i think there should be a concrete method for choosing horse of the year. whether a points system or something. voting should not be the way. too much like the oscars, and like the oscars, seems horses are pushed only towards the latter part of the year....the bcc was a good thing, but in many ways is a bad one.

and i almost choked on my sunflower seeds when i heard the arc referred to as a great PREP for the bc!!!! it's not a prep!!!! as tho all races leading to ky in the spring are preps, when they're legit races in their own right, as well as the fall racing leading up to the bc. i think the bc should be put smack dab in the middle of the year. or in the spring...it's too late in the year.
