Eras Horse Racing Thread

Petah, the horse racing thread is here.

The Hexastalian Horse Racing Authority (Folyan: Hexsztaliai Lóverseny Hatóság, HLH) is the governing body of horse racing in Hexastalia, responsible for flat races, steeplechasing, and harness racing. Its functions include race planning, disciplinary procedures, protecting the sport’s integrity, licensing and registering race participants, setting and enforcing standards for race participants, setting and enforcing standards for racing venues, ensuring the welfare of both horses and their staff, promoting the sport, recruiting and training new staff in the sport, and grading races.

Hexastalia currently has 36 major racecourses licensed by HLH. It is responsible for the governance of 320 events per year. Flat racing is most popular, with 155 HLH administered races every year: 14 Grade 1 races, 15 Grade 2 races, 45 Grade 3 races, and 81 Listed (below G3) races. Steeplechase sees 100 events administered by HLH every year, followed by Harness Racing with 50 and Endurance Racing with 15.

Here's a spreadsheet for all of Hexastalia's graded races. If I added the listed races, I would have to name 81 more events and 24 more racing venues, and honestly, I think I'm good.


The Hexastalian Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing is the highest achievement in Hexastalia's horse racing scene. It consists of winning the Káprázatos Cup, Central Stakes, and Hexastalian Derby back to back to back. These races are all Grade 1 events, the highest possible ranking in Hexastalia. They are only open to male horses that are three years of age. The last winner of the Triple Crown was Tempestuous in 2018.
