Of course, she shouldn't be considered, but it is interesting.

I wonder which three of Midnight Lute, Street Boss, Indian Blessing and Benny the Bull will be the finalists.

I thought there were two seperate awards for males and females. I don't know who gets it for males but I'd probably vote for Midnight Lute. For the females, even though I think Indian Blessing is the better one, I'd vote for Intangaroo. I don't see how Intangaroo's record doesn't trump Indian Blessing's. Indian Blessing won two grade one's sprinting and both were against 3yo fillies. She beat open company once, in a grade two. None of the horses that completed the exactas and tris in those three races have done anything of note, save for maybe one or two grade three wins. Meanwhile, Intangaroo won three open company grade one races and two of them, the Humana Distaff and the Ballerina were on real dirt. In those races, she beat Baroness Thatcher, Hystericalady, Miraculous Miss, and Sugar Swirl, all graded stakes winners and gave them all weight while doing it. Based on record, it's really not even close.
