Four of the seven members of the Top Midlantic-bred Poll have dates in this weekend’s Breeders’ Cup.
In the first poll of the year in which all horses compete against each other, Stellar Wind is the clear choice as the top Midlantic-bred.
Undefeated Songbird is the overwhelming favorite in the Grade 1 Cotillion, while Kentucky Derby champ Nyquist heads the G2 Pennsylvania Derby.
Cathryn Sophia remained the unanimous choice of voters as the region’s best three-year-old, while Stellar Wind holds down the top spot among older horses.
