But then again, I've seen a few bad Eclipse votings...i musdt admit that the voters (and i know MANY of them) in this industry..alot of them are not half-qualified to vote.....too many people with little knowledge of this industry have votes and it is not right...i'll leave it at that...

just like when Declan's moon beat out Afleet Alex as Champ 2-yo a few years ago when never leaving Cali. or running in the BC while Alex carrered his game to all the big dances and won multiple important stakes and never dodged anyone while runnig well everytime with some bad luck when he lost.....stupdi West coast propaganda gave it to Declan's moon - who is now showing that he is a real rat while Afleet Alex was a true champion race horse....

I don't think anyone need worry about Barbaro taking 3 y.o. now. I think it's a shame in a way because it is just that Barbaro didn't have a chance to show us what was coming. However, confirmed Bobby fan that I am, there is no taking away from what Bernardini is doing. It also doesn't take away from what Barbaro is doing. No one is ever going to forget Barbaro and that is for sure. He doesn't need an Eclipse.

I always felt Alex was SO totally ripped off. At least I don't feel anyone will be here. I'm thinking we are fortunate to have had two such exciting horses in one year.

afleet alex absolutely deserved the eclipse over declan's moon. but he made up for that all on his own.
