News Racing Dudes Divisional Rankings 7/1/15 July 1, 2015 News Racing Dudes Divisional Rankings 7/1/15 July 1, 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. Honor Code – He has limitations, but as a deep closer running at middle distances he’s been amazing. 4. Noble Bird – Ran a terrace race in the Stephen Foster to hold off a fairly sharp effort from Lea. Could be a rising star in the division. 5. Tonalist – Has two solid efforts to start off the year, and runs this weekend in the Suburban. A win could move him up this list. 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 to the track 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: Texas Red – Don’t forget about this talented individual. Returns this weekend in the Dwyer Stakes! 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 – Runs this weekend in the Belmont Oaks against a competitive field. Can a turf filly overtake successful dirt horses? 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: Include Betty – Mother Goose effort was visually impressive, but none of the top horses in this group were there. Sprinters 1. Secret Circle – Awesome win in Dubai…horse is a warrior. 2. Salutos Amigos – Stellar comeback tells me he’s ready for a huge summer campaign. 3.. Masochistic – Simply awesome performance in the Triple Bend at Santa Anita. Ran a solid field off their feet. 4. Work All Week – Defeated in his comeback effort…his first 6 furlong dirt loss. Better be ready to go next time as this group seems to be loaded. 5. Private Zone – He keeps moving down the list while doing nothing wrong. Sleeper: Alsvid – Knocked out of the top 5 by a great performance from Masochistic, but still should be one you don’t forget about.
