City Of Troy was crowned Cartier Horse of the Year at the 34th Cartier Racing Awards during a celebratory evening at the Dorchester Hotel in London on Wednesday 20th November 2024. 

The son of US Triple Crown winner Frankel to receive the Cartier Two-Year-Old Colt and the Cartier Horse of the Year accolade in successive years. 

An authoritative winner of the Sea The Stars, recipient of the Cartier Horse of the Year award in 2009, is the only other colt to win all three races. 

City Of Troy takes the Cartier Horse of the Year award ahead of stable-mate Bluestocking.

The Cartier Three-Year-Old Colt award also goes to City Of Troy, who prevails over Calandagan. 

Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (Sponsored By QIPCO). 

Goliath and globe-trotting star Rebel’s Romance. 

The Cartier Three-Year-Old Filly Award goes to Coolmore America "Justify" Matron Stakes.

Owned by a partnership that includes Barry Fowler, Medallion Racing, Steve Weston and Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, the Donnacha O’Brien-trained daughter of Kalpana, who all recorded top-level wins of their own during 2024. 

Kind Of Blue and Starlust, successful in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint, were also nominated. 

Comer Group International Irish St Leger and Qatar Prix du Cadran. 

Trained by Aidan O’Brien for a Coolmore partnership that includes Moyglare Stud Farm, Sue Magnier, Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith and Westerberg, Kyprios dominated a division that also saw rising star Sweet William nominated. 

Godolphin’s Whistlejacket. 

Desert Flower completing those nominated for the award. 

The recipient of the Cartier/The Daily Telegraph Award of Merit in 2024 is Jessica Harrington. A supremely talented horsewoman, she represented Ireland in three-day eventing before establishing herself as one of her country’s most successful trainers in both Flat and National Hunt racing.

Laurent Feniou, Managing Director of Cartier UK, commented: “We are thrilled to celebrate another tremendous year of European racing and our congratulations go to all of this year’s winners at the Cartier Racing Awards. City Of Troy looked an exceptional colt throughout the season and he is a worthy recipient of the Cartier Horse of the Year award. We are honoured to be able to present the Cartier/The Daily Telegraph Award of Merit to Jessica Harrington, who has proved such an inspirational figure across the equestrian world. I would like to extend a special thanks to our media partners Racing Post, The Daily Telegraph and Sky Sports Racing for their ongoing of the Cartier Racing Awards.”
