Here would be my list for top dirt runners in the USA. Not based on who I like and what I think, because like I have said before IMO Z would be Rachel 9/10 times on dirt.

1. Quality Road--- CLEAR CUT #1
2. Eskendereya
3. Blame
4. Rachel
5. Zenyatta
6. Warriors Reward
7. Musket Man
8. Redding Colliery
9. Lookin at Lucky
10. Super Saver

Musket Man lost by a nose giving Warriors Reward 2 pounds hence him being on the list and the winner not. Easy

That's they way they do things - they take weight pretty seriously

Thanks Brock, can you explain the entire thing or post a link? 2 pounds is not much, and Warrior was wide, very wide around the turn, at this time Ramon was tripping out on Musket Man. Warrior is also 2/3 H2H vs Musket Man and was given possibly the WORSE RIDE OF THE YEAR IN THE MET MILE. Never have I witnessed such a tragedy then that of Calvin in the Met engaging Quality Road so early like that, it was a disaster.

i believe they list them according to an individual performance. based on all racing this year, you think the apple blossom was a top ten dirt race? and you're taking racingpost to task??
