Longines World's Best Race Horse | Horse Racing Free Tips

The 2023 Longines World Racing Awards will be held at London's Savoy Hotel Jan. 23, the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities announced Wednesday. The event, co-hosted by the Swiss watch brand Longines, will honour the highest-rated horse in the 2023 Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings as well as the Longines World's Best Horse Race.

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.

The trophies are engraved with the name of the Longines World's Best Racehorse and Horse Race, respectively, and the representatives of the winners are presented with Longines timepieces.
