Older Males

King of the Older Male Division, Curlin!

  1. Curlin- This colt is in a class of his own. Connections are pointing to the Stephen Foster Handicap at Churchill Downs.
  2. Divine Park- Amazing colt is coming into his own. Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin says the Metropolitan Mile is likely his next start.
  3. Heatseeker- The reigning king of the west will seek to stop Lava Man from winning a fourth consecutive Hollywood Gold Cup. Based off of his last romp, I’d say he stands a great chance.
  4. Commentator- Lightly raced 7 year old gelding is still rolling. The Nick Zito trainee is 2 for 3 this year including a monstrous romp in an allowance company at Gulfstream Park, and a Grade II win. His only defeat came against #2 Divine Park in the Met Mile.
  5. Diamond Stripes
  6. Go Between
  7. Student Council
  8. Mast Track
  9. Tiago
  10. Well Armed

3 Year Old Colts

  1. Big Brown-Draw a line through his race in the Belmont. He wasn’t the same horse.
  2. Casino Drive- Regally bred colt will return to the US for the Breeders Cup Classic.
  3. Macho Again- This one “came of age” in the Jim Dandy.
  4. Harlem Rocker- Will seek to stay perfect on the dirt in the Travers.
  5. Pyro
  6. War Pass
  7. Georgie Boy
  8. Colonel John
  9. Da ‘Tara
  10. Tale of Ekati

3 Year Old Fillies

  1. Proud Spell- Her win in the Kentucky Oaks was magnificent, she showed the other girls who the boss is. Likely to dodge top competition from here on out.
  2. Music Note- Gritty loss to Proud Spell in the Alabama doesn’t hurt her eclipse chances.
  3. Zaftig- Went past Indian Blessing like she was standing still in the Acorn.
  4. Pure Clan- The turf may be the right fit for her.
  5. Ginger Brew
  6. Indian Blessing
  7. Ariege
  8. Storm Mesa
  9. Country Star
  10. Golden Doc A

Turf Males

  1. Kip Deville- Last year’s Breeders Cup Mile winner ran well in his return at Keeneland. The throne still belongs to him until someone can take it.
  2. Red Rocks- Former Breeders Cup Turf winner came back with a vengeance in the Man O’ War.
  3. Daytona- This horse is a winning machine, with his latest victory coming in the Shoemaker Mile.
  4. Einstein- The 6 year old has 2 Grade I wins so far this year, including the Woodford Reserver Turf Classic.
  5. Dancing Forever- Gritty win in the Manhattan has me watching him closely.
  6. Better Talk Now
  7. Ever a Friend
  8. Out of Control
  9. Artiste Royal
  10. Champs Elysees

Turf Female

  1. Mauralakana- Set win in the Beverely D sets her apart from the rest.
  2. Precious Kitten- Still one of the best.
  3. Dreaming of Anna-Turned in a valiant effort in the Beverely D.
  4. Ventura- Pulled the mild upset in the Just A Game Stakes.
  5. Wait a While
  6. Rutherienne
  7. Lady of Venice
  8. Dynaforce
  9. Black Mamba
  10. Roshani

Sprinters

  1. Street Boss- I think this colt is the best in a very deep and contentious division.
  2. Benny the Bull- Dutrow has this colt running lights out right now.
  3. Midnight Lute- He is still the Sprint Champ until someone takes it from him.
  4. Fabulous Strike- Awe inspiring in his last start prior to injury in 2007. Look for him to come back in a big way in 2008.
  5. Commentator
  6. Idiot Proof
  7. Lucky Island
  8. J Be K
  9. Thor’s Echo
  10. Barbecue Eddie
