	Horse/sire	Trainer	Best Beyer
	Older dirt males (view PPs)
1	Nysos, by Nyquist	B. Baffert	109
	Whether better than Sovereignty or not, Saudi-Met one-two punch lands him on top
2	Sovereignty, by Into Mischief	B. Mott	115
	Good as I think he is, I'm not treating the Foster like a foregone conclusion
3	Magnitude, by Not This Time	S. Asmussen	108
	Gun Runner parallels eerie - we still don't know his ceiling
4	Forever Young, by Real Steel	Y. Yahagi	111
	Out of sight, out of mind, out of the Western Hemisphere

1	Nitrogen, by Medaglia d'Oro	M. Casse	114
	Not sure any horse anywhere could've beaten her in the Phipps
2	Splendora, by Audible	B. Baffert	100
	Nitrogen to deal with if she routes, ultra-fast 7f horses if she sprints
3	Ways and Means	C. Brown	111
	Narrow win over Grand Job, and equally narrow edge over her here
4	Grand Job, by Justify	B. Mott	108
	Her last two, Madison and Bed o' Roses, raised the bar for "quality defeats"

	Stayed in the barn yet stock rose with Grand Job's strong run at SAR

1	Golden Tempo, by Curlin	C. DeVaux	95
	Derby doubters, desist! Throwback colt - rugged, loaded with stamina
2	Englishman, by Maxfield	C. DeVaux	115
	Hard to believe, after his spectacular Stephens, that he lost the Pat Day
3	Commandment, by Into Mischief	B. Cox	101
	Not sure he wants much more than 9f, but he showed up again in Belmont
4	Crude Velocity, by Beau Liam	B. Baffert	103
	Ran his race, which is a very high-level race, indeed, and got smoked
5	Renegade, by Into Mischief	T. Pletcher	98
	No matter the time between starts, he'll never beat Golden T at 1 1/4 miles
6	Stark Contrast, by Caravaggio	M. McCarthy	99

8	Further Ado, by Gun Runner	B. Cox	106

1	Always a Runner, by Gun Runner	C. Brown	94
	Fair to say she regressed in the Acorn; even so, I expected more
2	Meaning, by Gun Runner	M. McCarthy	92
	Probably got too much of Acorn pace, and look at all the shipping required
3	Counting Stars, by Honor A. P.	M. Casse	95
	Acorn career peak came, essentially, in ninth start of ongoing form cycle
4	Explora, by Blame	B. Baffert	91
	This is a versatile, talented, and underrated filly; 7f Test next major goal
5	Prom Queen, by Quality Road	B. Cox	92
	Big dip from 4 to 5 on this list
6	Cy Fair, by Not This Time	G. Weaver	94
7	Zany, by American Pharoah	T. Pletcher	89

10	Percy's Bar, by Upstart (8)	B. Colebrook	87
	Turf males (view PPs)
1	Rhetorical, by Not This Time	W. Walden	107
	Bevy of excuses in Manhattan; his Turf Classic still sets division's standard
2	Burnham Square, by Liam's Map	I. Wilkes	106
	Don't hold narrow 6/13 win against him; still in top form
3	Deterministic, by Liam's Map	M. Clement	101
	This Manhattan his best race yet - was on home ground with ideal trip
4	Formidable Man, by City of Light	M. McCarthy	98
	Say what you want about SoCal turfers - he's more than a cut above them
5	Reef Runner, by The Big Beast	D. Fawkes	102
	Saudi G2 win, Al Quoz close 4th, G1 Jaipur win - strong stuff
6	Test Score, by Lookin at Lucky	H.G. Motion	100
7	One Stripe, by One World	H.G. Motion	99
8	Lagynos, by Kantharos	S. Asmussen	104

10	Gold Phoenix, by Belardo (new)	P. D'Amato	102
	Turf females (view PPs)
1	Classic Q, by Classic Empire	M. Casse	99
	Division is an absolute mess; Q as deserving as anyone of top slot
2	Lush Lips, by Ten Sovereigns	B. Walsh	95
	Without the April setback, think she'd have won two G1s this year
3	Segesta, by Ghostzapper	C. Brown	98
	I saw no excuse for her moderate third in Just a Game
4	Expensive Queen, by Lope de Vega	B. Walsh	95
	Beats Segesta in Jenny Wiley one more jump - out till late summer at least
5	Kathynmarissa, by American Pharoah	C. Brown	96
	Maybe she has lost her gate speed, but hard to show it when taken back
6	Portfolio Duration, by Night of Thunder	C. Brown	98
7	Ag Bullet, by Twirling Candy	R. Baltas	106
8	Thought Process, by Collected	P. D'Amato	95

	Sprinters (view PPs)
1	Englishman, by Maxfield	C. DeVaux	114
	100 percent believe he's at least as good at 6f as 7f - and can still get better!
2	T O Elvis, by Volatile	D. Takyanagi	108
	Good as he was at CD over 7f, he'd have trouble catching Englishman at 6f
3	Ways and Means, by Practical Joke	C. Brown	111
	R Disaster really is more than two lengths better than she at level weights?
4	Grand Job, by Justify	B. Mott	108
	Barn's done great work with her - two G1 heartbreakers must really sting
5	Cornucopian, by Into Mischief	B. Baffert	103
	Holding him firm above Danno and Bent - he has all the upside this year
6	Book'em Danno, by Bucchero	D. Ryan	111
7	Bentornato, by Valiant Minister	J. D'Angelo	110
8	Eclatant, by Into Mischief	B. Cox	109
