AS the end of May approaches, the overall picture of the various rankings’ races starts to take shape.

The World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH) released the first update of their rankings calendar season (October through October) at the end of April. Within this timeframe, the impact of the World Cup finals in Fort Worth, Doha and Wellington’s major show jumping classes and the first of the CCI5* events - Adelaide and Kentucky - had a strong influence in these early rankings’ results.
