On 17 November 2009, the nineteenth Cartier Racing Awards ceremony took place at the Claridge Hotel, Mayfair. This prestigious event awards those in the horse racing industry for outstanding performances, and for contributions made to the sport. The awards, to recognize achievements, are allocated through a points system, where racing journalists and readers, have the opportunity to vote for the horses and community members they believe, deserve to be distinguished from the rest. It was a night of celebration and honor, as the winners of the 2009 Cartier Racing Awards were read.
The long striding racehorse is somewhat of a contradiction in racing circles; from this type of horse we get the two extremes of racehorses, the all-time champions and the one paced snails. Why is there such a pronounced contrast in horses that have long strides?
Held in Britain, every November, the Paddy Power Gold Cup is a National Hunt Chase event, for four year old horses and older. This Grade 3 meeting is hosted by Cheltenham, the Old Course, and features fifteen fences throughout the race. It was inaugurated in 1960 and has become a popular horse racing event. This year, the Irish walked away with the title, as racing sensation Tranquil Sea crossed the finish line in first place, and surprised the entire horse racing community.
Laurel Park Racecourse and Pimlico Racecourse have always been viewed as one entity, but with the bankruptcy proceedings underway, of Magna Entertainment Corporation, the future of these two racecourses have been hanging in the balance. Trying not to be discouraged, Laurel Park Racecourse still applied for the authorization of their scheduled winter racing season, and finally, their application has been accepted. So, amidst auctions and buyers trying to purchase the racecourses, Laurel Park Racecourse will forge ahead with an action filled horse racing schedule.
Randy Vogt?s grandfather used to take him to the racetrack. In 2006, he entered a contest to name a horse, and won. Introducing One for Grandpa.
Mr. Frankel was one of the most successful American thoroughbred trainers of the last 40 years, though he never won the Kentucky Derby.
It is so rare for a female thoroughbred to reign in the stud-driven sport that a dream now consumes the racing world: a match between Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta.
Every horse came home safely, and the headlines belonged to Zenyatta, who defeated some of the best male horses in the world Saturday.
Zenyatta ran her record to 14-0 and put an exclamation point on a great year for fillies by coming from way back to win the Breeders? Cup Classic.
The Breeders? Cup concludes Saturday at Santa Anita Park with eight races.
