The oft-quoted phrase in harness racing is that 'It all comes down to the Breeders Crown' and that certainly looks to be the case in the 2015 Trot Magazine Fantasy Stable.

Fantasy Stable players will have all eyes on Woodbine Racetrack for the next two weekends. While the Trot Magazine Fantasy Stable contest is based on total earnings of selected horses and five percent of the earnings of selected trainers and drivers between May 22 and December 31, 2015, the winners (horses only) of the 2015 Breeders Crown Finals will each receive a $200,000 Fantasy Stable contest bankroll bonus.

The $5.8 million Breeders Crown events will be contested on Saturday, Oct. 24 at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ont.

Bolstered by the Kentucky Futurity win of Pinkman, Frank Sernaglia's Gottabelucky stable sits atop the near 1,200 entrants with a bankroll exceeding $6.458 million. Not far behind him is Rick Kalina of Strongsville, Ohio with his Bigrik Stable boasting $6.21 million. Chris I Smith of Moncton, N.B. is the only other fantasy player past the $6 million plateau.

The top 10 stables as of October 13, 2015 are featured below. To see the full list of results, click the following link: 2015 Trot Magazine Fantasy Stable Results
