Huh? End of the year awards in baseball aren't determined by fans.

This year, horse of the year was voted on by the fans. Those couldn't have been knowledgeable racing people that voted that.

As for the series, I liked it when they had it and think it would be a good thing to have again. More than that though, I'd like a national stakes schedule. Whether or not the races are tied together is secondary.

I would love to see this series to return. If done right maybe it could draw some horses back as older horses instead of just retiring. Also you might have these horses run more often if mapped out right instead of the trainer making their own thin schedule.
