Australian superstar Winx and European standout Cracksman were on Wednesday crowned the 2018 Longines World’s Best Racehorses with an equal rating of 130.

It marked only the second time since the Longines World’s Best Racehorse Award was created in 2013 that there was a tie at the top. In the award’s inaugural year, France’s Treve and Australia’s Black Caviar were joint winners.

Swiss watchmaker Longines and the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) honored the winners during a ceremony at The Landmark hotel in London.

Winx has been in the Top 10 of the Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings since 2015, and she has been the highest rated filly/mare in the world since 2016. In 2018, she claimed overall top honors during a season that culminated in her becoming the only horse in history to win the Ladbrokes Cox Plate four times.

Cracksman secured a signature victory in the QIPCO Champion Stakes on British Champions Day at Ascot. Based in England, Cracksman was campaigned by the same connections as Golden Horn, the 2015 highest rated turf horse in the world. Cracksman’s jockey in 2018 was Frankie Dettori, who was named Longines World’s Best Jockey in 2018 as well as in 2015.

Winx and Cracksman edged U.S. star Accelerate, who ranked third with a rating of 128 and thus was the highest-rated dirt horse in the world.

Accelerate turned in a powerhouse performance in the $1 Million TVG Pacific Classic Stakes, which he won by 12 ½ lengths to earn his 128 rating. Accelerate capped his season with a victory in the Breeders’ Cup Classic in November and will close his career in the Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup on Jan. 26.

Gun Runner, the 2017 Eclipse Award winner as Horse of the Year, closed out his career with a win in the 2018 Pegasus World Cup. He tied for fourth with a 127 rating along with Hong Kong-based Beauty Generation and British-based Roaring Lion, a Kentucky-bred who won four Group 1 races in 2018 before an unplaced finish in his first try on dirt in the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

U.S. Triple Crown winner Justify and Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf heroine Enable tied for eighth with a rating of 125.

Also honored during the ceremony as the 2018 Longines World’s Best Horse Race was the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, winning for the third time, with a rating of 125.
