The two-year-old's emphatic success in the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket last month was given a rating of 125 by Timeform
Aidan O'Brien's City of Troy has the potential to match the heights of the legendary Frankel according to the latest ratings.This huge rating has been only beaten in recent years by Frankel's victory in the same race in 2010.The Justify gelding out of a Galileo mare is regally bred and was flawless in winning his three starts as a two-year-old.
Simon Baker, Timeform’s two-year-old handicapper, said: “City of Troy’s Dewhurst win was the best performance in the race since Frankel, and while we could wait a lifetime and not see anything in that league again, there can be no doubt that City of Troy is a tremendous prospect in his own right. He is rated 1lb higher than the peak figure that fellow Japanese superstar Deep Impact achieved during his career.
