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.<\/P>
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.<\/P>
The 3YO colt division is featured this week.<\/P>
Hope to see your horses on the top 10 watchlist soon.<\/P>

3YO MALES—DIRT SPRINTS<\/U><\/STRONG><\/P> (1) (1)—INDY PROSPECTOR(FL)—(242) (224)—won his 08 debut in ID and then tried 8f finishing a closing 2nd last time out which could mean he will be leaving this division soon.<\/P> (2) (2)—SWIFTSURE(KY)—(216) (208)—couldn’t hold onto the lead in the stretch in 08 debut but the race still beat his 07 finale.<\/P> (3) ()—MAGICAL DANZ(IRE)—(128) (128)—early speed duel with favorite in VA Grade I killed both of them but will he come back sprinting or keep trying for the big prize.<\/P> (4) (4)—SPEEDTOWN(KY)—(128) (112)—has now finished 1st or 2nd in each of his last 5 starts.<\/P> (5) (5)—ADONAI(KY)—(113) (109)—did not run very good in Vemont and may be returning to sprinting in his next start.<\/P> (6) (6)—BELONG TO WHO(KY)—(108) (102)—i guess they are still tyring to figure out whether or not they have a dirt or grass sprinter on their hands.<\/P> (7) (8)—MEGS THE CAT(KY)—(88) (72)—2\/2 in 2008 with a sparkling 106 speed rating in his last start.<\/P> (8) (7)—TIMER STOPPER(CA)—(77) (77)—missed the board for the first time ever last time out but obviously got tired leading the pack in the slop and will be happy to comeback on a dry track next time out.<\/P> (9) (NA)—I DON’T GET IT(KY)—(76) (NA)—Minnesota IHM memorial winner was a hard closing 2nd in his 2008 debut in Wyoming.<\/P> (10) (NA)—FRISKY N FAST(AUS)—(76) (NA)—started off the 08 season the exact way he finished of 07 by wiring a short field dirt sprint stake race in the EAAA division.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 3YO MALES—DIRT CLASSIC ROUTES<\/U><\/STRONG><\/P> (1) (1)—FLEET DAISY(KY)—(241) (209)—eclipse award winner rallied for 3rd in Vermont Grade I last time out and perhaps now this colt will stick to the dirt.<\/P> (2) (NA)—THE GUN WENT OFF(KY)—(189) (NA)—vaults his way onto the top 10 list with a heartstopping last to first finish in Vermont Grade I in 2008 debut.<\/P> (3) (2)—JESUS WALKS(KY)—(168) (164)—failed to show his usual strong stretch kick last time out but the speed rating was still a triple digit which is the envy of many of his classmates.<\/P> (4) (3)—BROADWAY DANCER(KY)—(160) (160)—did not care for the off track in Denmark and has not looked the same since the World Cup.<\/P> (5) (9)—PYRALIS(KY)—(151) (119)—couldn’t duplicate his big run in N California last time out in the Vermont Grade I.<\/P> (6) (4)—SARDINI(KY)—(147) (147)—has been badly beaten in his 2 starts in 2008 and looks like he may have to shorten up on the distance in the future.<\/P> (7) (5)—ZABEEL WARRIOR(AUS)—(145) (141)—was given a confidence boosting allowance win after finishing way behind in back to back Graded stakes.<\/P> (8) (6)—ALYDAR AGAIN(KY)—(144) (140)—Vermont race did not look great but he was closing at the wire and I still think this one will be at his best when the races go 10f and further.<\/P> (9) (7)—GRATEST(FL)—(142) (140)—has 2 wins in 2008, 1 on the dirt and 1 on the turf with the turf being the faster race—is he off to greener pastures?<\/P> (10) (8)—SUITED AK(JPN)—(132) (132)—had a rough time in Vermont Grade I last time out after wiring the field in his prep for the big race.<\/P> THIS LIST WILL START LATER IN THE YEAR WHEN THE DIVISION HAS STRETCHED OUT IN DISTANCE.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 3YO MALES—TURF SPRINTS<\/U><\/STRONG><\/P> (1) (1)—LARGENT(ENG)—(192) (192)—missed the board in SA for the first time last time out and hopefully the 47 speed rating was only a minor blip on the radar screen<\/P> (2) (2)—DOTH’RAKI(KY)—(149) (148)—2008 debut was at 8 furlongs where his rally came up well short but will he be routing or sprinting in the future?<\/P> (3) (3)—CREZZINO(ENG)—(145) (145)—his AZ Grade I makes it 2\/2 in stretch collapses when going long—perhaps he should stick to sprinting.<\/P> (4) (4)—PROUD CHARM(KY)—(127) (117)—another who did not look out of place when extending to 8 furlongs and that may have him leaving this division soon.<\/P> (5) (5)—BOOM GATE(ENG)—(108) (108)—ran a stinker in 2008 debut in Vermont at 8f and may have needed a prep before trying the Grade I race.<\/P> (6) (6)—HANNAH’S HORIZON(IRE)—(96) (96)—missed the baord in a turf sprint for the first time last time out in MN.<\/P> (7) (9)—PALTICS COLT BG(KY)—(96) (76)—late rallying turf sprinter came up short last time out but still extended his streak to 9 by finishing in the top.<\/P> (8) (NA)—PAINT ME SILVER(KY)—(84) (NA)—has now won 3 in a row on the turf including Grade III Roasted Weanies stakes. <\/P> (9) (8)—DARK PASSAGE(ENG)—(82) (82)—started this year with an 8f flop and that makes it 2 bad races in a row.<\/P> (10) (NA)—AUTHENTIC FABLE(ENG)—(73) (NA)—sneaks into the last spot on the chart as many in this division are testing the waters by going 8f or more.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 3YO MALES—TURF CLASSIC ROUTES<\/U><\/STRONG><\/P> (1) (8)—HOARFROST HILL(IRE)—(225) (97)—had a big 2008 debut by winning Grade I mile with a lofty 104 speed rating to jump to the top of the chart.<\/P> (2) (1)—SPARTIATE(ENG)—(204) (204)—was rallying in the stretch but was no match for the top one here last time out.<\/P> (3) (2)—BUCK’S PARTY(ENG)—(182) (180)—eclipse award winner ran an even 2nd in 2008 debut but that race was just a prep for bigger and better things to come.<\/P> (4) (3)—RAGING MENACE(WA)—(161) (161)—dirt experiment last time out was a disaster—back to the turf and hopefully back to the EAAA where he seems to run better.<\/P> (5) (4)—WOETTE’S SLIPPER(KY)—(153) (153)—missed the board for the 1st time in 2008 debut in Arizona.<\/P> (6) (5)—CURIOUS CANDY(KY)—(144) (144)—Vermont may be for lovers but it sure wasm’t for this guy last time out.<\/P> (7) (6)—MANATEE BAD BOY(IRE)—(135) (135)—still on layoff after tough end to the 07 season.<\/P> (8) (7)—THE STARDUST(ENG)—(129) (129)—a pair of last place finished in a row now have this colt’s handlers wondering what to do next.<\/P> (9) (NA)—SAINT VIVANT(KY)—(128) (NA)—has rallied well in his last pair of races both at 8f and the results may point to him being better as he stretches out in distance.<\/P> (10) (9)—IDOL WORSHIP(ENG)—(88) (80)—rallied for a 2nd place finish in his 08 debut in Victoria and posted his first ever triple digit speed rating.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P>
