Equinox: World’s Top Thoroughbred Heads to Retirement
In Horse Racing News: Record Breaker Is Out
Japanese racing sensation Equinox is hanging up his horseshoes. After blazing through the tracks and snagging his sixth Grade 1 victory at the Japan Cup, Silk Racing Co. announced his retirement. This piece of horse racing news is the end of an era for this four-legged superstar.
From Rookie to Legend
Equinox isn’t just any horse; he’s the cream of the crop. Crowned the world’s No. 1 racehorse, he’s a sight to behold with eight wins in 10 starts. Talk about hitting the jackpot – he’s bagged a record-breaking 2.2 billion yen in prize money. That’s a lot of carrots!
This horse kicked off his career with a bang in August 2021, winning right out of the gate. In just three months, he was already a stakes race champ. Despite a couple of close calls in Japan’s Triple Crown, Equinox didn’t just get back on the horse -pun intended- he led the pack, winning six major races in a row, including the prestigious Dubai Sheema Classic.

A Japan Victory Lap to Remember
At the Japan Cup, with French jockey Christophe Lemaire in the saddle, Equinox wasn’t just running – he was flying! Coached by Tetsuya Kimura, he left the competition in the dust, winning by a whopping four lengths. Now, in stunning horse racing news, he bowed out like the great ones.
It’s been a wild ride with Equinox, and as he trots into retirement, we tip our hats to a true legend of the racetrack. 🏇🌟
