No ... there doesn't HAVE to be a winner. Vacating the award only strengthens the purpose of the award ... which is to honor the best horse in a division as a "champion."
No sprinter deserved that acclamation last year ... it cheapened the whole meaning of the Eclipse Awards.
And it doesn't matter at all what I think ... the voters should have the option of checking a box which says "No champion" ... and let that be the determinant.
