THEO’S TOP 10 WATCHLIST

Each week I will focus on one division (older male, older female, 3yo male, 3yo female, 2 year olds will start in July). The rankings are taken by the sim division rankings via stakepoints and I add a little comment to each horse. Note in my lists horses are only eligible to be one one list and must have run 3 races in a row in a division to be eligible for that condition. Also, if a horse runs 3 times in a row in another division they would be removed from the list as well.

The chart is listed with this weeks ranking, last weeks ranking, horse name, this weeks stake points, last week’s stake points and a brief comment on the horses recent performance.

The older female division is featured this week.

Hope to see your horses on the top 10 watchlist soon.
