The Top 70 three year old horses as ranked by earnings in graded stakes races. Why 70? I don't know, seemed like a good spot to cut the list off.
I've removed horses that are not in contention for the Kentucky Derby (Vale of York, Blind Luck, Buddy's Saint, etc.).
We've still got a few Derby preps on the horizon (Blue Grass, Arkansas Derby, and Lexington), so there's a good chance that the 15-30 spots will see a significant shake-up before it's all said and done. Take a look at Awesome Act at #16; there's a good colt that could find himself bumped out of the mix as several horses behind him still have preps to run (Dublin, Interactif, Odysseus, Uh Oh Bango, Super Saver). Or we could see a colt way down on the list win one of the final preps, knocking several horses out. This is where it really get dicey if you weren't able to pick up any graded earnings as a two year old or early this spring.
The complete list can be found below the jump...
