The 2014 Longines World’s Best Racehorse Ceremony will be held on 20 January 2015 in London

Longines and the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) have announced that the 2014 Longines World’s Best Racehorse Ceremony will be held on 20 January 2015 in London, England, at the hotel Claridge’s. The ceremony will honour the top highest rated horses in the Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings.

This marks the second Longines World’s Best Racehorse Ceremony, following the inaugural event held in December 2013 during the gala dinner of the Longines Hong Kong International Races.

For 2013, Black Caviar (AUS) and Treve (FR) were honored as the world’s co-highest rated racehorse. Just A Way (JPN) has led the rankings for the majority of 2014 on the strength of his dominant triumph in the G1 Dubai Duty Free Stakes.

The trophy of the Longines World’s Best Racehorse is a crystal vase named Equus. Every year, it is engraved with the name of the Longines World’s Best Racehorse and the representative of the winner is presented with an elegant Longines watch. In 2015, a Conquest Classic timepiece, dedicated to Longines’ passion for equestrian sports, will be given.

The date of the ceremony will also mark the unveiling of the full Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings and European 2-year-old classifications for 2014.
