Beginning in 2020, the Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) and United States Polo Association® (USPA) will recognize Thoroughbreds that are excelling as polo horses through seven awards that will be offered annually. For a Thoroughbred to be eligible for these awards, it must be registered with The Jockey Club or a foreign Thoroughbred stud book recognized by The Jockey Club and have a T.I.P. number. There is no charge for a T.I.P. Number. The application will open November 1 and close November 30 each year.
