Top 10 Horses to Watch in the Second Half of 2024
In the latest episode of the popular HorseCenter podcast, hosts Brian Zipse and Matt Shifman revealed the 10 horses they are most excited to see run in the second half of the 2024 racing season. With the conclusion of the prestigious Triple Crown series, the focus in the sport of horse racing now shifts towards the year-end championships.
Zipse and Shifman’s mid-year watch list features seven impressive 3-year-olds, led by the talented filly Thorpedo Anna, who recently captured the prestigious Grade 1 Acorn Stakes at Saratoga. The European sensation City of Troy, trained by the legendary Aidan O’Brien, is expected to make a highly anticipated appearance in the United States later this year.
The duo also discussed the promising future of Belmont Stakes runner-up Mindframe and the continued success of the West Coast star Nysos. Following his dominant victory in the Met Mile (G1), National Treasure has emerged as the leading contender for the coveted Horse of the Year title and is expected to face off against the $12 million earner Señor Buscador at some point during the remainder of the season.
“As always, Zipse and Shifman expressed their gratitude to the loyal fans of HorseCenter for tuning in and supporting their insightful coverage of the thrilling world of horse racing.”
