Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ & Owners’ Association
The FTBOA promotes Florida Thoroughbred breeding and racing through Florida-bred breeder and stallion awards, Florida-bred racing incentives and the Florida Sire Stakes race series, the annual highlight of the Floridabred racing calendar. The FTBOA incentive programs collectively distribute more than $15 million each year, increasing up to $20 million with the inclusion of Florida-bred Owner Awards (FOA) that are managed by the respective Florida racetracks and Thoroughbred horsemens’ associations. The combined Florida breeder, stallion and open race owner awards outpaced all other states’ incentive programs outside of Kentucky in 2024.
The FTBOA actively represents the Thoroughbred industry in community and legislative affairs, especially at the state and national governments. The FTBOA’s significant legislative accomplishments include the repeated beat-back of racetrack gaming decoupling legislation, and the annual $33.5 million state allocations enhancing Florida breeding and racing incentives.
The FTBOA, based in Ocala, Fla. holds trademark rights for the Horse Capital of the World® and Ocala, Marion County, Horse Capital of the World®, certifying that the Ocala and Florida equine economies are global leaders in economic value, employment and production. FTBOA maintains up-to-date economic impact estimates for the Florida equine and Florida Thoroughbred economies.
Florida Equine Communications, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the FTBOA, produces the award-winning monthly magazine The Florida Horse; the daily Thoroughbred news digest Wire to Wire; and The Florida Horse Podcast. FEC handles the media relations, social media and internet marketing for the Association. FEC media resides online at FTBOA.com alongside extensive FTBOA services such as real-time Florida-bred race entries and results, the Florida-bred registry search, Florida racing and breeding incentives administration and FTBOA membership services.
Florida Thoroughbred Charities is the charitable arm of the Florida Thoroughbred industry. Since 1990, FTC has strengthened and supported the community by raising more than $4 million for charitable organizations within the Thoroughbred industry, the city of Ocala, Marion County and the state of Florida.
FTC supports student scholarships and Thoroughbred retirement by encouraging fundraising, assisting non-profits and providing resources.

A 2021 dark bay filly by Mo Town out of Salty Soul, by Itsmyluckyday, Mystic Lake won the Grade 2 Charles Town Oaks, Grade 3 Miss Preakness, Sugar Swirl, Stonehedge Farm South Sophomore Fillies, and Gasparilla Stakes. Her campaign led her to being named 3-year-old champion filly and champion female sprinter of 2024.
She was campaigned by C2 Racing Stable LLC & Stefania Farms LLC and trained by Saffie A. Joseph Jr.
Clint and Mark Cornett make up C2 Racing Stable and Thomas F. Carney Jr., Stefanie and Edwin Wilson are with Stefania Farms ownership. The Needles Award was established by the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association to honor small Thoroughbred operations that have made outstanding contributions to the Florida Thoroughbred industry.
This award is named in honor of Needles, the first Florida-bred to win the Kentucky Derby in 1956. He was the first Florida-bred to win the Belmont Stakes and the first Florida-bred to be a national champion at age two in 1955.
This is Costanzo’s first Needles Award.

BROODMARE OF THE YEAR
Points of Grace
Points of Grace, dam of Grade 1 winning Arthur’s Ride, is the 2024 Florida Broodmare of the Year as selected the FTBOA board of directors.
The Whitney (G1) winner, Arthur’s Ride by Tapit, is the second Grade 1 offspring out of Points of Grace. Her Exchange Rate daughter Victory to Victory won the 2016 Grade 1 Natalma Stakes enroute to champion 2-year-old filly honors in Canada that year.
The mare produced Alittleloveandluck by Arrogate, winner of the 2022 Ginger Brew Stakes at Gulfstream. Points of Grace’s filly Genetics, a full-sister to Arthur’s Ride, brought $525,000 from Glassman Racing, (owner of Arthur’s Ride), at the 2022 Keeneland September sale. She produced stakes-placed Double Blessed, a daughter of Treasure Beach bred by Helen and Joe Barbazon.
The 2005 chestnut mare was born in Kentucky to breeder Gary Falter, Cindy Falter and The Thoroughbred Corp and is owned by Joseph and Helen Barbazon.
By Point Given, Points of Grace is out of the English-raced mare Fateful, also dam of Fatefully, a dual black-type winner in England, and herself dam of the Grade 1 Nassau Stakes-winner Favourable Terms, and third dam of three stakes winners including Berneuil, twice successful in group sprints in France.
Points of Grace took the Grade 2 Dance Smartly Stakes on turf and River Memories Stakes, which earned her champion turf mare in Canada in 2009 under the Live Oak Plantation silks.
Points of Grace has had six winners from seven foals. Her stakes winners account for three of Point Given’s 29 black-type winners as a broodmare sire. The mare was bred to Verifying, standing at Pleasant Acres Stallions this year.
