Dias 2 e 3 de janeiro, um sub-comitê do Comitê de Corridas da AQHA se reúne para determinar os CAMPEÕES DE CORRIDA 2023.

Durante esta reunião fechada os participantes analisarão a campanha dos indicados para cada título e escolherão, o Campeão Macho de 2 anos, a campeã fêmea de 2 anos e o campeão castrado de 2 anos. Dentre estes 3 sairá eleito o campeão geral de 2 anos.

O mesmo vai acontecer entre os animais de 3 anos, e entre os AGED HORSES, (animais de 4 ou mais anos).

Será conhecido também o Campeão em distância.

Escolhidos o campeão de 2 anos, de 3 anos, de 4 ou mais anos, sairá o CAMPEÃO MUNDIAL DE CORRIDAS de 2023.

Além disso, será anunciado o Campeão Mexicano e o Campeão Canadense, e pela primeira vez em 15 anos, que não haverá o Campeão Sul Americano, devido ao Cancelamento do AQHA Challenge decidido pela diretoria do Jockey Club de Sorocaba e ABQM em 2023.

Serão nominados também o CRIADOR, PROPRIETÁRIO, JOCKEY e TREINADOR – CAMPEÕES de 2023, e serão reconhecidos em uma Cerimônia no dia 17 de janeiro em Oklahoma City. Títulos de Campeões devem sempre ser muito comemorados, pois é muito difícil ser líder.
