No Bill it's not. There are a couple different ways of doing this.
In simple terms:
a. 65 horses
b. highest value is 100
c. 100 divided by 65= 1.538 value of each horse
d. value 1.538 times (X) number of horses beat which is 59 = 90.742 or rounded is 91
the actual value is 1.538461538461538 X 59 = 90.7969 rounded is 91 I actually use this as it saves a move cutting it down for simple understanding. Note different calculators will vary very slightly which is insignificant.
Another way of doing it this and simpler is: 65 horses and it beat 59, therefore 59 divided by 65 = 90.769 or rounded = 91
Note this one is a must it more than 100 horses worked. I.e. 6/130
