The late Ian Daff was a prolific researcher when it came to the bloodlines of the standardbred and published several books on the topic, which, pre-internet, were a boon to breeders looking for information on their bloodstock.
He was a multiple Joseph Coulter Award winner for his writing on the sport, which often focused on pedigrees (see below link for complete bibliography).
Harness Breeders Victoria’s Ian Daff Memorial Award was created to recognise the contribution made by Daff to the Victorian breeding industry over a long period by celebrating those in our industry who continue in that vein – improving, nurturing, supporting or developing our industry through research, training and mentoring, technological or bloodline development, volunteerism, documentary methods, reproductive veterinary advances and investments, and strategy.
