Blame the Eclipse Award voters who place too much emphasis on the BC. It's all the same bunch of people. I bet if you looked at the Board of Directors of the NTRA you would find 25% of them use an initial instead of a first name. Same people as the Breeders Cup people. Some of the rest go by three or four names or a nickname WTF - what 60 year old man goes by the name of Binny? It's all about keeping the money as close to the breeders as possible.
After all, it is called the Breeders Cup.
