I don't think the average Eclipse voter is dissecting Sheppard's record at tracks like Colonial or Delaware any more than they are looking at Asmussen's record on synthetic surfaces. The fact is that the votes in these human categories is superficial, at best, and only a handful of trainers with large numbers of horses really have a chance to win the award.
