SPECIALIST WRITER of the Year
The Specialist Writer award is the second of two new categories we introduced in 2019. No sport lends itself better to forensic analysis than horseracing and specialists, of whom we have many within the HWPA, were overlooked for far too long when it came to being recognised at these awards.
“Insightful, challenging articles that say things that need to be said about our sport, a must read”
“Just brilliant, really enjoyable writing that paints vivid pictures with words, a lost skill”
KEVIN BLAKE
IAN CARNABY
“Well-explained, entertaining pieces, a great addition to the Racing Post team”
“Authoritative, readable articles by someone with a most intimate knowledge of their subject”
KEITH MELROSE

There was once again a very gratifying combination of depth and range to the 2021 entry for this category, and our judges had their work cut out sifting through the impressive output of some of the best brains in the sport in order to narrow it down to these four finalists.
