all in Triple Crown

Each week, members of the national media vote on the nation's top contenders on the Triple Crown trail in the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) Top Thoroughbred Poll.

Week 7 of the 2024 Top 3-Year-Old Thoroughbred Poll conducted by the NTRA covers racing performances through March 10, 2024.

The 3-year-old poll represents horses competing up to and through the Triple Crown. Rankings are based on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-1 voting system. First place votes are in parentheses.

The $250,000, Grade 3 Whitmore Stakes Saturday at Oaklawn Park showcases a field of seven talented sprinters. Fittingly, the six-furlong race is named for the exceptional sprinter who won more than $4.5 million, including the 2020 Breeders’ Cup Sprint and three editions of the Count Fleet Sprint Handicap at Oaklawn.
