Knicks Go at Saratoga Race Course
Korea Racing Authority's 5-year-old Knicks Go retained his No. 1 rating in the National Thoroughbred Racing Association Top Thoroughbred Poll for the seventh straight week as there were no changes in order and no starts among the overall Top 10.
Flurry Racing Stables, Qatar Racing, and Big Aut Farms' 4-year-old filly Shesdaresthedevil moved into 11th in this week's poll following a victory in the Locust Grove Stakes (G3) at Churchill Downs. Shedaresthedevil is expected to make her next start in the Longines Breeders' Cup Distaff (G1) Nov. 6 at Del Mar.
Brad Cox trains Knicks Go and Shedaresthedevil, as well as Godolphin's 3-year-old Essential Quality , who is third in the poll.
