Stardom Bound, who has compiled four consecutive Grade 1 wins on synthetic surfaces, also is nominated to the Triple Crown. She has never raced on dirt.

The nominations also include Darley Alcibiades Stakes (G1) winner Dream Empress, Frizette Stakes (G1) winner Sky Diva, Hollywood Starlet Stakes (G1) winner Laragh, Forward Gal Stakes (G2) winner Frolic’s Dream, Golden Rod Stakes (G2) winner Rachel Alexandra, Matron Stakes (G2) winner Doremifasollatido, San Vicente Stakes (G2) winner Evita Argentina, Delta Princess Stakes (G3) winner Four Gifts, and Silverbulletday Stakes (G3) winner War Echo.
