Sorry, Hoss ... you must have missed the posts on this thread where I proposed the solution ... that is ...
... that the Eclipse Sprint Award should have been vacated ... that is ... no champion named.
There are years when that's the best solution ... and I argued for it all last Fall. The champion in any division should be a horse who raced well over a substantial portion of the year ... AND ... who somehow demonstrated a reasonably clear superiority to his rivals.
There wasn't an American sprinter last year ... who deserved to carry the glorious word "champion" for all eternity.
Giving it to a horse who may not have even been in the top 10 ... debased the whole meaning of the Eclipse Award.
