Frankel 國際評分 135 分
Australasian-bred horses occupy three of the top 10 places in the latest list of World Thoroughbred Rankings (WTR), which were released on Friday, but Black Caviar has been relegated to number two.
Unbeaten English star Frankel became the highest-rated miler in the seven-year history of the WTR when he lifted his rating to 135 with his five-length win over Canford Cliffs in the recent Group 1 Sussex Stakes (1600m).
That propelled him clear of Peter Moody's wondermare Black Caviar, who had previously shared the top spot with Frankel on 130.
Black Caviar didn't race in the period covered by the latest round of rankings from June 26 to July 31 so she was unable to improve her rating.
Dual Tatts Cox Plate winner and nominee for this year's event So You Think, now trained by Aidan O'Brien in Ireland, occupies sixth position with a rating of 126.
His standout performance was his win in the Group 1 Coral Eclipse Stakes and he is effectively the fourth highest-rated horse in the world, following the retirement of Canford Cliffs on Thursday night and recent passing of Rewilding, who shared third spot with King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Nathaniel on 127.
Superstar Singapore sprinter Rocket Man, a son of Australian stallion Viscount, was just one spot further back with a rating of 125.
Four other Australian-trained horses occupied places in the top 50, headed by the John McNair-trained All Aged Stakes winner Hay List, who shares 12th position with 10 other horses on 122.
In equal 35th position with a rating of 120 are More Joyous and Whobegotyou, the first two home in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes at Caulfield on February 26.
More Joyous has since returned to Sydney to claim the Group 1 Queen Of The Turf, while Whobegotyou won the Group 2 Blamey Stakes at Flemington.
Whobegotyou's Mark Kavanagh-trained stablemate, the now-retired Shocking, retains a rating of 119 (equal 49th) following his Dubai Australian Cup win.
The WTR are compiled by the World Rankings Supervisory Committee and published by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) with the next edition to be published on September 15.
