Why Horse Should Win: Ana competed at a very high level all year, with 17 of her 19 races in HOTY* competition. While she won six races, she came in second in another seven. She competed in the entirety of the Turf Challenge, coming in second in the Golden Slipper Stakes and winning the Champagne Stakes. Add on top of this that she hardly had the pedigree to perform to this level, Santana's Legend is a freak who will very likely compete strongly toward the Turf Triple Crown in Y16.

Why Horse Should Win: Dudley was a late start to the Y15 season and proved that he is already a top competitor for next season's turf sprinter crown. He didn't place out of the money once and was very consistent throughout his season.

Why Horse Should Win: King has shown his brilliance throughout the whole year and is truly poised to become a major contender in the CTC series come Y16. He never finished out of the money in an ultimate competitive field. I think that King may have flown under some people's radars, but they should definitely sit up and pay attention where King is concerned because he has shown the class and the power to be the competition's biggest fear.
