DANEDREAM'S BETFAIR KING GEORGE WIN RATED 122

Danedream's triumph in Saturday's King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes Sponsored by Betfair has been a given a rating of 122 by the Senior British Horseracing Authority handicapper, Phil Smith, six pounds below her runaway Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe victory at Longchamp last October.

The performance of the runner-up, Nathaniel, who was conceding the three pound sex allowance to the star German-trained filly when going down by the narrowest of margins in the Ascot showpiece, has been rated 124 - two pounds less than his win in the race 12 months ago, but the same as he recorded in the Coral-Eclipse two weeks ago.

It is also the same as St Nicholas Abbey's win in the Investec Coronation Cup (he ran to 122 in finishing third on Saturday), Camelot's Investec Derby triumph and the now retired So You Think's Prince of Wales's Stakes victory, so a four-way tie at the top of the Middle Distance Performance of the Season table continues.

Nathaniel's trainer, John Gosden, and jockey, William Buick, made a small gain against Aidan O'Brien and Joseph O'Brien, responsible for St Nicholas Abbey, in the Trainer and Jockey of the Series tables.
