The 2015 Longines World's Best Racehorse and Longines World's Best Horse Race award ceremony will be held at Claridge's hotel in London Jan. 19, the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) and Longines announced Wednesday. This is the third time the Longines World's Best Race Horse award has been celebrated; and marks the inaugural Longines World's Best Horse Race ceremony, which was created during the International Conference of the IFHA in October. The Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings are established by worldwide handicappers according to the performance of horses finishing in the top 100 Group 1/Grade I races, with the Longines World's Best Horse Race determined from the same. Just A Way (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}) received the Longines World's Best Racehorse honor in 2014, following a tie between Australian superstar Black Caviar (Aus) (Bel Esprit {Aus}) and dual G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe heroine Treve (Fr) (Motivator {GB}) during the inaugural competition in 2013. The connections of the Longines World's Best Racehorse will be presented with an engraved crystal vase christened Equus, as well as a Longines timepiece.
