American 3-Year-Old Filly Top 10

1. Rachel Alexandra
Resting queen needs no introduction
2. Careless JewelCheck Spelling
Alabama Champ could play a huge factor in the ladies classic
3. Gozzip Girl
Looks for revenge in today's QEII. #4 on this list is breathing down her throat.
4. Silver Reunion
Freaked on the grass at Saratoga, looks to legitimize that performance in the Valley View.
5. Sara Louise
Another Godolphin threat ran with Indian Blessing, that is saying something.
6. Miss World
Really improving Clement filly looks to beat Gozzip Girl without an * next to it.
7. Lady Shakespeare
Improving sister to the phenomenal Shakespeare is a trained by the scary sharp Roger Attfield. Could really climb up this list after QEII.
8. Shared Account
Second Motion filly on the list. Lake Placid winner may not want to be on the lead and that is where she found herself in the Garden City.
9. Hot Cha Cha
Arlington-based filly seems to show up.
10. Flashing
Godolphin-sprinter, does that best. The Test was just OK this year but she ran well against Informed Decision at Presque Isle. Looks to the Raven Run.

Sea The Stars: Legendary Status Already, Retires


Sea The Stars (Cape Cross) was retired on Tuesday October 13, dashing all hopes the Americans had of seeing the Euro star run in the Breeders' Cup Classic.


The 3-year-old, out of the great Urban Sea was a possible for America's richest race after his dominating performance in the $5,828,400 Arc de Triomphe on Oct 4. Had Sea The Stars been entered in the BC Classic on November 7, he would have carried a 26.3 System number in with him. You can compare that to last year's favorite, Curlin (19.4), and eventual winner Raven's Pass (20.4). The 3-year-old's number is the highest System number in recent memory.

Sea The Stars' siblings include the great Galileo, My Typhoon, Black Sam Bellamy and All Too Beautiful.
