AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE ASSOCIATION—OCTOBER 1, 2014—Abigail Kawananakoa's Significant Heart forged her way into this week’s AQHA Racing-Horseplayernow.com National Poll for 3-year-olds and older following her victory in Sunday’s$150,000 Mildred Vessels Memorial Handicap (G1) at Los Alamitos.

The two-time stakes winner on the season advanced to No. 9 in the poll, which was led once again this week by Bon Accord. Significant Heart was the only newcomer to the rankings for the older horses.
