New Pacesetters Emerge Atop the 2-Year-Old Ranks

Equibase's leaderboard reshuffled this week, and the shake-up runs deep: fresh names have pushed into the top 50 among North America's 2-year-olds. For anyone who tracks this sport from the sales ring forward, an early-season leaderboard like this one is where next year's stakes horses first announce themselves. The movement was substantial enough to be the week's headline story across the continent's tracks.
