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. Shared Belief – It doesn’t look like he’ll be back in 2015 which is a real shame. 3. California Chrome – Out for the rest of the year, but his future could be bright in 2016. 4. Liam’s Map – An incredible performance in the Whitney and some will argue it should have been a winning effort. Huge talent who might be perfect at a mile. 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: Coach Inge – Scratched in the Whitney in favor for a spot in either the Pacific Classic or Woodward Stakes. Older Females 1. Beholder – Wow she is MUCH THE BEST in this division right now. 2. Stopchargingmaria – Took care of Untapable while winning the Shuvee Handicap at Saratoga. 3. Wedding Toast – We haven’t seen her since her impressive win on Belmont Stakes day. 4. Sheer Drama – Turned the tables on Frivolous last time in the Delaware Handicap. Might be ready to make some noise. 5. Untapable – Still running decent races however its painfully clear she’s not the same horse right now. Sleeper: La Verdad – Her sprinting ability is better than any filly right now. 3 Year Old Males 1. American Pharoah – Won the Haskell by simply jogging around the track. 2. Dortmund – Was undefeated coming into the Triple Crown races, and didn’t embarrass himself in either race. Has returned to the workout tab. 3. Frosted – Was narrowly defeated by Texas Red in the Jim Dandy, but his body of work is still a little better. Could turn the tables in the Travers 4. Texas Red – Big performance in the Travers signals that he’s back to full strength and ready to roll. 5. Keen Ice – Looks to be getting better and better, but unfortunately ran into American Pharoah the last three races. Sleeper: Upstart – His Haskell performance wasn’t bad, and gives him something to build on. 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. 2. I’m a Chatterbox – She hit the wire first in the Coaching Club American Oaks, but was DQ’d in what was a questionable call. Her body of work is just a little stronger than Curalina right now. 3. Curalina – Got the win in the Coaching Club American Oaks by DQ over I’m a Chatterbox which makes her a dual Grade 1 winner. Sky is the limit for this one. 4. Lovely Maria – The Kentucky Oaks still gives her a big boost and she can pass Curalina and I’m a Chatterbox with a win over them this summer. However, her Delaware Oaks effort was not good. 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 – Solid effort to finish third in the Coaching Club American Oaks…keeps proving she’s solid. Sprinters 1. Secret Circle – Awesome win in Dubai…horse is a warrior. 2. Rock Fall – Stepped up in competition and passed the test with flying colors. Becoming a top notch sprinter. 3. Private Zone – Super consistent…brings his front running speed every single time. 4. Masochistic – Simply awesome performance in the Triple Bend at Santa Anita, and ran another good race in the Bing Crosby. 5. Work All Week – Not moving him up the rankings because he won such an easy race…but it looks like he’s BACK. Sleeper: Wild Dude – Like previously stated…when at his best he can beat anyone.
