The 2021 Longines World Racing Awards will be held virtually on Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2022. 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 Racing Awards will be released on multiple digital platforms including the social media accounts from Longines and the IFHA. The ceremony will reveal the highest-rated horses in the Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings for the year 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. In the previous edition, Ghaiyyath 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 honored 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 Dec. 1 of the previous year until Nov. 30 of the current year.
The full list and further information on the Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings are available on the IFHA website ifhaonline.org.
