Thanks for the info: i will be watching the great Enable!!!

Enable wins in a romp, wire to wire, Frankie had her open up in the final furlong or 2 to really get her moving and set for the Arc. I just hope it’s enough the Arc will be tough this year!

Gosden very happy with her race, says she’ll be ready for The Arc

Ghaiyyath atop world rankings with a 130- I am curious why Enable has "only"  a 125---- how do they arrive at these figures?

The ratings are based on the performance of horses in elite races held during the designated period which takes in account the quality of opposition and achievements of each horse. The annual rankings denote the champions in the various distance categories for example sprint or mile, surface either turf or dirt/artificial and also the fillies & mares category.

Thanks for the link --very informative

Although it doesn’t tell you actually HOW they figure. And to me, very subjective in their minds as to what they think the quality of each horse in a race?

it isn't real clear how they arrive at those figures but at least i understand some of the elements used to arrive at that number

Girls rule! Magical wins the Irish Championship!

 Exciting race won by Magical!!!!  she was brilliant-
