I think that's the case with PG85 this year. Clearly he's the best there's ever been, but this year I'm not sure he's done enough to win it. Sure he dreamt the ending to a race, asked a horse racing message board how to play the stock market, and brought a lot of joy and merriment into all of our lives, but in my opinion he hasn't quite reached his own former standard of excellence.

2010 will probably always be remembered in the world of horsey boards as the year of the Zenyattard, and to honor that fact I think it would only be fair to give the award to Smooth Operator.
Fair? Man, he freakin earned it.
