the NTRA Poll should be “indicative of who may be crowned a divisional Champion in their respective divisions and ultimately reflect Horse of the Year.”

Contradicting.
Who can be Horse of the Year:
Game on Dude will be if he wins the Breeders Cup Classic.
Wise Dan almost certainly will be if Game on Dude doesn't win the Breeders Cup Classic and he wins the Mile.
Cross Traffic can be if he wins out and both Wise Dan and Game On Dude flame out.
Other than that, the field is about 100-1 to win Horse of the Year. Which means you don't need a top 10 poll...you need a top 2 and a half.
As to "indicative of who may be crowned a divisional Champion in their respective divisions" I guess you're supposed to vote for divisional leaders who can't sniff horse of the year after that?
That would make Princess of Sylmar #4
Riveting.
