Description:
The 2021 Longines World Racing Awards will be held virtually on Tuesday, 25 January 2022. Internationally renowned presenter Francesca Cumani will host the online show from the National Horse Racing Museum in Newmarket, England. The ninth edition of the ceremony will celebrate the Longines World’s Best Racehorse, the Longines World’s Best Horse Race, and the Longines World’s Best Jockey of the 2021 season. The event is organised by the Swiss watch brand Longines and the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA).
The Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings are established by international handicappers according to the performance of the horses in top races. The highest rated race is determined by averaging the rankings of the first four placed horses. In the previous edition, Ghaiyyath (IRE) was crowned the Longines World’s Best Racehorse, while the Juddmonte International Stakes (G1) was named the Longines World’s Best Horse Race.
Ryan Moore, the 2021 Longines World’s Best Jockey, will also be honoured during the ceremony. The awarding of the Longines World’s Best Jockey title is based upon performances in the 100 highest-rated Group 1 and Grade 1 races as established for the year by the Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings Committee. The scoring incorporates races from 1 December of the previous year until 30 November of the current year.
