Marylander Jenna Elliott wins Eclipse Awards sweepstakes
The National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) today announced that Jenna Elliott, a 31-year-old horsewoman from Monkton, Md., and the groom of 2025 Steeplechase Horse Eclipse Award finalist Snap Decision, has won the Resolute Racing Eclipse Awards Sweepstakes. Elliott’s name was randomly selected from 340 entries.
Elliott, who works for Snap Decision’s trainer Jack Fisher, and a guest will be guests of the NTRA and Resolute Racing at the 54th Resolute Racing Eclipse Awards, presented by John Deere, Keeneland and The Jockey Club, on January 23 at The Breakers Palm Beach, Fla. The pair also will be guests of Resolute at the Pegasus World Cup on January 25 at Gulfstream Park Racing and Casino.
“It was such a surreal feeling to look down and see a missed call from the NTRA knowing today was the day for the drawing,” said Elliott, a groom for Fisher for the past five years. “Working with these racehorses every day and being able to witness them crowned for their achievements really pulls together everything we as horsemen and women strive for. This is an incredible opportunity. I’m very thankful for Resolute Racing and the NTRA for this weekend of a lifetime.”
As part of the promotion, Resolute Racing and the NTRA encouraged fans to enter either themselves or someone they feel would enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime weekend experience. Elliott saw the promotion on Facebook and wrote: “After years of waiting, this is finally the year where Snap Decision should get his crown… Once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to attend and witness in person. As his groom of four years, I would love to attend.”
