Isn't this like voting for the President of Iran? The clear winner has to be Eblouissante. After all, she has some of Zenyatta's blood and she is undefeated.

I would say probably 10 times more "racing fans" know more about her than Successful Dan.

And, I'm pretty sure his full brother Wise Dan or Zenyatta in her prime wouldn't have a chance with him on Alysheba day. When, In outstanding time, he completely overpowered a no-excuse 2nd and no-excuse 3rd place finishers who broke open the BC Classic together later in the year.

The day they start nominating outstanding "cheaper" horses perhaps starter allowance ponies who venture into the right alw conditioned spot and do seven of ten wins, Is the day a poll will matter to me .

Oh and by cheaper, I mean cheaper, the kind the average man or group could get together with a trainer , maybe on deal or maybe paying the full freight on there own.

The 6,250 (where did that number come from), 10,000 or 12,500 but not much higher
