On Tuesday, the elite of the racing world met in London, marking the 10th time that Longines and the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities have honored the top Thoroughbred racehorses of the previous year, during a ceremony that also crowned the Longines World's Best Horse Race for the eighth time.


During an event held at Banqueting House, which is one of the Historic Royal Palaces, it was announced Flightline had earned the title of 2022 Longines World's Best Racehorse with a historic rating of 140.

This mark equals Frankel's benchmark rating set in 2012 under the current system. Additionally, the Longines Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) was honored
as the Longines World's Best Horse Race with a rating of 126.75.
