Q-RACING JOURNAL—MAY 27, 2015—Tee Chic and Regard With Respect, likely favorites for Saturday's $1,290,000 Heritage Place Futurity (G1) final at Remington Park, continue to garner much respect in this week's AQHA Racing-Horseplayernow.com National Poll for 2-year-olds.

No. 1-rated Tee Chic, the Oklahoma Futurity (G2) winner, aims for a fourth-straight win without a loss and a chance to secure his status as the nation’s top early season juvenile of 2015. Meanwhile, Oklahoma-bred Futurity (RG3) victor Regard With Respect sits at No. 3 once again this week and also searches for a perfect 4-for-4 mark on Saturday.

As for the top 10 older horses in the rankings this week, they remained solid from the top down, led by Los Al Winter Championship (G1) heroine Matabari. But Saturday’s $250,000 Remington Park Invitational Championship (G1) could have a say in next week’s rankings. The current No. 4 (Dashin Brown Streak), No. 6 (Gold Digging Ashley), No. 7 (Rockin Disco) and No. 10 (Wagon Full Of Gold) performers all are among the entries, which also include reigning world champion JRC Callas First.
