After a weekend full of more prep races, Pyro still remains the top choice.  

  1. Pyro (A+) - remains on top, wins the LA Derby.
  2. War Pass (A+) - nc
  3. Kodiak Kowboy (A-) - nc
  4. Into Mischief (A-) - moves up one spot.
  5. Country Star (A-) - drops up spot.
  6. Georgie Boy (B+) - drops from an A-
  7. Yankee Bravo (B+) - jumps up two spots, shows in the LA Derby.
  8. Z Fortune (B+) - drops from an A-
  9. Visionaire (B) - 1st week on the top 12 list, wins the Gotham S.
  10. Court Vision (B) - drops from a B+
  11. Denis of Cork (B) - 1st week on the top 12 list
  12. Colonel John (B) - drops from a B+

This week, we welcome Visionaire and Denis of Cork, to the top 12 list. Visionaire win in the Gotham seems to make him a worthy contender.

We say goodbye to Tale of Ekati and Massive Drama this week.  Tale of Ekati 6th place finish in the Louisiana Derby places him outside my top 12.
