News Racing Dudes Divisional Rankings July 9, 2014 News Racing Dudes Divisional Rankings July 9, 2014 By: Aaron Halterman twitterfacebooklinkedinemail Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article Older Males 1. Palace Malice – Gearing up for a run in the Whitney Handicap on August 2nd. Will Saratoga treat him well once again? 2. Wise Dan – It looks like he’s making a full recovery and will be back to the races this summer. Will he return with the same ability? 3. Moonshine Mullin – The training job by Randy Morse has been nothing short of amazing with Moonshine! Five straight victories including the Grade 1 Stephen Foster. 4. Will Take Charge – His effort in the Stephen Foster was an improvement…perhaps he’s ready for a big Summer. 5. Game On Dude – Threw in another dud performance in the Gold Cup. They are starting to happen more often now. Sleeper: Zivo – Forget about New York breds…Zivo looks likes he could be a force wherever or whenever he runs! Will he face the giants at Saratoga? Older Females 1. Close Hatches – New leader of this division is now three for three including an exciting win in the Ogden Phipps. 2. Princess of Sylmar – She was just a nose away from taking over the number one spot as she was just edged out by Close Hatches. 3. Beholder – She’s much better than her Ogden Phipps effort and will regroup. 4. Midnight Lucky – Freakish type sprinter may not be able to go two turns, but has ability. 5. Iotapa – Seems to always run a big one at some point…can she string a few together? Sleeper: Dreaming of Julia – If she ever makes it back in good form we don’t know how good she could end up being… 3 Year Old Males 1. California Chrome – Was still decent in defeat, and CLEARY is the leader of the division heading into the summer. 2. Tonalist – Gutsy effort to win the Belmont by horse that has gotten through some set backs and now might be ready to really shine. 3. Shared Belief – Uh oh…the two year old champion has come back looking brilliant! Can he unseat California Chrome? 4. Danza – Injured, but still ranks ahead of the others in my opinion. Will be hard to hold onto this spot. 5. Mr Speaker – Turf racing not as important as dirt racing in the U.S., but what a huge victory for him in the Belmont Derby. Sleeper: Ride On Curlin – Going to run in the West Virginia Derby next…don’t forget about him. 3 Year Old Females 1. Untapable – She’s really good…and the rest are really bad. 2. Minorette – This group is not good outside of Untapable, so any big win (no matter the surface) shoots you up the list. 3. My Miss Sophia – Ran poorly in the Acorn but her resume is still better than the ones below her. 4. Unbridled Forever – Was able to hit the board in both big races at Churchill and Belmont but is majorly below the top one in here. 5. Size – Up and coming horse looked pretty solid in the Iowa Oaks. Must step up against tougher next time though. Sleeper: Fortune’s Pearl – Very sharp win in the Delaware Oaks could mean she’s improving. Sprinters 1. Goldencents – Thought his Met Mile race showed he was back in a big way! No disgrace losing to Palace Malice. 2. Work All Week – This horse is nothing short of incredible. Who can beat him? Can an Illinois be the top sprinter in the country? Maybe… 3. Bayern – Could be this year’s version of Goldencents as a three year old. His Woody Stephens wins was FREAKISH. 4. Clearly Now – No idea whether he can reproduce that Belmont Sprint Championship effort again, but if he can…. 5. Declassify – What a courageous effort to win the Triple Bend last weekend. Not sure he’s as talented as some, but will fight until the end. Sleeper: Delaunay – He ran a great race in the Iowa Sprint Handicap, just couldn’t beat Work All Week.
