As usual, some indefensible voting.. and as is typical, in the human categories

That Gary Barber isn't a finalist is an embarrassment considering he should be honored as the year's top Owner.

Tough to separate the HOY top 3 but I'm would go with Monomoy Girl. Undefeated in 2020 gives her an edge.

Baffert being a finalist for champion trainer, after all that went on with his barn in 2020, is a disgrace.

I would have had Charlatan as the third finalist for top 3yo male over Nadal.

Authentic's right hind leg was starting to feel like Chekhov's gun during the ceremony appearances he made, so I'm glad Mr. Hughes was at a safe distance on the other side for HOY.
