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!

Dubai Sheema Classic Equinox Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe Ace Impact Breeders' Cup Turf Auguste Rodin Hong Kong Mile Golden Sixty Tenno Sho (Autumn) Equinox

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

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

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.

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.

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

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?

Excellent 👌👌👌 Happy Racing 🎁❤️❤️❤️🎁

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.

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。

Dubai sheema classic of equinox? 😢

Excelente Ekno❤❤🎉

なんで天皇賞秋がないんだ…

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.

August Rodin got his revenge!Very classy horse

Race #8 was🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Apik tenan balapane jaran.

The Arc and Ace Impact are missing, as well as the Sheema Classic, and given their importance, the title of this video is misleading.

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

BRAVOOOOOOO... ❤

Who doesn't love a video countdown rankings that starts at #1? What are they thinking? Who starts with #1 first and counts up?

Australian racecallers are in a class of their own.

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.

للفرسان و فرسهم، اللهم آت نفسي تقواها أنت وليها و مولاها و خير من زكاها ❤

I would rate Equinox as d.Best for 2023..👍👍👍

❤❤❤

Good trick he rude off the 🐎😂❤❤

You need the context of form, rating and odds to see why quickthorn's win deserves to be in here.

A lot of salty international racing fans on here and its natural to be patriotic. For me without a fight was the best, being able to travel so far and win the way he did competing in a full field in one of the hardest distance handicaps in the world truly is a monumental moment. Horses that travel outside their home tracks always get a nod from me, instead of staying home and claiming to be the greatest of all time though not racing the best of all time.

Cox and Melbourne cup still My favourite it has to do with the crowd's,and the commentators,and of course, the buildup all week,

Equinox's best performance was at the Japan Cup.

DETORI.. SUPER.. ❤

Wish they’d shown the Melbourne Cup the correct view: the camera in front of the straight, with the left to right view that most of the crowd trackside had.

Saudit cup phantalasa Dubai world cup ushba tesoro Shema clasick Equinoxx Japan súper star

My dream is Panthalassa

Et Ace impact ???

Why don't you include Japn Cup？

Missing Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, which for me is the greates race of the world

Country grammar had everything to win but took time to get going

looking for more work in manamet

Not a serious video without Ace Impact in the Arc

イクイノックスがクラブの意向で早々に引退したのが残念です 世界で戦う姿が見たかった

❤😂🎉

❤😂6 good mindset my money 😂❤🎉

บังขวัญ

I'm trying to figure out why Lone Star Park cashiers won't pay across the board winnings only the win is paid out. Then some guy (Commissioner) say " You got you money", it wasn't no one else's win and never received my payout in full (2023).

SA

FLIGHTLINE IS THE BEST!❤❤❤❤😂😂🎉🎉🎉😂❤❤

If you want to promote racing, please do it properly no misleading. It's with no doubt in this industry the highest rated turf race this year is the Arc and Dubai Sheema classic.

Where is ace impact ?

Arc?

Mostadhaf - POW win is greatly overrated?! But ACE IMPACT arc - best for me !!! Equinox and ACE Impact are real superstars

arc de trionphe

Where is the Kentucky Derby? Breeders Cup?--the Classic? I knew you were biased but this is too much!!!

エースインパクトも居ないし、イクイノックスも居ない。この動画のどこが2023ベストレースなんだ...？イクイノックスってやっぱり欧州だと評価されてないのかな？

World best races is without hongkong superstar horse golden sixty useless

How boring is it listening to English commentators. You almost fall asleep watching the race.
