Equibase Rankings: Veterans and Rising Stars Highlight the Week

The post-Breeders’ Cup lull may seem to be coming, but there was still plenty of meaningful betting action in North America last week. The graded stakes at Aqueduct and Churchill Downs produced standout performances that caused some movement on the Equibase leaderboard, which measured wins in North American races for 2025.

In January of this year, Disco Time earned 20 points heading into the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve by rallying late in the Grade 3 Lecomte Stakes at Fair Grounds. However, the Not This Time colt suffered a setback that forced him to miss the Derby. About eight months later, Disco Time returned to the track in September to dominate the St. Louis Derby at Fairmount Park, winning by 5 ½ lengths in his first start after a long break. He then took a little reset and came back to romp 9 ¾ lengths in Saturday’s Dwyer Stakes at Aqueduct for trainer Brad Cox. The homebred Juddmonte is a perfect 5-for-5 in his career and with his third win of the year in the Dwyer, Disco Time shot up in the Equibase standings to 39th.^e in the 3-year-old men’s division with $410,000 in earnings. He earned a career 112 Equibase Speed ​​Figure for his Dwyer victory.

The Grade 2 Mother Goose Stakes at Aqueduct was the focus of the weekend’s activity and attracted a strong group of 3-year-old fillies, including Longines Kentucky Oaks runner-up Drexel Hill. But it was Fully Subscribed who put in an impressive performance to win by 4 ½ lengths under Dylan Davis. Fully Subscribed earned her first win of the season after finishing second and third in the compensation company earlier this year, and the performance moved her into the top 100 in her division – she is now ranked 79th.^e among three-year-old fillies with an income of $195,800 in 2025.

In Kentucky, the Grade 3 River City Stakes at Churchill Downs was the highlight of the weekend. Wolfie’s Dynaghost, a 7-year-old gelding by Ghostzapper, continues to be a warhorse and finds the winner’s circle. The Woodslane Farm homebred earned a career-best 114 Equibase Speed ​​Figure on Saturday to win the River City by 2 ¾ lengths. He completed 1 1/8 miles on the grass in 1:45.58, just 0.07 seconds off the track record, for trainer Brian Lynch with Luis Saez on board. Wolfie’s Dynaghost is now 70^e in the older male division with $337,458 in earnings.

There were no changes to the top 10 jockeys in North America, with Flavien Prat still holding steady at the top of the leaderboard with $36,252,539 in earnings. Prat had 10 wins (37%) last week, all at Aqueduct, collecting $568,510 in earnings. Jose Ortiz led all jockeys in winnings last week with $761,783 and tied Prat for the most wins with 10.

There were also no changes in the top 10 trainers. Brad Cox led all trainers in North America last week in both wins (eight) and earnings ($538,008), and remains atop the leaderboard. He is comfortably ahead of the leaderboard with earnings of $26,731,407 in 2025, almost $4.2 million more than second-place Chad Brown.
