Here is the way I see it based on what I think they can do against older horses and how they will top out based on their record and their potential.
Grade 1
California Chrome
Shared Belief
Bayern
Grade 2
Tonalist
Grade 3
Wicked Strong
The rest of the 3 year old crop will have a few overnight stakes winners but the majority will become allowance horses.
Wicked Strong must prove he can run a good race outside of New York. Just like Commanding Curve must prove he can run somewhere other than CD.
Of course a couple of horses will come out of nowhere and win a graded stakes race, but we just have to wait and find out who.
