A very nice sentiment Joe, but hard to put him ahead of anyone with just the Smithwick win to go on. After the slam dunk championship for Rawnaq, can't deny Scorpiancer and Top Striker their nods.

Scorpiancer won the G1 Lonesome Glory and enjoyed 3 more G1 placings including the narrow Grand National loss to Rawnaq at Far Hills.

Top Striker was the most improved hurdler of the year coming on late to win the G2 Zeke Ferguson and then the prestigious G1 Colonial.

Certainly won't forget Bob Le Beau though. A particularly good chaser over racetrack courses.
