The 10 Best Races Of 2023 | What Were The Greatest Contests Last Year? | World Horse Racing

As a big fan of international racing these are my top races of the year. I'm just basing it on the races I enjoyed the most and found the most memorable. I limited it to group one races and lean heavily to turf racing. #1 - JAPAN CUP - Equinox ends his racing career romping in a star studded field, beating filly triple crown winner Liberty Island. #2 - SHEEMA CLASSIC - Equinox let the rest of the world know, what the Japanese already knew, beating top European horses easily. #3 - HONG KONG MILE - Golden Sixty at age 8, after a long layoff, wins his 3rd mile in a devastating performance. #4 - COX PLATE - Romantic Warrior wins Australia's top weight for age race in a historic win for Hong Kong. #5 - ARC DE TRIOMPHE - Ace Impact retires unbeaten. Unfortunately we'll never know how great he could of become. 6 - HONG KONG CUP - Romantic Warrior wins a thrilling finish over Luxembourg capping a great day for Hong Kong and showing the strength of their horses to the world. 7 - BREEDER'S CUP TURF - Auguste Rodin caps off a great year in beating top European and a good American Up To The Mark. #8 - STEWARDS CUP - This race way back in January was a heavily anticipated meeting between Golden Sixty, Romantic Warrior and California Spangle (who had just beaten Golden Sixty in the 2022 Hong Kong Mile). The race lived up to expectations with Golden Sixty getting his revenge. #9 - TENNO SHO AUTUMN -Equinox - enough said. #10 DEWHURST - Always looking to the future. Can the exciting City Of Troy be that special 3 year old next year? A few honorable mentions: KING GEORGE VI - Hukum MELBOURNE CUP - Without a Fight HK SPRINT - Lucky Sweynesse QUEEN LIZ (UK) - Big Rock JACQUES LE MAROIS - Inspiral Again these were just my personal favorite races!

Thoroughly enjoyed this.. That race call for Auguste Rodin winning the Irish Champion Stakes is one of my all time favorites

You couldn't ask for anything better that the races of 2023!! Some was exciting and others were good. Hopefully, 2024, will have some fresh new faces and some great wins.

Thanks for 10 best races of 2023. Looking forward for 2024...❤❤❤😮😮😮

The cox plate...now that Winx is retired other horses have a chance. Loved watching Winx.

Excellent show n well organised. Thank u for ur time n enjoyed watching the races. God bless.

An Honorable Mention from an American: Cody's Wish in the BC Dirt Mile. I can't really say who was the best American horse this year because none of them really shone other than Cody's Wish. Otherwise, some good choices. Undoubtedly Equinox & Auguste Rodin were 2 of the best flat racing horses in the world this year, followed by Panthalazz, Golden Sixty, & Without A Fight. Are you gonna do a similar list for the jump racers?

Horse racing is an art form and while enjoying the thrill I enjoy a fine cigar. There are levels to fine handcrafted premium cigar and spirits. Selective boutique manufacturers like Didier Cigars is truly special. I’ve done the pairing with Angels Envy and a Salomon from Didier Cigars. The experience is truly magical and sophisticated.

The champion of Cox Plate is simply epic!

The most exciting race of 2023 and possibly that I’ve ever seen was Master of the Seas in the BC Mile. Followed by Up To The Mark’s victory over him at Keeneland.

なんで天皇賞秋がないんだ…

I love this channel it helps me with the bloodstock Shug offered me a job when he was at Gulfstream I'll show you around the horses

BRAVOOOOOOO... ❤

Excellent 👌👌👌 Happy Racing 🎁❤️❤️❤️🎁

イクイノックスが評価されていて嬉しい。 ただなんで宝塚記念が選ばれたか分からない。面子的にもレースレコード的にも天皇賞かJCじゃないのかな。

Excelente Ekno❤❤🎉

Race #8 was🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The King George at Ascot was my race of the year.

The king george hukum won may be the greatest ever oing george going. So much talent in that race about 10 of the runners where serious talents and dessert crown was also suppose to run. Hukum really was outstanding that day.

Australian racecallers are in a class of their own.
