The first horse racing network learned that the International Federation of Horse Racing Organizations updated the latest ranking of Longines world horses on the evening of August 11, Beijing time. The ranking, which starts on 1 January 2022 and ends on 7 August 2022, lists the top 24 horses in the world, with 33 foals on the list due to the many horses with the same rating.
Baaeed (In) topped the world horse charts for the third consecutive month with 128 points.
On Wednesday, 27 July, at 10:35 p.m., the British Championship Mile Series "Sussex Championship" (First Class, 1609m grass) was held at the Live Racecourse in the United Kingdom, and the horses in the lineup included seven good horses, including the world's one-mile horse king Baaeed (Uk), the French 2,000 Gwynells "Modern Games". In the end, "Victory Qianli" won the championship with the advantage of nearly two horse positions. As its name suggests, the top-of-the-line horse won all the way and performed admirably.
Prior to this, after winning the championship in Yashi Valley, "Katsumi" raised its rating from 125 points to 128 points, continuing to top the world horse rankings. The foal also won the First Class Lockinge Stakes, topped the World Horse Rankings for the first time, and became the world's one-mile king.

Flightline (US) won the first division Met Mile at the Belmont Park Race Track in the United States on July 17, local time, rewriting the score to 127 points. Rise to a unique second place and leave the Australian Horse King's Nature Strip (Australia) behind. The "Green Belt" score remained 126 points this month, dropping to third place.
The "flight" that alarmed the American horse world, won more than ten horse positions in three battles last year, but the foal later had problems with the drill, which affected this year's battle plan.
However, "Flight" made a comeback on The Day of the Bemon Championship last month, and although there were a number of First Class races staged that day, the focus was on the horse that had just returned, and many fans were looking forward to it winning again. As a result, the "flight" lived up to expectations, and won six horse positions in the Mets. It also managed to reach the second place in the World Horse Rankings with an international score of 126 points.

Longines World Horse Ranking (Full Version)
The Longines World Horse Rankings, compiled by the Longines World Horse Ranking Committee and published by the International Federation of Horse Racing Organizations, are equivalent to the ATP rankings of the tennis world, the world rankings of golfers and the football country rankings established by FIFA.
The World Horse Ranking Committee is composed of race evaluators appointed by the International Federation of Horse Racing Organizations from member states on five continents, and the Committee determines the international rating of each horse by assessing the performance of the horses in each scoring period. Each month, the committee evaluates the stage rankings, and at the end of the year, the committee summarizes the annual horse rating ranking to determine the world champion of the year.
