considered and listed for each mare. Under each mare’s name is a summary of her 2022 produce record. The statistics include: Starters, Winners, Stakes Winners, Number of Stakes
This is followed by the categories by which the mare made the list of nominees. Her leading 2022 starter(s) follows, then any additional 2022 starters.
A big part of the Speedhorse Broodmare of the Year Award is to identify the top mares in each category and that is the purpose
of this summary. We hope that you enjoy reading about some of the industry’s best broodmares of 2022.
