Ka Ying Rising (Shamexpress) stands firmly on top of the Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings, which were released on Thursday. Given a mark of 128, the Hong Kong Horse of the Year is four pounds clear of his Hong Kong compatriot Romantic Warrior (Acclamation) at 124. Ka Ying Rising has rattled off a record 18-straight wins for a Hong Kong-trained horse, taking the G1 Centenary Sprint Cup over Helios Express (Toronado) (117) earlier this year before his G1 Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup win. Former Hong Kong Horse of the Year Romantic Warrior has won both the G1 Stewards' Cup over Lucky Sweynesse (Sweynesse) (118) and the G1 Hong Kong Gold Cup this term. Third on rankings is dual G1 Saudi Cup hero Forever Young (Real Steel) on 123. When taking his second Saudi Cup in Riyadh, the Japanese Horse of the Year defeated the 121-rated Nysos (Nyquist). Fourth in the rankings is Royal Champion (Shamardal) (122). His main victory in 2026 has been a 4 3/4-length tally over Facteur Cheval (Ribchester) in the G1 Neom Turf Cup. For the complete rankings, please visit the IFHA website.

Juddmonte Farms' Laurel River (Into Mischief–Calm Water, by Empire Maker), a spectacular and record-setting winner of the 2024 G1 Dubai World Cup, has been retired from racing and will begin covering mares at Big Red Farm on the island of Hokkaido in Japan from this season, according to a news item on the nursery's website. A stud fee will be announced in two weeks' time. Trained across his first seven starts by Bob Baffert, the homebred won his maiden in his 3-year-old debut, covering 6 1/2 furlongs in a strong 1:15.66, and was runner-up to The Chosen Vron (Vronsky) in the GIII Laz Barrera Stakes in his next appearance. A towering 11 1/2-length allowance winner when trying a route of ground for the first time in September 2021, the attractive bay returned to take his two starts at four, a daylight victory over a mile followed by an impressive victory in the seven-furlong GII Pat O'Brien Stakes (108 Beyer), earning a fees-paid berth into the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. After being withdrawn from the latter contest on the eve of the race, Laurel River joined the Dubai-based Bhupat Seemar to continue his career in the summer of 2023 and following a ring-rusty return in Group 3 company over 1200 meters in early 2024, ran out a highly impressive winner of the G3 Burj Nahaar, a course-and-distance prep for the G2 Godolphin Mile. To the surprise of many, Laurel River was instead entered in the World Cup, a first try beyond eight furlongs with plenty of questions to answer. Drawn widest in a field of 12, Laurel River came across to head off his rivals passing the post with a circuit to travel, and when Tadhg O'Shea asked for an effort 800 meters from home, Laurel River quickly put a margin on his rivals and strolled home to crush by 8 1/2 lengths (see below), breaking the record previously held by Dubai Millennium (GB) (Seeking the Gold). The vanquished included defending champion Ushba Tesoro (Jpn) (Orfevre {Jpn}) and Senor Buscador (Mineshaft), fresh off his victory in the G1 Saudi Cup. “I'm still coming to terms with what's happened,” Seemar said in the immediate aftermath of the World Cup. Caught on the wire in the 2025 G3 Firebreak Stakes (1600m) when attempting to gear up for a possible Saudi Cup/Dubai World Cup double, Laurel River did not race again that season and time was called on his career this week. He retires with a record of 6-2-0 from 11 starts and earnings of $7,508,798. Laurel River is one of 27 elite-level winners for Into Mischief and is bred on the exact same cross as Juddmonte's GI Kentucky Derby winner and 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Mandaloun. His full-brother Castlewarden is also under the care of Seemar at Meydan and was third in the Listed Dubai Creek Mile last November. Laurel River's first three dams are all daughters of GI Belmont Stakes winners. Granddam Soothing Touch (Touch Gold) was responsible for six winners, including Calm Water's four-time Grade I-winning full-sister Emollient; Hofburg (Tapit), a stakes winner and placed in the GI Florida Derby and Belmont Stakes; and SW & GSP Courtier (Pioneerof the Nile), now a stallion in Brazil. Another of Soothing Touch's offspring, Cardamon (Pioneerof the Nile), produced 2025 GIII Mahony Stakes winner Spiced Up (Quality Road). Third dam Glia (A.P. Indy), a stakes winner in France and America, descends from the family of G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner and Japanese stallion Bago (Fr) (Nashwan) and the influential Northern Dancer and Machiavellian. Big Red Farm was also the stallion home of 2005 World Cup winner Roses In May.

Caravel (Mizzen Mast–Zeezee Zoomzoom, by Congrats), who is owned by John Stewart's Resolute Bloodstock, lost her Frankel colt due to complications with her pregnancy, according to a tweet on X by the owner early on Thursday morning. In the post Stewart said, “It It is with great sadness that we report that Breeders' Cup champion Caravel lost her 2026 FRANKEL colt due to complications with her pregnancy. It was a freak issue that could not have been avoided. The Resolute farm team monitors all the mares very closely.” On X Stewart also reported that Caravel will visit Not This Time during the current breeding season. A nearly $2-million earner and winner of the GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint during her racing career, Caravel was purchased by Resolute in a private sale in 2024 and sent to Frankel (GB) for the following term. The result was a 2025 April colt who Stewart owns with Sheikh Fahad Al-Thani.
