With a different winner in each Triple Crown race this year, the disqualified Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve (G1) winner Maximum Security has returned to the No. 1 spot in the final National Thoroughbred Racing Association Top 3-Year-Old Poll over Preakness Stakes (G1) winner War of Will. The Belmont Stakes presented by NYRA Bets (G1) victor Sir Winston also joins the top 10.

Bricks and Mortar remains the clear leader of the NTRA Top Thoroughbred Poll after winning his fifth consecutive race in the Manhattan Stakes (G1T). The Top Thoroughbred Poll will continue to run through the Breeders' Cup the first weekend of November.
