The awards were held in front of the greatest prize in Australasian racing - the Melbourne Cup - which arrived at Wingatui last night.
Jackfrost's Grand National and Great Northern Hurdles double helped him win jumper of the year and beat his stablemate, Gallant Boy, to the province's top prize.
Jackfrost has returned from Victoria to New Zealand after going amiss during his Australian campaign.
One of the highlights at the awards was Otago Racing Club stalwart Colin McDonald receiving a service award from New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing.
Another came when Wingatui track manager Wayne Stevens was recognised for 15 years' service to the Otago Racing Club.
Gallant Boy helped send a haul of trophies back to White Robe Lodge when he was crowned Otago's best miler.
The Brian and Shane Anderton-trained galloper had his best season on the track at the ripe age of 8 last term.
Gallant Boy won the Southland Crystals before edging out Boots `N' All in an exciting finish to the group 3 White Robe Lodge Weight-For-Age.
Brian and Shane Anderton were named trainers of the year.
Corey Campbell, who rode Gallant Boy to one of his wins last season, was jockey of the year.
White Robe Lodge was named breeder of the year.
Gallant Boy was beaten in the sprinter of the year category by Dreaming Easy.
The Steve Tyler-trained mare had four wins and four seconds in her 16 starts last season.
Dreaming Easy also beat The Precious One, who won once and placed in the listed Hazlett Stakes and group 3 Canterbury Breeders Stakes in seven starts.
Steve Tyler took out the strike rate award for Otago trainers at last night's event.
There were few surprises when a Terry Kennedy-trained runner became Otago's stayer of the year.
Aboli claimed the award following his breakout season, which included his win of the Tapanui Cup and running second in the listed Dunedin Gold Cup.
The galloper beat his now retired stablemate, Princess Brook, who won the feature staying event at Wingatui on Boxing Day and ran second in premier company during the New Zealand Cup carnival.
The 3yr-old of the year category was less clear cut. Kerany pipped ill-fated early Two Thousand Guineas contender William James to win the title.
