The latest standings in the Cartier Horse Of The Year table sees Aidan O'Brien's triple Group 1 winner Winter (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) at the head of affairs with 116 points, 12 clear of her nearest pursuer Barney Roy (GB) (Excelebration {Ire}) who has amassed 104 points. The dual Classic winner's total is also enough for her to be comfortably clear in the race to become Cartier 3-Year-Old Filly of the year. Should Winter maintain her advantage in both sectors it would be the second year in succession that O'Brien has scooped both awards with a 3-year-old filly following the crowning of Minding (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the corresponding two categories last year. This Saturday's G1 Darley July Cup could shake up the leader board in the Cartier Sprinter category. Caravaggio (Scat Daddy) currently shows the way with 40 points, but is followed closely by Harry Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) on 36 points with 'TDN Rising Star' Lady Aurelia (Scat Daddy), Tasleet (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) and The Tin Man (GB) (Equiano {Fr}) each with 32 points.
