The problem with cavalry is that the chariots have a nasty tendency to kill any cavalryman that gets close. The factor that drops infantry kills cavalry. So chariots are possibly the best cavalrykillers out there.
The worst case has to be Chariot Archers as they can kill a number of pursuers before turning and butcher them. You have to catch them off guard to get them with cavalry.
