i agree, nothing beats head to head comp. if people worried about making good bets as much as they worry about these goofy (fake) awards they would do better at the track. its basically a bunch of fat guys that smoke cigars voting on who they THINK deserves some corny award. most of them could not get up and do a lap around the dinner table, yet they KNOW what a great athlete is. its moronic, thats why i can't remember who won this crap more than a year back. yet, ask me who won the belmont in 1978 and i'll tell you. the funniest part of it, is watching everyone bitch about who deserves what. the races are in the books, what, somehow a group of chosen "experts" are going to sort out which horses are most deserving of a crappy plaque. i'm sure going to be heart broken if so and so deos not get one of those.....lol....
