Why Horse Should Win: In a year where fillies dominated the Turf Triple Crown and Turf Sprinter Crown, Sun King continued family domination of the sprinter and miler division. He won three of the four races in the Red Mile series on his way to being Dirt Mile Champion and Overall Champion in the Green/Red Mile Series. He also won the Boys Party and Star Party races. He capped off his amazing three year old season with a win over Silent Snap and Jazzasoleil in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. Sun King lived in the shadow of Mastermind for only a year and he's making his own record breaking career come to life.

Why Horse Should Win: Pride is a specialist at what he does and he's just bloody fast. Very few horses could match him on the track this season at eight and nine furlongs. He ventured out of his comfort zone to finish a good third in the Kentucky Open before heading back to where he fit best. He won the Lure Green Mile and Royal Heroine Green Mile en route to becoming the Green Mile Champion. He doubled back with ultra impressive victories against older horses in the Winter Cup Grade One Turf, at ten furlongs, and the Breeders' Cup Mile.

While campaigned selectively, Pride was a factor in every race he ran in because with his dangerous speed, everyone is forced to bring their running shoes if they want to beat him.

Why Horse Should Win: While this boy may not have the most HOTY wins this season, there is no doubt that he was on fire at the Classic distance this season. Sonny gave Firestone their first Kentucky Derby win (with a create no less), and was able to post a solid run in the Y15 Triple Crown. Almost all of his races were HOTY campaigned and he proved to be a strong competitor wherever he ran.
