Guide

A complete guide to the main table above.

Rank
A horse's position in the list, with the most highly rated at number 1. Each horse is ranked once according to its highest rating. Any lesser ratings for the same horse are not ranked.
Rating
A rating represents a weight value in pounds, with higher values given to horses which showed greater ability. It is judged that these weights would equalise the abilities of the horses if carried in a theoretical handicap race. The minimum rating required for inclusion is 115.
Horse
Each horse's name is followed by a suffix (from the IFHA's International Code of Suffixes) which indicates the country foaled.[7]
Age
The age of the horse at the time it achieved its rating. The racing ages of all horses foaled in a particular part of the world increase simultaneously, regardless of the actual date of foaling.[8]
Dates of age increase by location foaled
Northern Hemisphere 1 January
South America 1 July
Australia, New Zealand and South Africa 1 August
Sex
C Colt Ungelded male horse up to four-years-old
F Filly Female horse up to four-years-old
H Horse Ungelded male horse over four-years-old
M Mare Female horse over four-years-old
G Gelding Gelded male horse of any age
Trained
The country where the horse was trained at the time of the rating, abbreviated using the International Code of Suffixes.[7]
Position
The horse's finishing position in the race shown. The actual finishing order can sometimes be amended following an inquiry or a disqualification.
= Dead-heat
Promoted from original finishing position
Relegated from original finishing position
