It was a pandemic year, and as we get ready for the 2021 season it is still not known if or when any sense of the old normality will return.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe usual running order required some rejigging but by the end of the year, after an almost complete pattern-race schedule, 69 horses had won a Group 1 race in Europe and\/or been a British- or Irish-trained winner of such a race in another continent, accumulating a combined haul of 92 top-level contests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGhaiyyath was crowned Horse of the Year after a 130-rated season in which he won three times at the highest level. Magical also won three, her planned retirement to stud postponed by a year. Love lit up the classic scene with wide-margin wins in the 1000 Guineas and Oaks, whereas the year-older Tarnawa gave the great Irish trainer Dermot Weld an overdue Breeders' Cup victory. Battaash headed the sprinters' division again, Stradivarius' performance in the Gold Cup gave the brilliant stayer a new career-high rating, Palace Pier headed the milers, Sottsass rounded off his career with an Arc triumph, while St Mark's Basilica led the way in a muddled two-year-old division.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the year's brightest stars have now moved on to new careers at stud, but many of them will be back in action in 2021 for what promises to be another exciting season.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced by a racing and pedigrees writer with over 30 years' experience, the author of \u003cem\u003eEuropean Group 1 Winners of 2019\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eEuropean Group 1 Winners of 2018\u003c\/em\u003e and other titles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sieglinde McGee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1838433104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781838433109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sleipnir Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.94d","brand":"Sieglinde McGee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153847431423,"sku":"9781838433109","price":24.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47bfb8bc-2136-4236-82f9-d41de4e98417.jpg?v=1770786230","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/best-racehorses-of-2020-volume-sieglinde-mcgee-9781838433109","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
