Sure but the people who vote on these things arent exactly out of the box types. Just having the most horses doesnt seem to be a fantastic achievement but who can compete numberswise? Just like Adena Springs or Farnsworth winning the breeders eclipse because of sheer volume. I agree that JS is having a fantastic year and should be a serious contender especially if those horses continue to run as well as they have.
