I agree with all except Jazil. He was the what, 5th choice in the Belmont and 12th-ish choice in the Derby? Both were pretty reasonable estimations by the public.

I retract my earlier statement for Strong Contender as Overall Overrated Horse of the Year. FLEET INDIAN is the Champion F&M Overrated Horse of the Year and Overall Overrated Horse of the Year. Give her my phantom Eclipse vote.
