Tin Pan Alley is in joint 15th position on the latest Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings together with a host of other horses, including the Australia-based unbeaten daughter of Via Africa, Autumn Glow
The Sean Tarry-trained Tin Pan Alley’s performance in the Gr 1 HF Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes has been rated the equal of Autumn Glow’s best performance so far this year.
Autumn Glow (The Autumn Sun) is a daughter of former Equus Champion Sprinter Via Africa (Var) and is unbeaten in nine career starts.
Tin Pan Alley won the Horse Chestnut by 3,75 lengths, beating the three-time Gr 1-winning WSB Met winner See It Again, and the rating committee were clearly impressed.
