On Which Surface?

What if Hystericalady or Ginger Punch should somehow win the Distaff? The sad thing is that Hystericalady has so far shown a disdain for the synthetics, and now must race over it if she hopes to win a championship, while the surface gives Proud Spell an excuse to avoid another meeting with Music Note (unless Darley sends her to the Cotillion for a "rubber match").

Your post also got me thinking about other categories. If you had an inconclusive result in the Filly and Mare Sprint, who would deserve year-end honors for female sprinter: Intangaroo or Indian Blessing? Can Street Boss, who has been really impressive in his races this year, win the champion sprinter award without ever leaving California, and never racing on conventional dirt?
