A record 450 3-year-olds were nominated for the 2007 Triple Crown by the January 20 deadline of the early period, the most since the creation of Triple Crown Productions in 1985. Early nomination pay a $600 fee, and they are now all eligible for the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes. The previous record was 446 nominations set in 2003 and last year only had 427. Although early nominations are now closed, owners can still nominate their 3-year-olds by March 26 for a $6000 fee.
Globalization in racing is evident here, as a record 27 nominees are from Europe or the Middle East. Zayat Stable own the most nominees with 16, with Mrs. John Magnier owning 12. Anthony Sciametta tops the trainers list with 26 nominations. Nick Zito is a distant second in this category with 18 nominees, followed by 17 trained by Bob Baffert, and 13 each trained by D. Wayne Lukas and Steve Asmussen. Three-time Eclipse Award winning trainer Todd Pletcher is missing from the list as he is currently serving a suspension, but his horses are represented by list-topper Sciametta and Michael McCarthy with 6 nominations, effectively giving Pletcher a total of 32.
"We are highly impressed at the remarkable response we have received once again for racing's Triple Crown," said Edward P. Seigenfeld, executive vice president of Triple Crown Productions. "Each year we are hopeful of widespread participation and we continue to be rewarded with an amazing amount of enthusiasm from horsemen the world over. Our Triple Crown racetracks are immensely grateful for the participation in this greatest of all athletic tests. As the Road to the Triple Crown unfolds, we wish the best of luck and safe racing to all those connected to these wonderful 3-year-old equine athletes."
Nominations during the early period, which closed on January 20, cost $600 but horses can still be nominated by March 26 during the late nomination period for a fee of $6000.
