The ACJC Horse of the Year is not simply a title awarded for wins on the track. It recognises a horse that has consistently demonstrated outstanding performance, courage under pressure, and sporting excellence throughout the season. It also honours the collective effort of the owners, trainers, jockeys, stable staff, and connections whose commitment makes such achievement possible.

Every season, our chosen Horse of the Year stood out through performances that inspired racing fans, elevated competition, and upheld the proud traditions of the Australian Chinese Jockey Club. Time and again, this horse rose to the occasion on Sydney’s biggest stages, delivering moments that will be remembered long after the finishing post was crossed.
