Here is the Beyers from last weekend.
Einstein (Santa Anita Handicap)- 100
Stardom Bound (Santa Anita Oaks)- 87
Kilroe Mile (Kilroe Mile)- 103
I Want Revenge (Gotham Stakes)- 113
Let It Rock (Razorback Handicap)- 92
Now for the Top Five for the 3yo's only.
Triple Crown (3yo males)
1. The Pamplemousse (Kafwain)- His last race was very impressive, now of course it was on a synthtic surface. That's the big key, can he transfer that over to dirt. We'll see after his next race.
Next race: Santa Anita Derby
2. I Want Revenge (Stephen Got Even)- A few years ago Stephen Got Even had a really nice 2yo named Stevie Wonderboy. Unfortanlly he was injured and missed the Triple Crown. While I Want Revenge is related to Stevie by sire only, he could give dad some redemption. Also a Cali horse, I Want Revenge was a horse who had been a thorn in Pioneerof the Nile's side until he left for New York. He passed the dirt challenge with flying colors in the Gotham. In matter of fact, he might be better on dirt then he is on a synthtic surface. It will be very interesting in how he does in the Wood against simlary quality horses that he faced in Cali.
Next race: Wood Memorial
3. Frisian Fire (AP Indy)- I seriously think of the two Larry Jones horses, he will end up being the better one. The LA route has hit on some hard times and a win in this Saturday's LA Derby could be the race that you could see some very interesting devolopments out of. I'm really excited about his and Patena's chances.
Next race: Louisana Derby
4. Patena (Seeking the Gold)- My one concern is that he has not had a prep race. I don't think it will be a huge deal, but it's in the back of my mind. The LA Derby is loaded with horses who have so much promise, but he and Frisian Fire stand out in my mind.
Next race: Lousiana Derby
5. Old Fashioned (Unbridled's Song)- I just don't think he's the one like everyone thinks he is. While I liked that he rated in the Southwest, Silver City did not give up. Also Flat Out may have a huge race up his sleeve. And if Rachel Alexandra does come in for the AR Derby, it could be trouble, because she posting faster times in her last two races.
Next race: Rebel Stakes
Now you maybe asking where is Chocolate Candy (Candy Ride) and Pioneerof the Nile (Empire Maker). Well, unfortanlly they fall just short of this list for me. As does Imperial Council (Empire Maker), Dunkirk (Unbridled's Song) and Mr. Fantasy (E Dubai). There are all on my horses to watch list. Probley after this weekend I'll open it up to a three tiered system. Capt. Candyman Can (Candy Ride) is apprently now iffy for the TC (poo!)
Triple Tiara (3yo females)
1. Rachel Alexandra (Medaglia d'Oro)- The clear cut early favorite for the KY Oaks. She shouldn't have a problem with the FG Oaks, especially now that her biggest challengers are injured and are going to Oaklawn.
Next race: Fair Grounds Oaks
2. Bon Jovi Girl (Malibu Moon)- A half sister to newly crowned G1 winner Gio Ponti. Bon Jovi Girl has the same trainer as Afleet Alex. She has already faced older females and won, and with Rachel Alexandra in New Orleans, she could be the one to beat in the Honeybee.
Next race: Honeybee Stakes
3. Stardom Bound (Tapit)- She's taken a step backwards, and it's not in a good way. Now that the SA Derby is out of the picture, she'll head to Keenland to prep for the Oaks.
Next race: Ashland Stakes
4. Third Dawn (Sky Mesa)- The lucky loser in the SA Oaks, she has quite a career ahead of her I think. Look for her to make some noice on the California circuit later this year.
Next race: ????
5. Evita Argentina (Candy Ride)- She wasn't entered in the FG Oaks, so I'm assuming that she will be remaining sprinting.
Next race: ????
Off the list: War Echo (Tapit)- injured and will not particpate in the KY Oaks. Elusive Heat (Elusive Quality)- has been working, but not sure when she's coming back.
Look out for: Four Gifts (Even the Score), What A Pear (E Dubai), Just Jenda (Menifee)

Top Five update
This is a top five update for Three Year Olds only, the older horses will return in March after Dubai along with the debuts of the sprinter and turf lists.
3yo male (Triple Crown) Top Five:
1. Old Fashioned (Unbridled's Song)- A professional 3yo debut for him in the Southwest. He sat off pacesetter Silver City and took the lead at the top of the stretch. His final time was a second slower then Rachel Alexandra's Martha Washington time. But the track was playing faster the day before, still it will be interesting in how he does in the Rebel next time out.
Next race: Rebel S. at Oaklawn
2. Pioneerof the Nile (Empire Maker)- Right now he's the class of California and the one to watch going into the SA Derby. He's beaten Chocolate Candy, I Want Revenge ect. He hasn't faced The Pamplemousse yet, but that showdown could happen soon.
Next race: Santa Anita Derby? at Santa Anita
3. Chocolate Candy (Candy Ride)- Slips a spot due to the fact that Pioneer had a nice race last time out, and he did after a little bit of trouble at Golden Gate. One of two races at Santa Anita are next for him. My darkhorse pick.
Next race: A race at Santa Anita
4. Fresian Fire (AP Indy)- Is he this year's Pyro? He won both the Lacomte and Risen Star so far, he'll face a fresh Patena in the LA Derby along with several other horses that he's run against. It will be certinally interesting day for him when that comes.
Next race: LA Derby at the Fair Grounds
5. Patena (Seeking the Gold)- I still really like his chances going into the LA Derby, but will he be too fresh? Only time will tell.
Next race: LA Derby at the Fair Grounds
Falling off the list: Capt. Candyman Can (Candy Ride)- Could come back on after his race next week.
On the radar: Capt. Candyman Can, Dunkirk (Unbridled's Song), Silver City (Unbridled's Song), The Pamplemousse (Kafwain)
3yo female (Triple Tiara) Top Five:
1. Rachel Alexandra (Medaglia d'Oro)- Alot of people think she might end up better then Stardom Bound. I'm one of those people, for a few reasons. The biggest is that she has a dirt win under her belt, and it happens to be where the Oaks will be taking place. Has run faster then the boys the past two times, breaking the Martha Washington stakes record last time out. She might face the boys after either the Fair Grounds Oaks or Honeybee, but more then likley to stay against the girls.
Next race: either the Honeybee at Oaklawn or the Fair Grounds Oaks at the Fair Grounds.
2. Stardom Bound (Tapit)- In her defence, she did overcome traffic in her last start, but the pressure of being an IEAH horse has already started. She'll prep for the SA Derby in the SA Oaks, a detour of what orginally was going to happen in which she would have directly gone to the SA Derby. Should win the SA Oaks easily to setup a showdown with Pioneer and CC in the SA Derby.
Next race: SA Oaks at Santa Anita
3. War Echo (Tapit)- A 3/4 sister to Pyro, won the Silverbulletday last time out. It will be interesting in how she does in the FG Oaks especially if her stablemate Four Gifts (2nd) and Just Jenda (3rd) come back. Add in Evita Argentina and possibly Rachel Alexandra, this is turning into a great race.
Next race: FG Oaks? at the Fair Grounds
4. Evita Argentina (Candy Ride)- As Madonna sang in Evita (the movie) "Don't cry for me Argentina!", Evita (whose father is really from Argentina, so it makes sense) beat the boys in the San Vicente. This is something that would make her namesake (Who I assume is Eva Perron), proud. She's stretching out in her next race, the Fair Grounds Oaks.
Next race: FG Oaks at the Fair Grounds
5. Elusive Heat (Elusive Quality)- Haven't heard anything on where she's heading next, but squeeks in over Laragh, Four Gifts and Just Jenda. And that's saying as those three are more likley to hit the TT trail, where as EH will stay with sprinters.
Next race: ?????
Off the list: Laragh (Tapit)- not sure where's she's heading next. Hopefully a turf or small dirt stake soon.
On the radar: Four Gifts (Even the Score), Just Jenda (Menifee), Pumpkin Shell (Lion Heart)
3yo male (Triple Crown) Top Five:
1. Old Fashioned (Unbridled's Song)- A professional 3yo debut for him in the Southwest. He sat off pacesetter Silver City and took the lead at the top of the stretch. His final time was a second slower then Rachel Alexandra's Martha Washington time.

Beyers and Top Five (2/2/09)
I could only find the Beyers for stakes races for this weekend. So here they are:
Hutcheson S (G2): Capt. Candyman Can- 100
Holy Bull S (G3): Saratoga Sinner- 96
Donn H (G1): Albertus Maximus- 101
Gulfstream Park Turf H (G1): Kip Deville- 103
Santa Monica H (G1): Ventura- 96
The other Beyers of this weekends stakes races can be found at DRF.com
Now for the top five, what I'm going to do is do each divisions (except for 2yo's as it's too early for them to race). Some of the lists will actually be a one horse list or a two horse list, that's because there is really no standouts in that particular division, this early in the year. As the year progresses, more horses will come to the front of my lists. For the first few times I'll be putting what in the future I'll be calling the division in parenthesis. I'm not doing the turf and sprinter divisions for now, as there is too much murkiness for me. I'll proably do them in the next few weeks.
Three Year Old Male Division (Triple Crown Division)- Note: This will become of the Older Male/Classic Division, after the Belmont
1. Old Fashioned (Unbridled's Song)- I'm not a huge fan of his yet, I really need to see his race at Oaklawn. However, there is no mistake that he's very talented colt, and with 2yo champion Midshipman in Dubai, he could become the morning line favorite if his form holds. Next race: Southwest S. at Oaklawn
2. Chocolate Candy (Candy Ride)- This is another horse who benifits of Midshipman being in Dubai as he would have otherwised faced him in Santa Anita Derby. The biggest concern is will he take to the dirt. I don't see that being a problem, but you never know. His pedigree oozes with class, with his sire being undefted, broodmare sire being a Triple Crown winner, his grandmother, a half sister to another Triple Crown champion who is by her brother's arch rival,(BTW the two TC winners I'm talking about are Seattle Slew (his broodmare sire) and Affirmed who won in 1977 and 1978 respectivly. Affirmed's half sister (CC's grandmother) is by his arch rival Alydar). Next race: El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate
3. Capt. Candyman Can (Candy Ride)- Here's where it gets a little bit murky, I know I should put Midshipman here, but I'm just not convinced he'll return before the Triple Crown. I do hope I'm wrong, but we'll see. Anway Capt. is coming off a win this past Friday in the Hutchenson, beating Hello Broadway and Break Water Edison. He seems to have a bad race, every other time, but he's number 3 as most the horses I would have put in front of him, have either not started yet this year, or have not done well. He's won at a mile, and his first time he race over a mile he finished third. So it will be interesting if he does go to the Fountain of Youth next. Next race: Fountain of Youth? at Gulfsteam
4. Patena (Seeking the Gold)- Of all horses in the top five (as of right now), I would not be suprised if he ends up spoiling the Triple Crown or wins the whole thing. A very impressive second place finish in the LaComte last time out, he was sold to IEAH and has a new trainer in Rick Dutrow. Now his dam Handpainted, is by AP Indy (Who in turn is by Seattle Slew who I mentioned in Chocolate Candy's profile), the 1992 Belmont Stakes winner. In turn her dam Daijin, is by Deputy Minsiter out of the Buckpasser mare Passing Mood. This makes her, a half sister to 1989 Candian TC winner With Approval and a full sister to 1997 Belmont winner (and TC spoiler) Touch Gold. Next race: Fountain of Youth? at Gulfstream
5. Friesan Fire (AP Indy)- Stablemate to Old Fashioned, they are going on two compleatly different routes, FF is staying in New Orleans for their preps, while Old Fashioned is in AR. He won the LaComte last time out, and had a pretty decent two year old season. His female family is interesting as it's something we don't usally see in the US. His dam Bollinger, who is by Dehere is out of a Group 1 winner from Australia. Bollinger is a Group 1 winner, herself. I think he may end up being on the turf in the future, (Both AP Indy and Dehere's broodmare sire is 1973 Triple Crown winner Secretariat, who might have better on turf then dirt). But lets see how he does in the other preps and the TC. Next race: Risen Star S. at Fair Grounds
Three Year Old Females Division (Triple Tiara)- Note: Will be combined with the Older Female/ Distaff Division after August
1. Stardom Bound (Tapit)- New owners, new trainer. Still the BC Juvi Fillies winner is on top of this division, for now. I'll be interested in how she does in her first race for IEAH. Next race: Las Virgenes at Santa Anita
2. Rachel Alexandra (Medaglia d'Oro)- My personal favorite, she's going on the same path as Eight Belles did last year. I'm really, really excited to see how she does this year and I seriously think that she could be the one to upset Stardom Bound in the KY Oaks. Next race: Martha Washington at Oaklawn
3. Elusive Heat (Elusive Quality)- She's a sprinter, but her last few races have been amazing. But then again, her genes help. Dad was a world record holder at a mile on grass and her mom is the great sprinting filly Xtra Heat. Look out for her in to give Indian Blessing and Ventura a run for their money later on this year. Next race: ????
4. Laragh (Tapit)- In the end, I think she'll be the better of the two IEAH Tapit fillies. Won the Hollywood Starlet on Proride last time out. Not sure if she'll take on her more regarded stablemate, or stay on turf this year. Next race: ????
I have to come back in a week to have a top five for this division.
Older Male Division (Classic Division)- Note: Will combine with the 3yo male/Triple Crown division after the TC.
1. Albertus Maximus (Albert the Great)- Now Curlin is retired, he is a class behind by himself. It's early in the season, so we can't judge in how he will do in Dubai, so it's a toss up. Next race: Dubai World Cup? in Dubai, UAE
2. Tiago (Plesant Tap)- Really the only good horse from that great class of 2007 left (there are a few others, but he's in a league of his own). He's proably better on dirt, then the Pro Ride. I'm not sure where he's heading as his stud rights have been sold to Adena and there has been no announcement to weather he's still in training or not. Next race: ????
This is a really murky divison and won't really start to really take shape until the Summer. Although after next weekend, it might be more clearer.
Older Female Division (Distaff Division)- Note: will be combined with the 3yo female/Triple Tiara division in August.
This is deepest division and when combined in August with the 3yo's will be even deeper..
1. Zenyatta (Street Cry)- A woman among girls, the winner of the BC Ladies Classic. She could make a strong run at Horse of the Year and possibly get it. Next race: ????
2. Proud Spell (Proud Citizen)- She couldn't really take to farm life, and is returning this year. The 3yo filly champion proably won't pop up until mid year. Hopefully she is DelCap bound once she gets off the ground running. Next race: ????
3. Music Note (AP Indy)- You could make an arguement that she desereved the Eclipse over Proud Spell, but she's just going to get better and better. Don't be surprised if she takes a chance on turf, but it will be an exciting year for her. Next race: ????
4. Cocoa Beach (Doneraile Court)- Music Note's stablemate, she could possibly just stay on the turf this year. Of the two, Godolphin has more options with her. Next race: ????
5. Ventura (Chester House)- Out of Indian Blessing and her, she's probably the better of the two. Another case where she probably should have won the Eclipse. And like Cocoa Beach, she can run both on synthetic/dirt or turf. Next race: ????
Overall:
too early to tell
