Divisional Standings (5/30/2012)

Three straight Grade 1 victories has vaulted I'll Have Another to the top of the Divisional Standings.
Three straight Grade 1 victories has vaulted I'll Have Another to the top of the Divisional Standings.

With almost half of the racing calender in the books, the Graded Stakes Divisional Standings are starting to take a more identifiable shape. Not surprisingly, I'll Have Another and Bodemeister have rocketed to the top of the 3yo Colts division on the strength of three excellent performances in a trio of Grade 1 races. Shackleford has assumed control of the Dirt Mile division on the strength of back-to-back graded stakes wins, the most recent occurring in the G1-Met Mile on Monday.

Nates Mineshaft has amassed 85 points in graded stakes races this year, but those points are split between the Older Classic division (35) and the Dirt Mile division (50). Given his running style I would expect this colt to continue to bounce between races at eight and a half and nine furlongs, but he might find ten furlongs a bit more challenging. We'll have to wait and see where his connections point him over the course of the summer and fall.

The Older Classic division is still led by Ron the Greek, but there have been very few top level races in that group to this point and I would expect those standing to see a lot of changes once we get into the summer racing season. The same caveat applies to the Older Distaff division.

Mr. Commons is piling up points in the Turf Mile division, even if he's not winning a lot of races. He currently has a 25 point lead over Willyconker (IRE), but with turf racing starting to pick up steam due to better weather, this division will likely see significant changes over the next two months.

(I haven't had the chance to run through the spreadsheet to perform a full audit, so any and all errors are all on me... as usual!)

As always, you can find the Graded Stakes spreadsheet at the link below (via Google Doc). Additionally, you can find a summary of the Top 10 horses for each division below the jump.
