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!

Thanks man, this is a fantastic video. 3 cheers mate! I've been watching and betting horse racing since 1964, and I've seen a million by now. I'm an expert at great races, for sure, lolol. This is a great compilation, luvit!❤

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...❤❤❤😮😮😮

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?

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.

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

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

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.

@@elgransenor1472 That's because he spends nearly all his life racing right-handed. Mr Brightside is no slouch himself having his career best season to date. Cox Plate 2003 was rightfully judged the best race of 2023 because of the margin between the placegetters. Even Alligator Blood ran above himself in finishing 3rd.

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.

Excelente Ekno❤❤🎉

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.

@davidwong6682

To me Equinox's best performance was in Dubai Sheema Classic. Watch that race in your own time. That was unbelievably insane because he broke the 2400m track record by leading all the way without being off the bridle for the entire trip. In Japan Cup he was chasing Panthalassa and Christoph Lemaire did use the whip once.

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.

I liked the overhead view it gives a totally different perspective than the regular camera angle.

@noirjacques3274

4 ай бұрын

I do somewhat agree, strangely. The camera angle they give here, though, is from the inside- showing a clockwise angle. That’s like watching the races the wrong way to what everyone in Australia except NSW and Qld are used to. Given it’s a Victorian race is part why I made the comment.

@russe19642

I've never seen that angle before,but I like it because it takes the whole field in and shows the positioning nearer to the rails you can't see normally.

Et Ace impact ???

Why don't you include Japn Cup？

DETORI.. SUPER.. ❤

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).

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,

My dream is Panthalassa
