WALKING away with top honours at the 2018/19 Equus Awards was Horse of the Year, Do It Again.
Claiming a handful of awards for trainer Justin Snaith, Do it Again made a clean sweep at the annual Equus Awards evening which was held on August 13 at Emperors Palace.
Do It Again took home Champion Miler, Middle Distance Horse, Older Male, and the ultimate prize of Horse of the Year.
