Default POY and TOY Nominations

It is that time of year again folks....the big awards season has arrived....

There are some big favorites this year, but many worthy contenders should not be forgotten simply because they happened early in the year which could lead to them being overshadowed by flashier alternatives.

Here are my picks for the top 3 choices in each category....although I could easily be forgetting some worthy nominees that should be added.
We'll start with Post of the Year

POY Nominees

This is about the last place I'd go to solicit this kind of advice.

What a virile stallion he is. He is full of energy and has much desire for the fillies.

TOY Nominees


1) What would you do?
http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...ight=dipsh%21t
This thread contains some fine work all around and one of the favorites for POY.

2) The Big Contest
http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26156
The 4/5 favorite.

3) Big Brown
http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...ghlight=legend
This is a great thread, although it doesn't realy reach possible TOY status until PG's declaration on page six that Giant Moon would run Big Brown into the ground. It contains good overall quality, one definite POY nominee, and another that certainly could be considered. blackthroatedwind's post after one of his favorite former posters enters the discussion made me laugh several times.

Gives new meaning to the name Golden Missile.
