Who are the top 100 Flat horses by official rating?

The top 100 ranks British and Irish Flat horses by current official rating, turf and all-weather, with last-run mark and 2026 peak.

Which trip do the top-rated Flat horses race over?

Each horse carries a distance band from five furlongs to 14 furlongs and over, so sprinters, milers and stayers can be picked out with the filter.

Which Flat horses have risen most in the ratings this season?

Rising marks compare each horse's current rating with its first 2026 rating, sorted by the size of the rise in pounds.

Which top-rated Flat horses are declared to run?

Declared runners are marked on the top 100 each morning, so the best horses running in the coming days stand out.

Questions people ask

Which Flat horse has the highest official rating in Britain and Ireland this season?

Ombudsman (IRE) has the highest current Flat rating at 132 at the latest update. The top 100 table ranks every other horse below it.

Why do three-year-olds sometimes jump up the ratings list in the summer?

Three-year-olds are still improving, and each big-race win brings a new assessment from the handicapper. The rising marks table shows the biggest climbers of 2026.

Does a horse keep its rating after it retires to stud?

The rating stays on record, but a horse retired to stud stops appearing among active runners. The retired and moved page records status changes with a source and date.

How often does the top-rated Flat list change during the season?

The list is rechecked every morning, and new marks are published by the handicappers each week. The biggest changes come after the major Group races.
