The Hong Kong-based gelding did not race during the third period of recordkeeping by Longines but is currently on a 20-race winning streak.

U.S.-based Nysos, who won the Hill ‘n’ Dale Metropolitan Handicap by four lengths June 6 at Saratoga Race Course, is tied for fifth overall in the Longines rankings at 125 with Europe-based Notable Speech and Ombudsman, both of which are scheduled to race next week at Royal Ascot.

Oaklawn Handicap winner White Abarrio, set to return in the Stephen Foster Stakes June 27 at Churchill Downs, is the next highest U.S.-based racehorse, tied for eighth with a 124 Longines rating.
