Ny Traffic Moves Up in NTRA Top 3-Year-Old Poll

Authentic's victory in the TVG.com Haskell Stakes (G1) allowed him to hold his ground on the latest National Thoroughbred Racing Association Top 3-Year-Old Poll, but it was race runner-up Ny Traffic who gained heightened regard among voters. 

In earning his first career top-level triumph July 18, Authentic kept himself among the leading Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve (G1) contenders and remained in the third position on the poll with 280 points. The only newcomer to the top 10 being the aforementioned Ny Traffic, who jumps from 18th up to sixth with 124 points.
