The International Federation of Horseracing Authorities assigned Pastorius, winner of the 2012 German Derby, a WTR of 122 in the 2012 World Thoroughbred Rankings. With this, Pastorius is the highest-ranking three-year-old European over the middle distance.
As a result, in 2012, Pastorius holds the position of world champion on turf in the category of three-year-old middle-distance horses just ahead of the half-brother of the Australian super mare Black Caviar, All Too Hard (121), the Japanese Fenomeno and the Aga Khan fillies, Ridasiyna and Valyra, who were both rated at 120. |
