- What are the Cartier Awards?
- The Cartier Awards, held annually, recognize outstanding achievements in horse racing throughout the year. The awards include several equine categories and one human award for lifetime achievement.
- How are the winners of the Cartier Awards determined?
- Voting for the Cartier Awards is comprised of three elements: points from Pattern races (30%), votes from Telegraph and Racing Post readers (35%), and scores from an expert panel (35%). This ensures a comprehensive evaluation of horse performance.
- How important are reader votes in determining the Cartier Awards winners?
- While some categories in the Cartier Awards appear to have a clear winner, many remain open, highlighting the importance of reader votes in the selection process. Reader participation is a crucial component of the final results.
- Are geldings eligible for the Horse of the Year title in the Cartier Awards?
- Unlike the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, geldings are eligible for the Horse of the Year title along with colts in the Cartier Awards. This means that a wider range of horses can be considered for the top award.
- When does voting for the Cartier Awards close and how can readers participate?
- Voting for the Cartier Awards closes at noon on Tuesday. Readers who correctly predict the category winners will be entered into a draw to win a Cartier prize. Voting can be done online at www.cartierracingawards.co.uk
