The winners of the 2012 Cartier Racing Awards will be
unveiled in little over a month's time and QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot
on October 20, which is likely to be the venue for the final racecourse
appearance of the world's best horse Frankel, is sure to play a pivotal
role in the battle for honours.
The Cartier Awards are now in their 22nd year, having been
established in 1991 to reward excellence in horseracing. They are determined by
points earned by horses in Pattern races throughout 2012, combined at the end
of season with the opinions of a panel of racing journalists and votes from
readers of the Racing Post and The Daily Telegraph.
In addition to eight equine awards, the Cartier/Daily
Telegraph Award of Merit goes to the person or persons who, in the opinion of
the special Cartier Jury, has/have done the most for European racing and/or
breeding either over their lifetime or within the past 12 months.
European horseracing's equivalent of the Oscars will be
presented during a glittering ceremony before an invited audience at London's
Dorchester Hotel on Tuesday, November 13.
Frankel (144 points), owned by Prince Khalid Adbulla, still
trails Camelot (168) in the points' standings for Cartier Horse Of The
Year but victory at Ascot in the Group One QIPCO Champion Stakes would ensure
the unbeaten Sir Henry Cecil-trained colt gains a repeat victory in this very
prestigious category.
Camelot, trained in Ireland by Aidan O'Brien and owned by a
Coolmore partnership, has won the QIPCO 2,000 Guineas, Investec Derby and Dubai
Duty Free Irish Derby this season but, after a close second in the Ladbrokes St
Leger, could fare no better than seventh behind shock Qatar Prix de l'Arc de
Triomphe scorer Solemia in Paris on October 7.
Moonlight Cloud has
100 points in the Cartier Horse of the Year category following Group One
victories in the Prix Maurice de Gheest and Qatar Prix du Moulin de Longchamp,
while Shareta, another dual Group One winner this season, and Cirrus
Des Aigles are both on 88 points.
French-trained Cirrus Des Aigles, set to meet Frankel in
the £1.3-million QIPCO British Champion Stakes which he won in 2011, has landed
Group One contests in Dubai and France this season and warmed up for defence of
his Ascot crown with a facile nine-length victory in the Group Two Qatar Prix
Dollar at Longchamp on October 6.
Frankel, Moonlight Cloud, Cirrus Des Aigles and Shareta
also lead the way in the standings in the Cartier Older Horse category, while
Camelot has a commanding advantage in the standings for Cartier Three-Year-Old
Colt ahead of Saonois (74) and Bayrir (56), both beaten in the
Arc, plus Encke (56), Camelot's Doncaster conqueror.
In the Cartier Three-Year-Old Filly category, Group One
Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes heroine The Fugue is out in front on 82
points followed by Investec Oaks winner Was (68), Elusive Kate (64)
and Beauty Parlour (56).
The two Cartier categories for juveniles are really hotting
up and Olympic Glory (88) jumped to the head of the standings in the
race to be crowned Cartier Two-Year-Old Colt following his victory in the Group
One Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp on October 7. Newmarket plays host to
Dubai Future Champions Day this Saturday, October 13, with the undefeated
Reckless Abandon (80) set to contest the Group One Vision.ae Middle Park
Stakes and Godolphin's Dawn Approach (64), who has also yet to taste
defeat, due to face the starter in the Group One Dubai Dewhurst Stakes.
Godolphin's Group One Shadwell Fillies' Mile scorer Certify
(72) is out in front in the Cartier Two-Year-Old Filly followed by Rosdhu
Queen (64), who landed the Group One Jaguar Cars Cheveley Park Stakes at
Newmarket on September 29, Sky Lantern (56), Harasiya (24) and Sendmylovetorose
(24).
Godolphin also holds a strong hand in the Cartier Stayer
category, with Group One Gold Cup winner Colour Vision on 68, well clear
of his stablemate Opinion Poll (36). Dual Group Two winner Times Up
is on 35, followed by Saddlers Rock (32).
In the thrilling race for the Cartier Sprinter Award,
Darley July Cup victor Mayson leads the way on 72, just ahead of Wizz
Kid (64), who got the better of Mayson by a neck in a thrilling renewal of
the Group One Qatar Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp over five furlongs on October
7. Moonlight Cloud has 56 points based on her performances over sprint
distances, with Australian mare Ortensia on 54.
Harry Herbert, Cartier's racing consultant, commented:
"We have witnessed tremendous racing over recent weeks and attention now
turns to QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot on October 20, when everyone is
eagerly anticipating a final spectacular performance from Frankel.
"With Dubai Future Champions Day at Newmarket on
Saturday, and America's Breeders' Cup on the horizon, the final scenes will be
played out before the 2012 Cartier Racing Awards are decided."
