Prior to the 2002/03 season, there was an overall age group award in addition to a fillies/mares award for each age. Therefore where there is no winner above, a female won the overall age category, and no male was awarded.

* From the 2012/2013 season to the 2014/2015 season, the 5YO+ category was dropped and made into the 4YO+ category.
