The Queensland Off-The-Track (QOTT) Leaderboard has been established to highlight Standardbred and Thoroughbred ex racehorses excelling in their new careers.

From much loved paddock companions to the ideal equestrian athletes, there is no limit to their ability and what they can achieve in their lives off the track.

In 2024, the QOTT Leaderboards will recognise and award both OTT Standardbred and Thoroughbred horses separately that have accumulated the highest points in each discipline at events from 1 November 2023 to 31 October 2024. 

To be eligible, OTT horses must be Base or Life Registered with Equestrian Queensland (as per the EA National Rules of each discipline / level of competition).

Thanks to Queensland Off-The-Track and Racing Queensland, each champion will be awarded at the 2024 EQ Annual Awards on Saturday 23 November at Victoria Park.
