Shadwell's Mostahdaf (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) dominated the G1 Prince of Wales's S. by four lengths at Royal Ascot last month and improved his Longines World's Best Racehorse Ranking (WBRR) from 121 to 128 to sit second behind the 129-ranked Equinox (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}) on the leaderboard, with the latest rankings released by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) on Thursday.

Luxembourg (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) who was second as the favourite in the 10-furlong contest, sits on 123 while Adayar (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) was third home and is weighted on 120.

Following his decisive victory in the G1 St James's Palace S. at Royal Ascot, three-time Group 1 winner Paddington (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}) is up to 125 for his defeat of the classy Emily Upjohn (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) (121), the top-rated female in the world, in the G1 Coral Eclipse S. July 8. Paddington joins Golden Sixty (Aus) (Medaglia d'Oro) and Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse {Aus}), who will fight out Hong Kong Horse of the Year honours, to be announced Friday. Triple Time (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) led home a 1-2 finish for his sire in the G1 Queen Anne S. to open the Royal Meeting and is rated on 121.

A pair of American gallopers are also on the rise after victories on the Belmont S. undercard last month. Cody's Wish (Curlin) improved from 119 to 122 after an impressive win in the GI Hill 'n' Dale Metropolitan H. and is rated joint-best dirt horse in the world with G1 Dubai World Cup hero Ushba Tesoro (Jpn) (Orfevre {Jpn}). Up To The Mark (Not This Time) cemented his status as America's pre-eminent turf horse with an easy tally in the GI Resorts World Casino Manhattan S., for which he was awarded a rating of 121, bettering his effort in the GI Old Forester Bourbon Turf Classic by one pound.

The next edition of the Longines WBRR will be published on Aug. 10.

The latest edition of the Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings (WBRR) were released Thursday, with winners from Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe weekend climbing into prominent positions on the list.

Kyprios (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) ran his seasonal record to six wins from as many appearances with a spectacular performance in the G1 Qatar Prix du Cadran over 4000 metres, where he had some 20 lengths between him and the next-nearest competitor. Also victorious this term in the G1 Gold Cup, G1 Goodwood Cup and G1 Irish St Leger, the 4-year-old was raised from a rating of 120 to 124, equal-seventh with G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Diamond S. hero Pyledriver (GB) (Harbour Watch {Ire}), dual Japanese Group 1 winner Titleholder (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}) and Torquator Tasso (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}).

The latter was beaten narrowly into third in defence of his title in this year's Arc by Kirsten Rausing's outstanding Alpinista (GB) (Frankel {GB}), who is new to the WBRR on a rating of 123 following her narrow success over Vadeni (Fr) (Churchill {Ire}, 125) in the ParisLongchamp feature. Her season also includes victories in the G1 Darley Yorkshire Oaks and G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud.

Courtesy of his towering score in the GI Ricoh Woodbine Mile in Canada last month, Godolphin's Modern Games (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) now sits on 122 as he prepares for Saturday's G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. and a clash with the 3-year-old filly Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}, 121) at Ascot, with a return trip to the Breeders' Cup likely thereafter. 'TDN Rising Star' Taiba (Gun Runner) has also been rated on 122 on the strength of his three-length tally in the GI Pennsylvania Derby last month.

In Australia, Godolphin's Anamoe (Aus) (Street Boss) took the G1 Might and Power S. at Caulfield in Melbourne Oct. 8, adding to his wins in the G1 Winx S. and G1 George Main S. Now rated 121, the homebred is expected to be favoured for the G1 Ladbrokes Cox Plate at Moonee Valley on Saturday week.

'Rising Star' Flightline (Tapit, 139), who continues his build-up to the GI Breeders' Cup Classic Nov. 5; and Baaeed (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}, 135), who swansongs in Saturday's G1 QIPCO British Champions S., remain at the top of the WBRR.
