She won Horse of the Year last night at the NZTR 2025-26 Horse of the Year Awards.

Michael GuerinHOST
Very fittingly, NZTR has approved Bev's name still being in the training of Alabama last week.
Michael GuerinHOST
We saw that with Bev Kelso, and our thoughts are with Ken, her husband.
Michael GuerinHOST
Very fittingly, NZTR has approved Bev's name still being in the training of Alabama last for this week.
Michael GuerinHOST
Is there any other way you can memorialise her on the day? I know it's a race day and we have to get on with the business.
Michael GuerinHOST
Everybody realises that.
Michael GuerinGUEST

Michael GuerinGUEST
