After the first Classics of the season, G1 2000 Guineas hero Ruling Court (Justify) is among the top 10 at 121, the same number given to GI Kentucky Derby victor Sovereignty (Into Mischief). The former defeated the 120-rated Field Of Gold (Kingman) and Guineas third-place finisher Shadow Of Light (Lope De Vega) (119). In the Louisville showpiece, Sovereignty beat Journalism (Curlin) (119) by 1 1/2 lengths. Japan's Tastiera (Satono Crown) is a newcomer to the rankings with a mark of 120 after winning the G1 QEII Cup in Hong Kong. Several horses are tied at 119–G1 Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas) scorer Museum Mile (Leontes), G1 Prix Ganay winner Sosie (Sea The Stars), American Horse of the Year and GI Apple Blossom Handicap heroine Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna), and Via Sistina (Fastnet Rock), successful in the G1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes in Australia.
