Game On Dude Can Still Make Some Noise in the Clark Handicap
Game On Dude Can Still Make Some Noise in the Clark Handicap

Older Males

1. Wise Dan – With the flop of the Game On Dude, and his dramatic stretch run, he now sits atop the rankings.

2. Mucho Macho Man – When running at Santa Anita he’s at a different level.  Breeders Cup Classic winner proved to be much better than his older rivals.

3. Game On Dude – Will look to redeem himself on Black Friday in the Clark Handicap.

4. Cross Traffic – It’s too bad he got injured as I think he was on his way to huge things.

5. Fort Larned – What a strange year for the 2012 Classic winner.  Still ran well in this years version.

Sleeper: Declaration of War – He’s plenty good, but will we see him back in America once again?

Older Females

1. Royal Delta – She wins this by default, but the champ is probably done.  The division was a bit weak this year, but the infusion of good three-year olds will boost it next year.

2. Tiz Miz Sue – Absolutely sickening that she had to be retired.  Was running better than ever.

3. Authenticity – Solid run in the Distaff, but never really threatened to win.

4. Joyful Victory – Never was quite good enough to beat the top-notch horses, but still a solid horse.

5. On Fire Baby – Still have hopes that she’ll come back firing

Sleeper: My Miss Aurelia – Has been transferred to Todd Pletcher.  Interesting move, will it pay off?

3 Year Old Males

1. Will Take Charge – He’ll look to lock up the division in the Clark Handicap vs. Game On Dude

2. Palace Malice – He sort of fell off towards the end of this season, but still was respectable.  Could be a nice colt at age four.

3. Orb – Never could recapture his Kentucky Derby form.

4. Goldencents – Can definitely move up with a win in the Cigar Mile over Groupie Doll and others.

5. Oxbow – Nice career for him, but his injury put him out of contention for three-year old honors.

Sleeper: Normandy Invasion – Lets see if this colt comes back running at age 4…

3 Year Old Females

1. Beholder – She won the Distaff which evened the score with Princess of Sylmar

2. Princess of Sylmar – Absolutely hate ranking her second, but I think you have to do so.

3. Close Hatches – Her late season heroics are enough to move her up the third.

4.  Midnight Lucky – Unfortunately she will miss the rest of the year, which will cause her to drop some.

5. Fiftyshadesofhay – Respectable horse, but a cut below this groups best.

Sleeper: Dreaming of Julia – What ever happened to her??

Sprinters

1. Secret Circle – Super impressive in his huge comeback!  Tops a weak division.

2.  Groupie Doll – Was totally against her in the Filly and Mare Sprint…she made me looks stupid.

3.  Justin Phillip – Was nothing but solid this year.  The old pro retires with nothing to be ashamed about.

4. Points Offthebench – Such a sad story, but he was so good this year.

5. Gentleman’s Bet – Ran hard in every race, and always finished respectable.

Sleeper: Sahara Sky – Looked to be a monster before the injury.

2 Year Old Males

1. New Year’s Day – He has the top spot for now, but I’m not sold on him just yet.

2. Havana – Thought he was best in the Juvenile.

3. Honor Code – Thought HE was best when facing Havana.  Will run in the Remsen Thanksgiving weekend.

4. Strong Mandate – Tough post killed him in the Juvenile.  Will freshen up for a big three-year old campaign at Oaklawn.

5. Rise Up – The Delta Downs track can sometimes be tricky, but Rise Up was 10 times the best in the Jackpot.

Sleeper: Tap It Rich – He was the hype horse and then the forgotten horse at the Breeders Cup.  He learned a ton in the Juvenile.

2 Year Old Females

1. She’s A Tiger – Think she’s distance challenged, but has accomplished a lot.

2. Sweet Reason – Always seems to have an excuse, but has been right there in every race.

3. Ria Antonia – Not sold on her yet, needed a DQ to win the Juvenile fillies.

4. Rosalind – Thought she was best in the Juvenile Fillies…

5. My Conquestadory – Outside post killed her in the Juvenile Fillies Turf, still ran very respectable.

Sleeper: Stopchargingmaria – Mike Repole horse is getting better with every race.
