Bob Baffert's Kentucky Derby winner War Emblem is the top-rated American three-year-old on 124, while Terry Mills' Where Or When, winner of the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, is the highest-rated British-trained horse on 123.
Marienbard, who won the Arc on his last start before being retired, is rated 127 to earn the mantle of top older horse.
