Tara Madgwick - Thursday November 21

Outstanding Justify colt City of Troy was crowned Horse of the Year at the 2024 Cartier awards on Wednesday night in London at a star studded ceremony at the Dorchester Hotel.

City of Troy is the 2024 Cartier Horse of the Year.

The Coolmore owned star enjoyed a dominant summer campaign under the guidance of Aidan O'Brien with Group I wins in the Epsom Derby, Eclipse Stakes and Juddmonte International, which also helped him claim the top three-year-old colt award.

City Of Troy is just the second horse after Frankel to receive Horse of the Year honours after having been awarded top two-year-old colt honours the previous year.
