Longines WBRR | Horse Racing Free Tips

Shadwell's Baaeed (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) remains the world's top-rated racehorse according to the most recent edition of the Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings which were published Thursday.

The homebred colt, trained by William Haggas, has built on a perfect six-race 3-year-old campaign with a trio of additional victories on the trot this term, including the G1 Lockinge S. at Newbury in May, the G1 Queen Anne S. at Royal Ascot in June and a facile defeat of Modern Games (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in the G1 Qatar Sussex S. at Glorious Goodwood July 27. He remains on a rating of 128 and is expected to stretch out in trip for next week's G1 Juddmonte International S. at York.

Pyledriver (GB) (Harbour Watch {Ire}) has leapt into a share of fifth position with Japan's G1 Tenno Sho (Spring) and Takarazuka Kinen hero Titleholder (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}) on a rating of 124 achieved courtesy of his outstanding success in the G1 King George & Queen Elizabeth Diamond S., where he had reigning G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe victor Torquator Tasso (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) some 2 3/4 lengths behind in second. The King George 1-2 could face a rematch at ParisLongchamp on the first weekend of October.

One spot ahead of Pyledriver in fourth is 'TDN Rising Star' Life Is Good (Into Mischief), who added a third Grade I to his CV with a front-running tally in the GI Whitney S. at Saratoga Aug. 6. The 4-year-old now sits on a rating of 125, having been awarded a 124 for his GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational win in January.

Fellow 'Rising Star' Flightline (Tapit) remains the world's top-ranked dirt galloper on 127 and is scheduled to put his own unbeaten mark on the line in the GI TVG Pacific Classic at Del Mar Sept. 3.

American champion sprinter Jackie's Warrior (Maclean's Music) moves to 122 (from 121) following his romping success in the GI A. G. Vanderbilt H. at Saratoga, while Kyprios (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) joins the top 10 following his pulsating victory over Stradivarius (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in the G1 Goodwood Cup July 26.

The next edition of the Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings will be published Sept. 15.

On the heels of his front-running, 2 3/4-length defeat of Medina Spirit (Protonico) in the Nov. 6 GI Longines Breeders' Cup Classic at Del Mar, Korea Racing Authority's Knicks Go (Paynter) has been assigned a rating of 128 and sits atop the latest edition of the Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings (WBRR).

With his victory in the $6-million centerpiece of Breeders' Cup weekend, the 5-year-old improved on his previous best ranking of 124. Knicks Go ranks one point higher than the trio of G1 Investec Derby/G1 King George & Queen Elizabeth S. hero Adayar (Ire) (Frankel {GB}); Misriff (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}), winner of the G1 Longines Dubai Sheema Classic and G1 Juddmonte International S.; and the recently retired Cartier Horse of the Year St Marks Basilica (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), whose four Group 1 wins in 2021 include a latest defeat of Tarnawa (Ire) (Shamardal, 120) in the G1 Irish Champion S. at Leopardstown in September.

Baaeed (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) moved into a tie for seventh on a rating of 124 after carrying his unbeaten streak to six with a neck defeat of Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}, 125) in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. on British Champions weekend at Ascot Oct. 16. The 3-year-old shares that position with the world's top-rated sprinter and reigning Australian Horse of the Year Nature Strip (Aus) (Nicconi {Aus}), who took the lucrative The Everest at Randwick Oct. 16 ahead of a dominating 3 1/4-length success in the G1 Darley Sprint Classic at Flemington Nov. 6.

Sealiway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}) has been given a rating of 123 for his gritty victory in the G1 QIPCO British Champion S., where he defeated 3-year-old Dubai Honour (Ire) (Pride of Dubai {Aus}) by three-quarters of a length. The latter is also ranked for the first time, having been given 121 for his Ascot efforts.

Also ranked for the first time is 'TDN Rising Star' Life Is Good (Into Mischief), who thrashed his rivals in the GI Big Ass Fans Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile last Saturday and was given a rating of 123. His previous best was 120.

Efforia (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}), this year's G1 Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas) hero, improved his rating to 123 from 120 following his success in the G1 Tenno Sho (Autumn) at Tokyo Oct. 31 where he had 2020 Triple Crown winner Contrail (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), 121) and Gran Alegria (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), 121) immediately in his wake.

In Australia, Verry Elleegant (NZ) (Zed {NZ}) has been assigned a rating of 122 for her four-length victory over Incentivise (Aus) (Shamus Award {Aus}) in the G1 Lexus Melbourne Cup, while State of Rest (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) sits on 120 after his win in the G1 Ladbrokes Cox Plate Oct. 31.
