TCI TOP FIVES
| 1 |
Flat Out |
Trip may have been the difference
between he and the winner in Woodward. |
| 2 |
Havre de Grace |
Proved her ability against the boys
with a classy and fast Woodward win. |
| 3 |
Tizway |
Must show that he can take his act
outside of New York and handle 10 furlongs. |
| 4 |
Twirling Candy |
Narrow Pacific Classic defeat was his
best finish yet at 10 furlongs – but he's still 0-for-3 at that
trip. |
| 5 |
So You Think (NZ) |
Arguably the world's best at 10
furlongs; Dirt is the only concern – and it's a big one. |
| 1 |
Blind Luck |
Gomez has fit her like a glove this year; top spot is hers until proven otherwise. |
| 2 |
Havre de Grace
|
Awesome Woodward win makes her likely
to race in the Classic against boys rather than here. |
| 3 |
Royal Delta |
Improving 3yo filly has loads of talent and the potential to be any kind. |
| 4 |
It's Tricky |
As good as any 3yo filly at 9 furlongs; Good tactical speed and tenacious in the stretch. |
| 5 |
Switch |
Very classy filly and deserves to be on this list, but is she going the wrong way? |
| 1 |
Big Drama |
Defending champ should move forward off
his comeback win – and he'll need to. |
| 2 |
The Factor
|
Showed just how talented of a sprinter
he is while beating older horses at Del Mar off a layoff. |
| 3 |
Smiling Tiger |
As good as any on dirt, but he must
conquer his gate problems between now and Nov. 5th. |
| 4 |
Trappe Shot |
The fact he's No. 4 on this list shows
you just how top heavy the division is. |
| 5 |
Hamazing Destiny |
Runner-up in last year's Sprint is a sleeper again after two sneaky-good performances at Saratoga. |
| 1 |
Uncle Mo |
Champ dazzled at CD last year; Connections leaning toward the Kelso next, which may indicate they're thinking Dirt Mile. |
| 2 |
Crown of Thorns
|
Classy 6yo was the likely favorite in this race a year ago before defecting late with a leg ailment. |
| 3 |
Caleb's Posse |
Beat the top one in a deep King's Bishop and appears to have found his niche as a closer around one turn. |
| 4 |
Jackson Bend |
Like Caleb's Posse, he virtually came out of nowhere with a huge Saratoga meet; Can he carry that momentum to Nov. 5? |
| 5 |
Jersey Town |
G1-winning miler ran well in the second start of his form cycle last out in the Forego; His good tactical speed is an asset. |
