AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE ASSOCIATION—OCTOBER 19, 2016—Despite a non-qualifying run in the $1,016,250 Golden State Million Futurity (G1) trials at Los Alamitos this past weekend, Ed Burke Million Futurity (G1) winner Chazaq held on to the No. 3 ranking in this week's AQHA Racing-Horseplayernow.com national poll for 2-year-olds, trailing only All American Futurity (G1) winner Imperial Eagle and Rainbow Futurity (G1) winner A Revenant in the rankings.

P and J Racing Ltd.'s Cartel Sixes topped the qualifiers for the million-dollar race set for October 30. There were no major changes to the Top 10 juveniles in this week's voting.
