Online voting is now open at the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) website, www.ntra.com, for the 15th annual NTRA Moment of the Year. Voters can choose from 12 of the most indelible memories witnessed in 2013. The winning moment will be recognized on January 18, 2014, during the Eclipse Awards ceremony at Gulfstream Park Racing & Casino in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

Those that vote for the eventual winner automatically will be entered in a random drawing to win a $100 gift certificate for Breeders’ Cup merchandise.
