Sea The Stars up for two Cartier Racing Awards


  • Group 1 winning racehorses Sea The Stars, Conduit and Goldikova are among those up for the prestigious Cartier Horse of the Year award, which will be announced tomorrow.

    Nominations for the 2009 Cartier Racing Awards, European horseracing’s equivalent of the Oscars, were revealed at the weekend (Saturday, 14 November).

    Recently retired will battle against Conduit, Goldikova, Mastercraftsman and Ghanaati for the Horse of the Year title.

    The John Oxx-trained colt, who won six races in a row this year, is also up for the Cartier Three-Year-Old colt award against Fame And Glory, Le Havre, Mastercraftsman and Rip Van Winkle.

    The Cartier Racing Awards, which are in their 19th year, recognise excellence in horse racing.

    The awards will be presented tomorrow night (Tuesday, 17 November) in London.

    The eight awards are awarded by points earned through races combined with the opinions of a panel of racing journalists, as well as votes from readers of the Racing Post and The Daily Telegraph.
