Japan's Forever Young (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}) anchors the first edition of the Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings with a mark of 128.
The Yoshito Yahagi trainee closed to take the G1 Saudi Cup by a neck over the 127-rated Romantic Warrior (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}). The latter had earlier won the G1 Jebel Hatta this year.
Continuing the Hong Kong theme, star sprinter Ka Ying Rising (NZ) (Shamexpress {NZ}) is a co-third in the rankings alongside GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes winner White Abarrio (Race Day), as both are at 124. Both the G1 Centenary Sprint Cup and G1 Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup have gone to the Kiwi-bred speedster. Next on rankings at 123 is GI Santa Anita Handicap hero Locked (Gun Runner), who was second to White Abarrio in the Pegasus.
