Quote:
Ruler Of The World has been given the lowest rating of any Investec Derby winner this century by the British Horseracing Authority's senior handicapper.
Phil Smith has given Aidan O'Brien's unbeaten colt a figure of just 120 following his defeat of Libertarian, although he admits he has the potential to improve it.
He was similarly dismissive of Oaks winner Talent, rated 114 and above only Casual Look and Was at this stage.
Smith said in his BHA blog: "I have Libertarian on 117 as he has basically run to the same level as Battle Of Marengo, and that is what I had him running to on both of his starts this year.
