*Dictionary – 3 stakes wins
2x G1: Phoenix Stakes, Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf
1x G3: Lucky Cigar Breeders' Stakes
Absolutely elite juvenile turf colt, sweeping two huge Grade 1s and adding a graded undercard win for good measure. When he showed up, he won.
Battle of Hogwarts – 3 stakes wins
1x G1: Hollywood Queen Breeders' Stakes
2x UNG: Bouwerie, Real Delight Stakes
A brilliant filly who combined a marquee Breeders’ win with two regional stakes scores, finishing the year as one of your most decorated 3yo fillies.
Heartbreak Hotel – 3 stakes wins
1x G1: Ogden Phipps Stakes
1x G2: First Flight Stakes
1x G3: Lymerick Breeders' Stakes
Ruthlessly consistent around a mile to nine furlongs, she cleaned up in the older female division with graded wins at every level.
*Sushi – 3 stakes wins
2x G1: Kentucky Derby, Travers Stakes
1x UNG: Old Hat Stakes
Classic dirt monster and one of the banner horses of the year, taking two of the biggest 3yo races in the game and still finding time to pick up a prep win.
*Surprisingly – 3 stakes wins
1x G1: Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies
1x G2: Sorrento Stakes
1x UNG: Fashion Stakes
A star juvenile filly who handled both preps and championship day, stamping herself as the leader of her crop.
*Esplanade – 3 stakes wins
1x G3: South Pacific Classic
2x UNG: Sham Stakes, Round Table Stakes
Versatile 3yo who chipped away all season, winning from listed company up to a Grade 3 and setting himself up as a future stallion prospect.
*Sushi
10(10)-3(3)-1(1)-4(4)-1(1)-$2,390,000
Classic dirt king with a ridiculous résumé: G1 wins in the Kentucky Derby and Travers plus the Old Hat Stakes, and still on the board in the Florida Derby, Preakness, Belmont Stakes, Cross Roads Breeders' Stakes (G3), and What's It Worth Breeders' Stakes (G2). Rarely seen outside the top three in the very deepest company.
*Manhattan
8(8)-1(1)-2(2)-2(2)-1(1)-$1,702,500
Already a multiple G1-winning globetrotter, Manhattan added another top-level score in the Doomben Stakes (G1) and hit the board in a trio of elite European races – the Eclipse Stakes (G1), Bailey's Irish Champion Stakes (G1), and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes (G1). This was the season he crossed the seven-stakes-win milestone for his career and officially qualified for stallion duty, cementing his status as Denoux Stud’s homebred flagship.
*Bone Carver
8(8)-2(2)-3(3)-1(1)-2(2)-$1,094,000
Beyond his Grand National (G1 SC) and Moonover Boy Breeders' Stakes (G3 SC) wins, he hit the frame in the Bula Hurdle (G2), Ascot Gold Cup (G1), Silverton Stakes (G3), and Breeders' Cup SC Endurance (G1). A true iron horse in the staying and jump ranks.
*Melbourne
8(8)-1(1)-2(2)-2(2)-2(2)-$857,000
Added the G1 Queen's Plate Stakes to his already glittering record and backed it up with top-three finishes in the Holy Bull (G3), Fountain of Youth (G1), Santa Anita Derby (G1), and Dogwood Stakes (G3). Kept proving that last year’s juvenile heroics were no fluke.
*Malabar
8(8)-1(1)-3(3)-2(2)-1(1)-$726,000
Vosburgh Stakes (G1) winner who also ran huge in the Pillar Steeplechase (G2), The Grand National (G1), Tiverton Stakes (G3), and Breeders' Cup SC Endurance (G1). Swapped between flat and jumps and still held his form at the very top.
Lysandra
7(6)-2(1)-3(3)-2(2)-0-$496,000
G1 Diana Handicap winner with a super-deep supporting record: on the board in the Orchid Handicap (G2), Long Island Stakes (G2), Fire de Flame Breeders' Stakes (G3), That's Debatable Breeders' Stakes (G2), and Highland Raven Breeders' Stakes (G1). A model of consistency in the turf mare division.
*Esplanade
9(9)-3(3)-3(3)-3(3)-0-$430,000
One of your toughest campaigners: wins in the Sham Stakes, Round Table Stakes, and G3 South Pacific Classic, plus board-hits in the San Felipe (G2), Matt Winn (UNG), Riva Ridge Breeders' Cup (G2), Queensland Stakes (G2), Doomben Classic (G3), and Queensland Derby (G1). Everywhere you pointed him, he showed up.
*Original Gangster
9(9)-1(1)-3(3)-3(3)-1(1)-$407,500
G3 Arlington Matron winner who also hit the board in the Highland Rogue Stakes (G1), Sheepshead Bay Handicap (G2), Mount Vernon Stakes (UNG), Clement L. Hirsch Handicap (G2), Townsend Holly Breeders' Stakes (G3), and Backstage Pass Breeders' Stakes (G2). Rock-solid mare with graded blacktype on every surface of the page.
Southern Act
7(7)-1(1)-4(4)-0-0-$312,000
Matched a G1 Santa Monica Handicap win with repeated high-level efforts in the Whimsical Stakes (G2), Doncaster Cup (G3), Irish Grand National (G1 SC), and Highland Rogue Breeders' Stakes (G2). Always somewhere near the finish when the money was serious.
*Glitterish
6(3)-2-2(1)-2(2)-0-$183,000
While her biggest wins came earlier, she still had a very classy 2023, hitting the board in the Nassau County Breeders' Cup (G2), Chicago Breeders' Cup Handicap (G3), and Coaching Club American Oaks (G1). A juvenile-turned-sophomore filly who held her own as the waters got deeper.
*Victory Party
9(8)-0-3(2)-4(4)-0-$112,500
Even without a stakes win on the year, he made himself impossible to ignore: on the board in the Up and Coming Stakes (G2), Ming Dynasty Cup (G3), Historic Stakes (G3), Stan Fox Stakes (G2), and Albany Stakes (UNG). Perennial “in the frame” horse who just kept racking up blacktype.
