After the retirement of Sea the Stars, one of the greatest horses the world, it is apt to take a look at the list of top rated horses who have graced the world over the past 25 years. (Picture: Curlin)

It is intersting to note that the highest rated over the past 25 years was the Dancing Brave by some margin at 141 rated 4 points clear of Peintre Celebre and Generous.

We would like to hear your comments on the great horse over the past 25 years, leave your comment in the comments section below the article.

Note non-European horses were only included from 1995 onwards
