Description:
The second Longines World's Best Racehorse ceremony will be held in London Jan. 20, at which time the year's final rankings will be revealed.
The International Federation of Horseracing Authorities and Longines, the official timekeeper for numerous high-level races, will provide a live video stream of the ceremony, which will be held at the iconic hotel Claridge's and will begin at 12:55 p.m. GMT. The live video stream will be available at both longines.com and ifhaonline.org.
The World's Best Racehorse Rankings are set by international handicappers according to the performance of the horses in top races. Japan's Just a Way has led the way for the majority of the year on the strength of his dominant triumph in the Dubai Duty Free (UAE-I) at Meydan. European 3-year-olds Australia, Kingman, and The Grey Gatsby as well as South Africa's Variety Club currently share the title of co-second-highest rated horse in the world.
The owner of the winning horse will be presented with a rose gold chronograph from the Conquest Classic collection and a replica of the vase of the Longines World's Best Racehorse. The original vase, on which the names of the winning horses are engraved, is displayed at the Hour Passion concept store on Oxford Street.
