Frankel and Caviar best in the world

NEWMARKET 2000 Guineas winner Frankel and unbeaten Australian sprinter Black Caviar have been ranked the joint-best racehorses in the world this year.

The Henry Cecil-trained Frankel earned an official mark of 130 for his Newmarket demolition of a Classic field that included subsequent Irish 2000 Guineas winner Roderic O’Connor and runner-up Dubawi Gold.

The Peter Moody-trained Black Caviar, who recently stretched her unbeaten record to 13 (making it six Group 1 victories on the bounce) was awarded the same figure for her win in the Newmarket Handicap at Flemington on March 12.
