Best performance in the Juddmonte International this century

Frankel (Timeform performance rating 143) - 2012

Frankel put up the best performance in Timeform's history when winning the 2012 Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot and he delivered another scintillating display in the Juddmonte International at York's Ebor meeting.

Frankel, tackling a trip beyond a mile for the first time, cruised into the lead two furlongs out and unleashed his customary burst to draw seven lengths clear of Farhh and St Nicholas Abbey, proving in a completely different league to a couple of high-class rivals.

Best performance in the Yorkshire Oaks this century

Enable (Timeform performance rating 129) - 2019

Enable didn't face a simple task in the 2019 Yorkshire Oaks as she was up against a high-class filly in Magical, but she produced an authoritative performance to brush aside her old rival.

Frankie Dettori, opting to keep things simple, sent Enable straight to the head of affairs and she travelled best of all before quickly asserting when briefly tackled over a furlong out, pulling two and three-quarter lengths clear.

That victory extended Enable's winning sequence to 12 but it would prove to be 'unlucky 13' when she came up just short in her bid to win a third Arc.

Best performance in the Nunthorpe this century

Battaash (Timeform performance rating 136) - 2019

Battaash had disappointed in the Nunthorpe on a couple of occasions but he set the record straight in style in 2019, running right up to his best to score by three and three-quarter lengths.

Battaash lowered Dayjur's long-standing track record and he earned a Timeform rating of 136, which is the joint-highest (along with Cracksman) since the days of Frankel.
