The stats kept by equibase are the recoginzed stats.
Using money won on foreign soil makes absolutely no sense and borders on adsurd.
On equibase, the recognized stats keeper of the industry Prado has earned 19.6 million and Gomez has earned 18.7 million.
The Drf would have you believe that David Junior is the Us's 2nd leading money winner, they have him listed as such. They also have Dylan Thomas as our 6th leading money earner(yeah, loved the efforts of both of those in America, really good stuff, lol). Collier Hill is listed as our 8th leading money earner(I know most of you just said who?).
I guess if you think its proper to list Gomez as the leading money earner you also think that its proper to list David Junior, Dylan Thomas, and Collier Hill as the 2nd, 6th, and 8th leading money earners as far as horses go.
This is silly.
Prado is the leading American money earner, period.

I can't argue with what you are saying. What you are saying is right. I just get all of my information from drf.com. That's the website I use for everything.
So Gomez has made more money total if you include the Dubai races. If you don't count those races, then Prado has made a little more. I don't know why drf.com counts that money if they're not supposed to. Are you sure that the voters are not supposed to count that money? You better hope that the voters use equibase and not drf.
Who would you give the Eclipse to? I assume you think that it should be between Prado and Gomez? Has Prado ever won it before? I know Gomez has not.
