Turf males (view PPs)

    
1 Rebel's Romance, by Dubawi C. Appleby 107
  A 20-time winner with $15.2M purse earnings - let that sink in    
2 Notable Speech, by Dubawi C. Appleby 103
  Blistering turn of foot in BC Mile; races on as a 5yo next season    
3 Formidable Man, by City of Light M. McCarthy 100
  Needed to show he could compete at truly top level, and he did    
4 El Cordobes, by Frankel C. Appleby 104

Turf females (view PPs)

    
1 She Feels Pretty, by Karakontie C. DeVaux 104
  Lost nothing in Breeders' Cup defeat    
2 Gezora, by Almanzor C. Brown 105
  As good as she was winning BC, she should be better at age 4    
3 Ag Bullet, by Twirling Candy R. Baltas 106
  Five furlongs just too sharp for her, at least at this age; good second in BC    
4 Diamond Rain, by Shamardal C. Appleby 104
  Suspect we see her race more than once in N. America next year    
5 Excellent Truth, by Cotai Glory (R) C. Brown 99

Sprinters (view PPs)

    
1 Book'em Danno, by Bucchero D. Ryan 111
  Recency bias could make him vulnerable in Eclipse balloting    
2 Bentornato, by Valiant Minister J. D'Angelo 110
  A no-doubter in BC Sprint; ended year as best sprinter in training    
3 Shisospicy, by Mitole J. D'Angelo 105
  Won nearly as well over 6 1/2f at KD as she did over 5f in BC    
4 Kopion, by Omaha Beach R. Mandella 110
  Would've been better off in Distaff than Sprint!

2-year old males (view PPs)

    
1 Ted Noffey, by Into Mischief T. Pletcher 98
  Thought he ran better at KEE than DMR; obvious 2yo champ    
2 Brant, by Gun Runner B. Baffert 101
  Held solidly after setting pace in BC Juvenile; has filling out to do    
3 Mr. A. P, by American Pharoah V. Cerin 96
  Steady improver briefly looked like he would catch Ted Noffey in BC Juv.    
4 Intrepido, by Maximus Mischief J. Mullins 87
  Broke badly, against DMR bias - probably much better than his BC Juv.    
5 Stark Contrast, by Caravaggio M. McCarthy 86
  Quite possibly wins BC Juv. Turf without the compromising trouble    
       
6 Desert Gate, by Omaha Beach B. Baffert 88
7 Napoleon Solo, by Liam's Map C. Summers 94
8 Gstaad, by Starspangledbanner A. O'Brien 88

2-year old fillies (view PPs)

    
1 Super Corredora, by Gun Runner J. Sadler 84
  Ridden from the start of BC Juv. Fillies like they meant business - and they did    
2 Explora, by Blame B. Baffert 88
  Still uncertain she really wants to route    
3 Cy Fair, by Not This Time G. Weaver 88
  Turf sprints hardly a glamour division, but she is very, very good    
4 Percy's Bar, by Upstart B. Colebrook 81
  Mugged in BC Juv. Fillies or she's much closer    
5 Tommy Jo, by Into Mischief T. Pletcher 85
  Back to one-turn racing following BC fizzle    
       
6 Ground Support, by Army Mule K. Danner 83
