Catholic Boy
Off his victory in the Runhappy Travers Stakes (G1) Aug. 25 at Saratoga Race Course, Catholic Boy cracked the top ten in this week's NTRA Top Thoroughbred Poll.
In a week that saw three new horses move into the poll's top ten, Catholic Boy was the biggest mover as he went from 20th last week to sixth in the poll released Aug. 27.
Also joining the top ten were Abel Tasman, who moved from 11th to 5th on the strength of her win in the Personal Ensign Stakes (G1) on the Travers undercard; and undefeated Catalina Cruiser, who moved from 13th to ninth off his victory in the Pat O'Brien Stakes (G2) Aug. 25 at Del Mar.
