News Racing Dudes Divisional Rankings June 24, 2015 News Racing Dudes Divisional Rankings June 24, 2015 By: Aaron Halterman twitterfacebooklinkedinemail Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article Older Males 1. Shared Belief – Sadly he’s out for the year with injury. Will surely be overtaken later on even though he’s been the most brilliant of them all. 2. California Chrome – A foot bruise has knocked him out of running at Royal Ascot unfortunately. Hopefully now he returns home and runs in the states the rest of the year. 3. Constitution – Needs to prove he can win outside of Gulfstream, but no denying the strength of his win in the Donn. 4. Honor Code – He has limitations, but as a deep closer running at middle distances he’s been amazing. 5. Noble Bird – Ran a terrific race in the Stephen Foster to hold off a fairly sharp effort from Lea. Could be a rising star in the division. Sleeper: Lea – Has finished behind three of the top five we have ranked, but not by much. If he keeps firing races like that he’ll win. Older Females 1. Beholder – Finally came back this weekend and was tremendous! Really hoping she can stay healthy the rest of the year. 2. Untapable – Doesn’t look to be the same filly as last year, but hopefully Asmussen gets her right. 3. Don’t Tell Sophia – Don’t forget about her! She was last seen finishing second in the Breeders Cup Distaff, and is targeting that race again. 4. Stopchargingmaria – She never is impressive, but she just keeps winning races. No match for the top three though. 5. Wedding Toast – Consistent runner took down Untapable last time out. Sleeper: Frivolous – Just keeps getting better and runs really well at Churchill Downs. Can she run well outside of that track? 3 Year Old Males 1. American Pharoah – “American Pharoah is finally the one. American Pharoah has won the Triple Crown!” 2. Dortmund – Was undefeated coming into the Triple Crown races, and didn’t embarrass himself in either race. 3. Frosted – Would have been a Belmont winner in a good number of other runnings…just born in the same year as a freak! 4. Firing Line – Total disaster in the Preakness. Hopefully he regroups and runs well because he’s shown a lot of talent. 5. Carpe Diem – He may not be quite right at this time, but he’ll get better this summer. Sleeper: Mr. Z – I just put him on here to make people upset! Ohio Derby win pushes his earnings near a million dollars. 3 Year Old Female 1. Lovely Maria – Kentucky Oaks winner deserves the spot for now, but I don’t think there is a large gap between her and the others. 2. I’m a Chatterbox – Owns a win over Lovely Maria, and ran very well in the Kentucky Oaks. Might like a little shorter races in the future. 3. Lady Eli – Another solid race from her as she closed fast to win into a pace less type of race. 4. Curalina – Could be the best filly in the country on dirt after that impressive Acorn win. Now just has to prove it against the Jones filly’s. 5. Stellar Wind – Very courageous effort at Santa Anita to win the Summertime Oaks. Could be ready for a big second half of the year. Sleeper: Stellar Wind – Terrible trip in the Kentucky Oaks and still finished fourth. Might be thinking turf for her next start. Sprinters 1. Secret Circle – Awesome win in Dubai…horse is a warrior. 2. Work All Week – Defeated in his comeback effort…his first 6 furlong dirt loss. 3. Salutos Amigos – May have not won in Dubai, but was running incredible before he went over there. 4. Private Zone – When he runs his best race he’s almost impossible to beat. 5. Alsvid – Always has been classy, and now he’s running even better than ever. Defeated Work All Week in a big way in the Aristides Stakes. Sleeper: Wild Dude – When he brings his “A” game he’s tough.
