Wonder which of these fillies will actually run in the Derby and not the Oaks. I do know She Be Wild has been nominated...Several others may also have their eye on the Derby. It's a woman's world now...as our main focus seems still centered around Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta.

Love your list Brian, the top three are right where the should be and should stay there until another puts in a better performance or beats them head to head. I am surprised you have SBW so high, even after her last start. Many of these fillies have the potential to step up big time, and if they do we will have a very loaded 3yr filly divsion.

Great blog, Brian. I've currently got Blind Luck as my Oaks filly. I personally would have put Bickersons a wee bit higher, but I understand your concern about one turn vs. two for her.

Great Top 10. I am glad that you included Awesome Maria. From what I saw last year, I believe she has a world of potential.

Thanks for the list! I hope you keep updating it.

I saw a nice looking Baffert filly finishing a fast closing 2nd last weekend in what I think was her debut. Appealing Afare. Might be one to watch for.

Great job, Brian! My eyes are on Christine Daae and Biofuel!

Biofuel: the longer they go, the better I like her. Wouldn't it be a gas if Blind Luck won the Derby and Biofuel won the Oaks and they met in the Preakness?

Go fillies!

i am leaning more towards Negligee she is the sneaky one of this top 10 that will be over looked because of the first 6.

good stuff by ZATT buy dose any one reconize the fact that most of these fillies have lesser known sires? yes there northren afleet and giants causeway and a malibu moon it just seems like there is a lack of regally bred 3 yo fillies. your thoughts?

Hearing great things on Devil May Care and look forward to watching her return to the races. Beautician threw in a real clunker last time out but think a return to dirt will help her to bounce back.

Well done Brian. ZATT is a great forum and it is great to see you on the Bloodhorse too. Blind Luck is the current #1 but Bickersons has a bullet next to her name IMO.

As I said on ZATT, Christine Daae is the one who has my interest super peaked. Can't wait to see her next start.

great piece from ZATT. Blind Luck would be my pick at this stage too! Lots to happen between now and May!!

Blind Luck is #1. Hey Zipse at the Track, awesome list! I've seen a bunch of your blogs on here, every single time they are great. Why doesn't the Blood Horse show some sense and get you on here all the time?
