The 900 Club

There are now only six horses in history to have recorded an EquiRatings Elo above 900.

The latest to join the club? London 52.

On this episode, Nicole Brown and Sam Watson break down what the 900 Club actually means, why London 52's consistency is almost unmatched in modern eventing, and how his recent performances compare to some of the greatest horses the sport has ever seen.

From Le Lion d'Angers to Blenheim, Bicton, Badminton, and Belsay, the pair look back on the performances that built London 52's remarkable Elo, and why Sam believes he could already be even higher on the all-time list.

Plus, where do horses like JL Dublin, Lordships Graffalo, and fischerChipmunk FRH fit into the picture, and could we one day see the sport's first ever 1000-rated horse?
