Equus Awards
Welcome to the Equus Awards archive, celebrating the champions of South African horse racing.
The awards, held annually in August, is a celebration of South African horse racing, recognising champions across equine and human categories. Winners in equine categories are selected by a panel of seasoned judges using a points table as a guide. Media awards also honor outstanding contributions in writing, broadcasting, and photography.
Points are accumulated by each horse during the season in Graded races, with exceptions for the Champion Stayer category. Grade 1 races carry the most points, followed by Grade 2 and Grade 3. Open races and weight-for-age (WFA) races also carry more points. Certain races are designated "Super Status" due to their importance. Points are awarded to the top finishers in each race, with different criteria for each grade and category. These points determine the nominees for the Equus Awards, recognizing the potential champions of South Africa's racing season.
