The ninth edition of the Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings are out, and recent Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Forever Young and leading U.S. 3-year-old Sovereignty are both rated as the best dirt racehorses in training with a rating of 127.

The pair are tied with Daryz and Field of Gold as the third-highest rated horses in training globally, behind Calandagan in first with a 130 rating and Ombudsman in second with a 128 rating. Those four European-based horses compete on turf. Calandagan defeated Ombudsman by 2 ½ lengths in the QIPCO Champion Stakes last month at Ascot, while Daryz won the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp, also in October. Field of Gold boasts two Group 1 wins on turf in 2025.

Sierra Leone, runner-up to Japan-based Forever Young in the Breeders’ Cup Classic Nov. 1 at Del Mar, is tied with three overseas racehorses in seventh with a 126 rating.
