In 1987 Downing, along with John A. Nerud, was honored by the National Association of State Racing Commissioners with the William H. May Award for their outstanding achievements and contributions to thoroughbred racing.
Both awards honored Downing’s superior contributions to the world of thoroughbred racing and breeding, as well as the generous time and effort given to the industry through his participation in the creation and development of the Breeders’ Cup program, in which he served as President of Breeders’ Cup Limited.
