Each week I will focus on one division (older male, older female, 3yo male, 3yo female, 2 year olds will start in June). 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 older female division is featured this week.<\/P>
Hope to see your horses on the top 10 watchlist soon.<\/P>

STARK REALITY—(114) (NA)—big rally from the back of the field to finish 2nd in NY Grade II last time out puts this girl on the top 10 chart this week.<\/P> (7) (6)—SPEEDOMETER(KY)—(112) (114)—well, the turf try sure was not the answer her connections were looking for.<\/P> (8) (8)—CORMORANT CREEK—(88) (88)—PP pattern suggest her next start is a guaranteed 2nd place finish.<\/P> (9) (9)—POSITIVE DISCISION—(86) (86)—hopefully she can refind last summers form when she comes back to the races for her next start.<\/P> (10) (7)—BATTLEFIELD EARTH(GB)—(80) (112)—a trip to SW was not the answer for this girl’s woes as her last win keeps going further and further into the horizon.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> \u00a0 (2) (1)—KATHERINEOFARAGON(FR)—(224) (224)—was rallying in the stretch but she just fell to far behind in the backstretch to have a shot last time in AK.<\/P> (3) (2)—BLACK TUESDAY(KY)—(196) (196)—found the boys a little too difficult to run against last time out in Dubai Grade I.<\/P> (4) (3)—INTENTTODISTRIBUTE—(194) (194)—is still at the farm and hopefully working on her stamina issues before returning to the track.<\/P> (5) (7)—OTTO HISTORY—(161) (129)—ran great on 2nd of a layoff but could not hold 4 length top of stretch lead to division leader last time out settling for a 2nd place finish in Grade I contest.<\/P> (6) (NA)—BOLD PEGGY—(122) (NA)—KY Grade I winner from last fall wins NF stake in her 3rd start of 2008 and makes debut in the top 10 this week.<\/P> (7) (NA)—SEPTEMBER ROYALTY—(118) (NA)—speedy mare has been running well in allowances of late suggesting a return to the black type circuit may be in the forseeable future.<\/P> (8) (NA)—CAT O’ NINE LIVES(KY)—(116) (NA)—World Cup winner returns to the chart as this division usually has some dropping in and out due to other competitors retirements to the breeding shed.<\/P> (9) (NA)—TOUGH AS STEEL(KY)—(107) (NA)—Another World Cup winner who makes the top 10 with some minor share cheques picked up so far in 2008.<\/P> (10) (9)—LOVER NEVER DIE(IRE)—(104) (128)—last start in RI did not suggest a quick return to stakes forseen any time soon.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> \u00a0 (2) (2)—FROZEN FOUR—(195) (195)—looked like a possible winner at the top of the stretch in N1 Grade I last time out before fading to 4th and settling for minor share of the purse.<\/P> (3) (3)—THE TRIDENT(KY)—(184) (152)—came out on the wrong side of a heartbreaking photo in N1 Grade I last time out but that makes it a dozen races since she has missed the board.<\/P> (4) (NA)—K’S HASTY ‘N NASTY—(114) (NA)—3 race win streak capped by N1 Grade I victory last time out vaults this one onto the top 10 in the division this week.<\/P> (5) (5)—WAR IN HEAVEN—(113) (97)—rebounds in last by rallying to 3rd place finish in N1 Grade I last time out.<\/P> (6) (4)—CSI SUPER—(110) (110)—she just could not carry VT improvement to N1 where she just never got untracked and ended up last in the race.<\/P> (7) (6)—A.P. PRINCESS(KY)—(95) (95)—dropped down to 10 furlongs last time out in Dubai but rally ended up short suggesting a return to the long routes again next time out.<\/P> (8) (7)—K’S ARAKU—(89) (89)—ran an even 2nd in 2008 debut in DB slop and hopefully the track conditions were the cause of the 89 speed rating.<\/P> (9) (8)—BLACK PLEASURE—(70) (74)—still no sign of when and if this one will return as barn has been inactive since December.<\/P> (10) (NA)—FUSAICHI KRISSY—(69) (NA)—won last time in AT and has cashed a cheque in all 3 starts so far this year to make the bottom rung in the top 10 ladder this week.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> OLDER FEMALES—TURF SPRINTS<\/U><\/STRONG><\/P> (2) (3)—ALBERTA FIRE—(163) (163)—it took a yielding turf last time out to break her 7 race win streak but she is still climbing the ladder with her sights set on the top of the division.<\/P> (3) (2)—DANCE SEEKER—(149) (177)—2nd place WI finish was just not good enough to keep her from slipping down 1 spot on the chart this week.<\/P> (4) (4)—EYE OF THE WORLD(IRE)—(128) (136)—just never found her footing on the SP yielding turf last time out suggesting future starts will be only when the grass comes up firm.<\/P> (5) (6)—LIGHTSEEKER(IRE)—(122) (126)—improves with 2nd start this year by finishing 2nd in EK stake and returns to triple digit speed ratings.<\/P> (6) (5)—MIRARI’S WAKE(IRE)—(120) (128)—she tired after bried speed early in SP Grade II last time out suggesting she is another who is not to found of the turf when the going is wet.<\/P> (7) (7)—GANGLORD—(105) (101)—another top 3 finish in N1 stake last time out keeps her solidly in the top 10 again this week.<\/P> (8) (8)—PLOY—(84) (84)—speed duel in SP Grade II gave this one no chance at the end and she held on for 6th despite the crazy early fractions.<\/P> (9) (NA)—RUDY—(74) (NA)—3 wins and a 3rd so far in 2008 including Grade II contest in SP last time out debut this 5 year old mare on the chart this week.<\/P> (10) (10)—CAT ON HOLD(KY)—(74) (74)—has not won in last 5 starts and 4 of those have been against allowance company.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> OLDER FEMALES—TURF CLASSIC ROUTES<\/U><\/STRONG><\/P> (2) (2)—NORSE PRINCESS—(256) (272)—expecting much better when she races next which will be her 2nd race off a layoff.<\/P> (3) (3)—NORTHERN PULP—(232) (264)—returns to 8 furlongs this week in CA stake, a distance she probably prefers best.<\/P> (4) (4)—HIGH RANSOM—(212) (214)—2nd straight OT run below triple digit speed ratings suggests perhaps it’s time to get out of Canada.<\/P> (5) (6)—WET PAINT—(185) (192)—came back in allowance again last time out and hopefully 88 speed rating for 2nd place finish was due to a whcky track variant.<\/P> (6) (5)—TORCH THE FLAME(KY)—(181) (213)—is regrouping at Super sable headquarters as they try to find a way to get this girl back to the winners circle for the 1st time since the World Cup.<\/P> (7) (8)—SKULLCRUSHER(KY)—(170) (170)—has not really fired in back to back Grade I’s so far in 2008.<\/P> (8) (7)—DEROCKERY(IRE)—(163) (171)—even with SW rally last time out it is expected she will return to 10 furlongs for her next start.<\/P> (9) (9)—COSMO GIRL—(162) (158)—returned to 8 furlongs last time out matching her best 111 speed rating in 2nd place Z1 stake run.<\/P> (10) (NA)—TARA(IRE)—(156) (NA)—first a win at 13\/1 at DPCD and then a 2nd place finish in DB Grade I against the boys as 18\/1 longshot has given her backers something to smile about when they cash at the windows. <\/P> \u00a0<\/P> OLDER FEMALES—TURF LONG ROUTES<\/U><\/STRONG><\/P> (2) (2)—NERF HERDER—(178) (180)—division looks to be vulnerable with the top 2 looking to be struggling at the moment.<\/P> (3) (3)—DANZING THEATRE(IRE)—(116) (114)—came back to finish even 3rd in E2 stake last time out while posting 3rd straigth 100 speed rating.<\/P> (4) (4)—SET THE CLOCK(KY)—(98) (102)—has yet to miss the board so far in 3 starts this year.<\/P> (5) (5)—DYNAHIGH(IRE)—(94) (95)—continues to have problems keeping leads in the late stretch but has made it 4 races in a row cashing a cheque.<\/P> (6) (6)—CACHE(SAF)—(88) (92)—struggled in Sandcastle Turf Grade I last time out as she appeared to never get untracked in the race against the boys.<\/P> (7) (8)—KNEEL BEFORE ZOD(KY)—(86) (88)—the dirt was not the answer in trying to get this one back in the winners circle since last July.<\/P> (7) (7)—THE DUECE(KY)—(89) (81)—returns to long routes with a NF win last time out to slide on up the ladder this week.<\/P> (8) (8)—KNEEL BEFORE
