5 THE HORSES LEADING HORSES THE HORSES LEADING HORSES LONGINES IFHA S WORLD S BEST RACEHORSE RANKINGS 2013 ANGLO-IRISH JUMPS CLASSIFICATION 2013/14 YEAR OF THE FILLIES AND MARES Silviniaco Conti reigns supreme Black Caviar (AUS) [130] and Treve (FR) [130] jointly topped the year-end 2013 Longines World s Best Racehorse Rankings, published by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities on 6 December Black Caviar continued her domination of Australian sprinting in 2013, lengthening her unbeaten streak to 25 in the T.J. Smith Stakes (1200m) at Randwick in April and winning all three of her starts in her farewell season. She also became the first Southern Hemisphere horse to top the rankings. Black Caviar shared that top-spot with the remarkable French filly Treve. Treve s best performance came in the Prix de L arc de Triomphe at Longchamp where she took apart a top-class field by a staggering five lengths, with Orfevre back in second. An outstanding eight length victory in the G1 ArimaKinen (Grand Prix) on 22 December 2013 by Orfevre (JPN) vaulted the top Japanese runner to a rating of 129, tying him with Wise Dan (USA) [129] as the co-third rated horses in the world for Of the top ten rated horses in the World, two were trained in Great Britain, both under the tutelage of trainer Richard Hannon. BLACK CAVIAR (AUS) RANK 1 RATING 130 TRAINED AUS TREVE (FR) RANK 1 RATING 130 TRAINED FR Silviniaco Conti, trained by Paul Nicholls, was named as the highest rated Chaser in Britain and Ireland in 2013/14. The handicappers allocated him a mark of 174 for his memorable victory in the William Hill King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day when he wore down the Betfair Chase winner Cue Card [172] in a thrilling contest. He also went on to win the Betfred Bowl at Aintree later in the season. In the 15 years of the classifications, Silviniaco Conti ranks at 12th equal among the 3 Mile champion Chasers alongside Looks Like Trouble and See More Business. In the 2 1/2 Mile Chase category the two wide-margin victories by Captain Chris [169] at Kempton and Ascot in January and February were adjudged to be the best performances. However, the most consistent performer at the top level was the 2 Mile champion Chaser, Sire De Grugy [172]. He ran no fewer than seven times, winning on six occasions four of which were at Grade 1 level. It will be interesting in 2014/15 to see how he measures up to Sprinter Sacre, the 2012/13 toprated Chaser and second-highest rated horses in Anglo-Irish Jump Classifications. Silviniaco Conti CHAMPION 3 MILE CHASER RATING 174 TRAINED GB 2013 will long be remembered for two very special undefeated racehorses in BLACK CAVIAR and TREVE. The 2013 LONGINES WORLD S BEST RACEHORSE RANKINGS also marks the first time in official rankings history that the top two racehorses in the world are female.

The initiative is helping improve the understanding of the care given to our horses throughout and after their careers in racing. The campaign is supported by the British Horseracing Authority, the Racecourse Association, Racehorse Owners Association, the Professional Jockeys Association, the National Trainers Federation and The Jockey Club. This campaign will help to ensure that everyone understands the importance we all place on horse welfare. We have a great story to tell and this campaign will help us to share it. Paul Bittar, BHA Chief Executive Did you know? Among a population estimated to be around 1 million, racehorses in Britain are among the healthiest and best looked after 2% of horses in the country. The sport employs over 6,000 people to provide constant care and attention for the 14,000 horses in training, providing them with a level of care and a quality of life that is virtually unsurpassed by any other domesticated animal. British Racing is committed to providing the best possible standards of veterinary care for its horses and has invested, via the Horserace Betting Levy Board, over 25 million since 2000 in Veterinary Research and Education. British Racing is open and transparent about the risks involved. Over the last 15 years, the equine fatality rate in British Racing has fallen by onethird (from 0.3% to 0.2% of runners). In recent years the average number of runners per annum is in excess of 90,000. For more information visit: Retraining of Racehorses Retraining of Racehorses (RoR), founded in 2000, is British Horseracing s official charity for the welfare of horses that have retired from racing. The charity s aims are to raise funds to help support the charitable retraining and rehoming of former racehorses; and to raise the profile of ex-racehorses to promote their versatility for other equestrian disciplines. RoR provides a nationwide programme of competitions specifically for former racehorses and runs workshops, clinics and other educational activities. RoR also organises parades at Racecourses to demonstrate the adaptability of the former racehorse to the general public. RoR supports four retraining centres whose objectives are to re-school and re-home ex-racehorses. These are: Greatwood, HEROS, Moorcroft Racehorse Welfare Centre, and the Thoroughbred Rehabilitation Centre. key stats By the end of November 2013 the total number of horses registered with RoR was 8,680, an annual increase of 20%. 4,700 horses registered to compete in the RoR Series of Competitions, an increase of 17% in one year. RoR s website had over 93,000 visits and 50,000 unique visitors in the last year. A new regional section was launched, and focused social media marketing helped increase visitors to the site.
