Tiz Molly Partners, who campaign The Chosen Vron, has been selected by Thoroughbred Owners of California (TOC) as the recipient of the inaugural Horseracing Partnership Award, according to a press release from the TOC Monday morning.

Nominated by one of the four partners, Richard Thornburgh, the partnership was chosen by TOC's Owner Relations Committee from a field of 14 nominees. Its other partners are Robert Fetkin, John Sondereker, and Eric Kruljac, who also trains for the partnership.

The new annual award recognizes and celebrates the growing population of co-ownerships and partnership entities within the horse racing community. Nominees were asked to provide a compelling story that simply but significantly reflects the joy of the sport. The award was open to co-ownerships and partnerships of all sizes from two and up. Nominations closed June 1.

The partnership began with the purchase of retired racehorse Tiz Molly as a broodmare prospect. Tiz Molly went on to produce Tizhotndusty, a winner of over $250,000, and CTBA Cal-Bred Horse of the Year, The Chosen Vron, winner of 15 stakes races and more than $1.4 million.

“We are just middle-class people enjoying an experience that few are fortunate enough to participate in,” said Thornburgh. “Owning part of a miraculous racehorse, The Chosen Vron, makes every day a wonderful day.”

Tiz Molly Partners will be recognized with a special presentation of a trophy award at TOC's Southern California Annual Meeting on Saturday, August 10, at Del Mar.
