**Note: From 1996, the Lawn Derby Awards recognised separate Horse and Mare categories as well as an overall Australian Aged Pacer of the Year.
               In 2011 the overall Aged Pacer of the Year Award was discontinued. The leading Horse/Gelding and Mare Award categories were maintained.
               In 2012 the overall Australian Pacer of the Year Award was introduced

***        Smoken Up NZ was originally voted as winner of the 2011 Aged Horse/Gelding Pacer of the year. After being disqualified from 2011 Inter Dominion Pacing Championship he became
               ineligible for the HRA Awards and the Award was recast.
