News Racing Dudes Divisional Rankings 9/22/15 September 22, 2015 News Racing Dudes Divisional Rankings 9/22/15 September 22, 2015 By: Aaron Halterman twitterfacebooklinkedinemail Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article Older Males 1. Honor Code – Two huge Grade 1 wins in a row against tough fields! He’s earned the top spot and proved he can go two turns now. 2. Liam’s Map – Wire to wire win easily in the Woodward Stakes combined with a nose loss to the top horse in the Whitney makes him an easy selection for the second best horse in the division. 3. Shared Belief – It doesn’t look like he’ll be back in 2015 which is a real shame. 4. California Chrome – Out for the rest of the year, but his future could be bright in 2016. 5. Tonalist – He is what he is…a very good horse that just hasn’t quite been good enough to take home a big time race this year. Consistent on the board finisher. Sleeper: The Pizza Man – How cool is this horse? Won the Arlington Million in his own back yard as the local crowd went crazy. Older Females 1. Beholder – She locked up this division with a performance in the Pacific Classic that was almost too good to believe! 2. Sheer Drama – She’s a clear second best now in a division that is just lacking in talent after Beholder. 3. Wedding Toast – We haven’t seen her since her impressive win on Belmont Stakes day…not looking good that we’ll see her again this year. 4. Stopchargingmaria – Finally ran a bad race at the Spa, and we know she’s not great. However, the resume is still solid. 5. Untapable – Not even close to the same filly as last year as we’ve seen it time and time again now. Sleeper: Got Lucky – Don’t look for her to be a world beater, but she’s running tough right now. 3 Year Old Males 1. American Pharoah – A shocking defeat in the Travers Stakes, however he’s still best in this division by a mile. 2. Frosted – Huge for him to get back into the winners circle in the Pennsylvania Derby. His body of work puts him clearly second best in the division. 3. Keen Ice – Beat the Triple Crown winner and could be the most improved horse in racing. 4. Dortmund – Is training very well with the first big goal being the Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs. 5. Firing Line – It’s odd to put him back into the rankings WITHOUT running a race, but nobody else is stepping up right now. Sleeper: Runhappy – Might want to track this horse from here on out. HUGE effort in the King’s Bishop to beat a great field. Could be a rising superstar. 3 Year Old Female 1. Lady Eli – An amazing performance as she destroyed the field in the Belmont Oaks. Terrible news that she now has laminitis…future is in question although the prognosis is getting better. 2. I’m a Chatterbox – Big win in the Cotillion CLEARY makes her second best in this division going into the Breeders Cup. 3. Curalina – Flattened out some in the Alabama Stakes…might be better going shorter. 4. Lovely Maria – Still has that Kentucky Oaks win to her credit, but isn’t anywhere near that form now. 5. Stellar Wind – Might be facing older horses next at Santa Anita as she preps for the Breeders Cup. Sleeper: Calamity Katie – Back to back solid efforts have me thinking she could be a rising star in the division.
