THREE VIP HORSES MAKE WORLD'S TOP 50

Three VIP Thoroughbreds managed horses, Jay Peg, Linngari and Sushisan have made the latest list of the world's top 50 ranked horses.

The ranking is dominated by Curlin but it is a success for the syndicate that is VIP.

Top of the pile in terms of the stable is Jay Peg, the winner of the Dubai Duty Free. He is listed at rank number 14 with a rating of 120. Linngari (119) is ranked joint 23rd. Sushisan is ranked joint 31st in the world with a rating of 118. All horses are trained by Herman Brown.

CURLIN (USA) (130) has retained the mantle of top ranked racehorse in the world which covers the period 1st Nov 2007 to 4th May 2008.

 His impressive romp in the Dubai World Cup (G1) (Sponsored by Emirates Airlines) remains the outstanding performance in the last World in the past six months as rated by a panel of handicappers/racing secretaries affiliated to the IFHA (International Federation of HorseRacing Authorities). He does however now face stiff new competition for that crown in the form of BIG BROWN (USA) (126) who defied history on a number of counts in trouncing his rivals on only his fourth career start in the Kentucky Derby (G1) (Presented by Yum Brands) and the prospect of an eventual clash between these two protagonists is one to whet the appetite of all race fans.
