What other great horse races are there around the world.?

  • I know the Melbourne Cup is steeped in tradition. The Kentucky Derby Preakness Stakes Belmont Stakes Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe 2000 Guineas Stakes 1000 Guineas Stakes Epsom Oaks Epsom Derby St Ledger Stakes Royal Ascot Gold Cup Goodwood Cup Doncaster Cup Hong Kong Cup Japan Cup Dubai Cup Any other great horse races that are steeped in tradition or capture the countries imagination.

  • Answer:

    Here's a few to add to your list too...In South Africa, currently its premier event is the Durban July handicap The event began here in 1797, although the first recorded club meeting took place in 1802. , an event that draws roughly 50,000 people each year. As you mention, in Australia the Melbourne Cup is referred to as the 'race that stops a nation.' But, also, his country's first racing club was formed in Wallahbadah in 1852. The Wallahbadah cup is actually still held every year on New Year's Day. Also, France, the most popular course in this region is the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe which is held the first Sunday in October in Longchamp Racecourse. :)

If it was possible every persons breath in the UK would be held for the John Smiths' GRAND NATIONAL. The greatest horse race in the world. 4m4f, 30 fences, upto 5f 10inches of uttor terrofying fern staks, huge ditches and what you would have thought a once in a lifetime crowd even though its run every year. The Cheltenham Gold Cup is the best national hunt race in the world on 'class' with any multiple winners having their name etched in history and the largest roar in the world if the favourite wins. And the King George VI Stakes at Kempton every boxing day (Kauto Star is going for worldwide history this year when competing for his 5th consecutive win in the race) However if you want just the flat then of course you forgot The King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, The QE2 stakes, The Ebor (richest handicap in europe), The Eclipse, Champion Stakes, Dewhurst, Racing Post Trophy and of course the Irish Classics: Irish Derby, Irish Oaks, Irish 1000 Guineas, Irish 2000 Guineas, Irish St Leger (although this is for all ages)
