ANGLO-IRISH NATIONAL HUNT CLASSIFICATIONS 2006-2007
This is the eighth full Anglo-Irish National Hunt Classification. It classifies the best steeplechasers and hurdlers that were trained in either Britain or Ireland or that ran in Britain or Ireland during the 2006-2007 season. Thus it contains French trained horses where their performances in Britain or Ireland merited their inclusion.
It is not a handicap but a retrospective measurement of the best sustainable performances during the recent season. The Classifications include races up to and including 28 April.
The Classifications are for all chasers and hurdlers down to a rating of 140, with the same for Novices. The steeplechasers are divided into distance categories of 2 miles, 2½ miles and 3 miles plus, and are included in the list in which category the handicappers believe they have put up their best performance. The hurdle categories are similar except that they are divided into two distances of 2 miles and 2½ miles plus. Juvenile Hurdlers are included in the Novice section.

WORLD THOROUGHBRED RACEHORSE RANKINGS 2006
The fifth World Thoroughbred Racehorse Rankings (WTRR) Conference took place in Hong Kong in December 2006. The Conference was held under the auspices of the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA), and followed on from the initial WTRR Conference held in Hong Kong in December 2004, the 2004/5 Conference, in Singapore in July 2005, the 2005 Conference in Hong Kong and the 2005/06 Conference in London.
The IFHA World Thoroughbred Racehorse Rankings are the official end of season assessment of the top performers. In 1977, France, Great Britain and Ireland published the first internationally agreed assessment of racing merit on behalf of the European Pattern Committee under the banner of the International Classifications. In 1985, Germany and Italy joined the system, to be followed by North America (both Canada and the United States) and Japan in the mid 1990s. The International Classifications continued to expand, with more and more countries becoming involved. During 2003, responsibility for the Classifications was transferred from the European Pattern Committee to the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities, and the inaugural WTRR Conference (Hong Kong, December 2004) was attended by delegates from Argentina, Australia, Hong Kong, Macau, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates, in addition to those from the eight countries who were first involved.
The World Thoroughbred Racehorse Rankings (WTRR) are published twice a year, after each WTRR Conference, and reflect the overall ability of those horses included. The January publication includes the end of season assessments of horses aged three years old and upwards which have either raced in, or been trained in, countries whose racing season runs from 1st January to 31st December, while the August edition incorporates those horses which have raced in or been trained in countries who race from 1st August to 31st July (1st July to 30th June in South America). To merit inclusion, a horse must be assessed at a rating of 115 or higher by the Conference on its performances during the period under review.
The Rankings are published on the IFHA website (www.IFHAOnline.org).
In addition, a list of the World’s Leading Horses will be published seven times in 2007 to give updates on the leading performers worldwide. The 2006 WTRR Conference compiled the latest edition of the World’s Leading Horses, comprising horses which had raced anywhere in the world in the second half of 2006, and this list will be published on 24th January.
