all in Breeders' Cup

Ten of the most thrilling, memorable, and momentous events from Thoroughbred racing in North America last year have been nominated for the 2024 FanDuel Racing-NTRA Moment of the Year, a distinction determined by fan voting and recognized at the annual Eclipse Awards.

While specific comeback races have yet to be decided, owner Mike Repole has a few primary targets in mind for his stable's two stars who both turned age 4 on Jan. 1.

America’s Best Racing correspondent Tom Pedulla looks back at 10 stories that made 2024 a year to toast:

As 2024 comes to an end, this seems like a good time to look back at the past year and reflect on the best races of the year. Here is one racing fan’s highly subjective list of the top 10 races of 2024, with the criteria being stretch battles, close finishes, or exceptional performances in stakes races run at the highest level of competition. We hope you had a good year, and that you will enjoy plenty of good racing and wagering in the year ahead. Good luck and happy holidays!

The Thoroughbred is known for its athletic prowess and tenacious spirit, qualities that the humblest of claimers or the grandest of champions can show when put to the test. When an injury sends a horse to the sidelines, their performance when they return to the racetrack can show fans what that particular competitor is made of.
