Timeform Awards launched to celebrate leading performances of 2023
Racehorse ratings experts Timeform will crown the leading horses and performances of the year at the inaugural Timeform Awards on Wednesday 20 December.
The Timeform Awards aim to acknowledge and celebrate the Flat season’s success stories and will be announced digitally across Timeform’s social media channels. Articles analysing the achievements of the winners, and outlining how they were chosen, will be available on Timeform .com on 20 December.
Ever since Timeform was established in 1948, great care has been taken to keep the level of Timeform ratings consistent from one season to the next so that comparisons can meaningfully be made between contemporaries and between different generations. That has helped to earn Timeform ratings a long-held reputation as the definitive assessment of a horse’s ability.
There are eight awards on offer, and a top three will be announced for each category.
Leading contenders
Japanese superstar Equinox announced himself to a wider audience when lowering the track record in a high-class renewal of the Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan in March and has continued to impress on the clock and on the eye.
Ace Impact also earned plenty of admirers throughout a flawless six-race campaign which began at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in January and ended with success in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp before he headed off to stud. He was the first Arc winner since Rail Link in 2006 who didn’t race as a juvenile.
Auguste Rodin was another to enjoy a memorable campaign. He bounced back from a flop in the 2000 Guineas to win the Derby, while he also added the Irish Derby, Irish Champion Stakes and Breeders’ Cup Turf to his haul. His trainer Aidan O’Brien also had another strong batch of juveniles in 2023, including City of Troy and Henry Longfellow who won the Dewhurst and National Stakes respectively.

Discover relics and big wins in Gold of Egypt from Silverback Gaming
Venture deep into the ancient tomb and find the treasures hidden inside this entertaining 3×3 slot
Intrepid players are being given the chance to venture back in time to a land ruled by the great Pharaohs where they can uncover relics, treasures and big wins in Gold of Egypt, the latest slot from Silverback Gaming.
In Gold of Egypt, players find themselves in a hot and arid desert at the entrance to a secret tomb. As the reels spin, ancient symbols land on the reels including a Cat, Snake, Scorpion and Scarab, as well as different hieroglyphics.
The aim of the game is to spin the reels and hunt down the relics, which trigger the bonus features. This includes Mystical Relics and Golden Relics with Respins and Wilds also in play.
There are four Mystical Relics in total (Cat, Snake, Scorpion and Scarab) that land in the base game. Depending on the Mystical Relic that lands, players are taken to a special mini game where they can discover some of the tomb’s most spectacular treasures.
Scarab Game – reels one and three are Tall Wilds with reel two spinning once for a win combination to potentially occur.
Cat Game – players get between two and ten Respins, with a Tall Wild covering reel two. Reels one and three then spin with a guaranteed win.
Scorpion Game – the reels keep respinning until a win occurs with the win then combined with a Random Multiplier of between 10x and 30x.
Snake Game – extra Respins are awarded with two to nine Random Wilds covering different reel positions. The Respins keep coming until a winning combo lands.
The rare Golden Relics are powerful and help players discover the game’s biggest wins. There are three types – Mini, Major and Grand – with each bringing its own Win Multiplier of 30x, 100x and 300x respectively.
But the tomb has more to give to those who dare the explore its deepest depths with spectacular Wilds also in play. Again, there are different types of Wild including Standard, Double and Tall, each helping form more win combinations in their own way.
Gold of Egypt is set across three reels and three rows with 9 paylines active in the base game. The RTP is set at 96.06 % and the max win potential is 2120x.
As with all Silverback Gaming slots, it has been certified for launch in core European markets such as Italy and Malta as well as North American markets including Ontario, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Katya Machuganova, Gaming Product & Partnership Manager at Silverback Gaming, said: “Gold of Egypt takes the iconic ancient theme and wraps it around gripping gameplay that will appeal to the most adventurous players.
“Relics and Respins are key to discovering the game’s most valuable treasures, with each Relic triggering a mini-game that promises to get pulses racing as players find themselves going deeper and deeper into the tomb towards the max win potential.
“Gold of Egypt is another strong addition to our portfolio, and we look forward to seeing intrepid players taking it for a spin.”
