Of the 45 horses that made a minimum 12 starts in competitions that met the criteria for inclusion, only 17 had at least one win. One additional horse was a member of a winning nations cup team, but had no individual wins. Cordoba (Kim Farlinger) had two wins but one was under an American rider, therefore did not qualify for inclusion. Ole and In Style had four wins each, despite each being out-of-action for half the season.
