The Japan Racing Association will present its 2022 Horse of the Year title to 3-year-old colt Equinox, who secured 282 out of 288 votes for an outstanding year during which he dominated two prestigious Group 1 events the Tenno Sho (Autumn) and the Arima Kinen and achieved runner-up performances in both spring classics. The star colt was also selected Best 3-Year-Old Colt with 285 votes.
Japanese horses have been in a rich vein of form in recent overseas races as decades-long efforts to improve domestically bred thoroughbreds have narrowed the gap with horses bred in Europe and the United States.
