Super Chapter, who last raced on Oct. 3 winning the Dayton Trotting Derby and received a bye to the Breeders Crown Open Trot, and Brandon Blvd, a runner-up in a Breeders Crown elimination on Oct. 17, were followed in the Top 10 rankings by On To Norway, Wall Of Fame and Big Ranger, who vaulted from eighth to fifth after winning his Breeders Crown elimination over the weekend. Twin B Joe Fresh, another Breeders Crown elim winner, moved from ninth to seventh, one spot behind Apex and ahead of Redland Rocket Man, Shalom Hanover and newcomer Wrong Sounds Right following his own Crown elim victory.
Best Chip dropped out of the Top 10.
