As a priority, the following races have been determined to have achieved the criteria and will be recognised as a Group 1:
 

THE EVEREST
THE ALL STAR MILE
 

The All Star Mile and The Everest race upgrades have been ratified internationally.

Whilst these upgrades will take immediate effect, further analysis and review of all black type races is being undertaken with the expectation that further announcements will be made in the near future.
