It's supposed to be 'Horse of the Year' not 'Horse of a Career'. Frankly, I think a bunch of the voters for Rachel last year felt guilty (which they shouldn't) since she came back this year and was not as spectacular so they wanted to right a 'wrong' in Zenyatta's favor. She is a great mare but her campaign (body of work in 2010) is just not worthy of being voted ahead of Blame.
I suppose now we'll be subjected to years of clammering for Zenyatta as 'Broodmare of the Year' ..........................
