News Top 100 Horses to Watch for in 2017 December 28, 2016 News Top 100 Horses to Watch for in 2017 December 28, 2016 By: Aaron Halterman twitterfacebooklinkedinemail Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article With just a few days left in 2016, it’s time to focus on 2017. The dawn of a new year in horse racing always starts with the Kentucky Derby trail, and this year will be no different. However, the older male and female division could be strong this season. Superstars Arrogate and Songbird are on target to return in 2017 which is the first bit of good news. These soon to be 4-year-olds could be the center piece of the racing season. It’s hard to imagine Arrogate having much competition considering the unbelievable performances we’ve seen from him, but Gun Runner and Connect will give it a shot. On the female side Songbird is definitely the stand out, but Stellar Wind will look to be a major rival for her this season. With that being said, when January rolls around the newly turned 3-year-olds will take center stage. The Kentucky Derby trail at this time has two headliners in Classic Empire and Mastery. Classic Empire looks to be head and shoulders above everyone based on speed figures, but Mastery has Bob Baffert on his side and is a Grade 1 winner without showing us his best stuff yet. On the filly side, Shane’s Girlfriend looks to be the most established threat, but youngsters Unique Bella and Elate are maiden winners that have a big time future. Hype is what the game is built on, and really what makes it great. You better believe we are ready for 2017! Today I’m hyping 100 horses for 2017. It’s never too early to look ahead!
